 Hey lady - it seems that your OH blog is using one of my favorite bloggers ABOUT section and posts as yours? This is her:  http://joyunexpected.com/ And your profile is the same. Bizarre.  She's not a member here - that I know of - but apparently she just found it.  What's up? 

is this where we say "BUSTED"???

yikes.....very NOT cool

Thanks Beth.

 You know what's funny, I swore I had read her most recent MB post a couple years back.

Plagiarizing a WLS blog is not only low, but stupid, given what a relatively small and connected community we are.

wow i cant believe how much she stole from the joyunexpected.com sight. i have answered one or 2 of her posts but shes obviously a fake. makes me feel dumb, ohh well what can i do but move on. i actually cant wait to see her response though, will "jewels" try and talk her way out of this? i will definatly be back to read some more.

she deactivated her membership / profile........ so much for the "soap of the day" I needed a new one since Guiding light went off the air... 

Well I feel stupid...I am usually pretty good at spotting fakes she got me on this one...Hell I even had her on my friends list...Good catch!!!

I dont get it?? what happened here?  whats going on?

An OH member named purple_jewels created a profile here and filled it with a bunch of posts and essays that another WLS blogger had written, presenting them as if they were her own writing. She just posted one to the main board too.

They were directly copied and pasted with only a word or two changed ("Tony Robbins" became "Richard Simmons", "Costco" became "Sam's Club". She even copied that blogger's profile info word for word.

Now it appears she has deactivated her account (or OH has).
