All this stuff about your dead friend aside (you'll excuse me if I don't take your word on that, given your track record and your lack of proof), I want you to explain to me, Michelle, why you stole my work numerous times and posted it as your own. I'm not the only person you did this to. I am hurt, I am angry, and I am disgusted. And I want some answers.
You may not know this, but everything posted in a public forum on the internet is copyrighted to the poster. It is illegal to plagiarize it and claim it as your own. More than that, it's immoral. You took credit for and accepted praise for my work. You didn't just post it without comment; on several occasions you actively claimed to have written or produced it yourself. I am disgusted.
Taking it down does not make it okay. This had been going on for almost a year, as far as I know. Not only do I want an apology, I want an explanation. There's no excuse for this, but I want to know what you were thinking.
