That's what I don't get though. There are hundreds, thousands, of people small and petty enough to rip off other, better talented authors and claim their words as their own. But I don't see major fandom wanks about them that pop up with the level of hate that CC generates. They flare up, they're reported, that shit gets dealt with and the offending stories removed, and the internet moves the fuck on.
So why can't people move on in this case? Why does it keep getting called up again and again?
She doesn't deserve the comments like "man the harpoons!" or to have people who now try to ruin her career because of what happened so many years ago. I don't think anyone should be dragged through the mud for a mistake they made almost a decade ago. If she were still active in fandom, I'd say she's fair game but since she's dropped out of fandom completely years back, I wish people would just move past it already. There's plenty of other things to wank.
And I think it's just creepy in general to have shit from 10 years ago brought back up again and again and again no matter who it was or what they did. Unless they were out murdering puppies or whatever it's not worth it.
