Because I want to vent ...
... and venting at the site of the wank is really a waste of time ...
Boy do I wish people would learn what the fuck plagiarism is before they mount their witch hunts.
It's beyond comprehension to me that Cassie Claire was defended by anyone at the same time that people think the same plotline, premise, or setting, or the use of a similar phrase, is plagiarism. Direct lifting of a complete work, or substantial portions of the work - verbatim, people (look it up) - while claiming credit for creating it - that is plagiarism. This "it seemed sorta similar, and no one has ever had the ideas I've had ever so I have the copyright" bullshit is just egotism and ignorance.
