[or-roots] The name of the person who plagiarised my site

[Stephenie Flora]

I have been getting some comments off of the list regarding releasing the
name of this individual and I would like to expand on my previous comments.
First of all, I know nothing about her but I believe she may be fairly new
to genealogy.  If I were to look back on my beginning years in genealogy I
am sure there could be a book written about the mistakes I made.  

 

I have been dealing with her on a one to one basis and I am sure that if she
had an opportunity to throw me off of a bridge she would be looking for a
really high one because I had no intention of backing down and just going
away and let her know it.  In turn, I got the results I needed but I left a
very mad and defiant individual.  Her logic and sense of indignation is
beyond the scope of understanding when you consider that in a matter of 6
months she has pirated over 11,000 burial records complete with information
from two web sites.

 

Releasing her name would serve no purpose.  In my younger days I might have
burned her at the stake but I am older, wiser and have come to realize that
the choices I make today will be the ones I have to live with tomorrow.  I
am a big believer in the old adage, Do something about the things you can
fix and let go of the ones you can't.

 

I do not plan on living my life worried about some rabid genealogist with
revenge on her mind.  The things I do when I am not doing genealogy are much
more dangerous and ten times more likely to kill me.  My concern now is with
Find A Grave and their blatant disregard when this type of thing is
reported.  That is where we should all be focused because if it wasn't for
their policies there would be no problem in the first place.  I hope you all
join with me and focus on them as the issue.
