Wow<\/a>. I remember this happened once to Jimbo<\/a> – someone plagiarized pretty much his entire blog, and passed it off as his own. The weird thing about the Jimbo situation is that he writes about HIS LIFE – it’s a JOURNAL – and someone plagiarized his posts about his girlfriends, his rock-climbing, his own personal life. Granted, he’s a terrific writer – I’m sure a lot of people would read Jimbo’s stuff and think “I wish I could write like that’ – but still. To copy?? To pawn it off as something you wrote??

I hope this situation is rectified soon, Beth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
