There are two stalkers of mine that recently posted that I plagiarize. Uh. Negative. I have been a victim of plagiarism. Numerous times. Pot, kettle, black. Mean anything?
Meaning
The notion of a criticism a person is making of another could well apply to themself.
With my ongoing relationships with the companies I work with, often times, get press releases asking me to post the content and/or to promote a contest that the company has going on. I did this with Thermos (twice), along with numerous companies. This is called respecting the companies I work with. Unlike some bloggers, I do not demand product for everything that I write about. If I believe in that company and believe in those products – I will write about it. This is common sense and common courtesy. On some reviews that I DO write for with the product in hand, I will find a video (as approved from the company, prior hand) and use that video. Why? Because maybe my video wasn’t able to show that product in action. Some things, it is hard to video one handed.
If you believe that Mommy Goggles plagiarizes, then you may want to reconsider your source and read the posts before you start pointing fingers, especially when the ‘source‘ has committed a few crimes themselves.
As always, you are welcome to contact me through my contact page as well. Respect me. I will respect you.
PS: Thanks for the linky love. I love increased traffic.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing-I’ve only ever had to deal with that once to my knowledge-it sucks that you’ve had to deal with this as an ongoing issue. Enjoyed reading it so much had to add it to my meme – Favorite Friday! http://www.prettypinkchandelier.com/2009/10/09/favorite-friday-posts-ive-enjoyed-this-week-from-the-bloggerverse/

Are those two nitwits at it again? I mean can they look up the word “Jealous”? It’s obvious that is what is going on with your fantabulous blog! Tell them to get bent and go swindle another victim.

That “Black Kettle Blog of theirs is LAME anyway..Ha!

You’ll be amused to know that Del posted a video on his blog, about Trisha (I’m assuming the other one, since I don’t blog and they don’t know squat about me, really). He’s in drag. AND he’s deleting all comments that don’t agree with him and support him. SO basically he’s doing EXACTLY what he accused you of. Yup, pot kettle black!

Ugh, I have “known” Kristin for some time through various message boards. Funny how she never changes. And like anyone actually believes that Del is the one with his own blog defending his crazy woman’s honor. RIIIIIGHT!

The truth will come out. And you know its funny. I know a little something about this whole thing too. So it’s interesting that its them against apparently MANY of us.

If these morons are actually printing this glop, that you are plagarizing, you have a lawsuit. They are accusing you of a crime. Plagarism *is* a crime, and they are only allowed to print this statement if it’s true…which it is NOT.
I can never remember whether libel is printed, and slander is oral, or the other way around. Either way, you can sue them. The fact they were stupid enough to print it gives you an open and shut case. Call your family attorney.

Seriously, the pot/kettle thing was FUNNY.
Hey, i just noticed your little tweet thing on the side. That is cool.
Btw, I know what you mean. I put up press releases all the the time, with company approval (I mean, its a PR release) with no giveaway/review attached to it in order to support a company i believe in. In fact, my gift guide is almost ALL press releases only. I really dont have time to do 45 ‘reviews’ a month, but it doesn’t mean I dont want to share the information with my readers. Thats not plagiarism….do you want me to send a dictionary to someone?
