someone wrote in one of my posts that i copy and pasted my topic. this was a post i wrote about of something that happened to me yesterday. i don't get how he got to this conclusion. my post was "sending your kids to a stranger" http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1021184.aspx?p=3
it really upsets me to have someone write this in my post. i didn't copy it. this happened to me yesterday. i don't want people thinking i'm cheating in here.
has anyone ever acused you wrongly, what can i do to clear my name? has anyone seen another discussion that was similar and can you send me the link. i didn't do a search for this topic first because i was just venting about what had just happened.

I wouldn't worry too much...it's probably someone who mistakingly posted to your discussion OR they are just trying to start trouble! I read your post and I have never seen another one like it here. Granted, I miss a lot of posts, but you are always original with your discussions so I can't see that you would copy/paste now. Don't worry.

i know, most of my posts are about my daughter and what we do all day or the cute things she says. so i don't get how someone could acuse that of copy and pasting. i guess i won't take it to heart. my friends on here who respond to my posts know i'm not doing that.

You should have asked him to send you the link. I wouldn't worry about it. I have noticed when a topic comes up about something usually 3 or 4 more follow from others on that same discussions or topic. So maybe someone else copied yours or started a topic similar to yours

Ok I wouldn't mind what he said because you posted what was your experience. Although I do know what post he is talking about and they are very similar but I read both of them and they are different. I am trying to find it for you so that you can look at it. I would just say keep posting from your experiences and ignore him.

I can't find it but I do remember parts of it something about a child coming up into the yard and asking to play her mom said that it was ok so the mom let her play for a while and then she was taking her children inside so she told the little girl that she had to go home now. I can't believe that I can't find it. But just like I told you I wouldn't worry about it because it was something that you posted from experience. There are so many things on here that are alike how can some not sound the same.

Found it. It's on Page 17 of Children. And the title is What would you have done? And it was posted by Michele21. They are not the same.

thanks, i did ask him to provide the link to the discussion he is referring to. no response from him as of yet.
i mostly post about my every day life and my daughter, the cute things she does and what we do during the day together so i don't see how anyone can acuse that of copy and pasting. it's my life i talk about.

Hey, I remember that post from Michele21 as well, and when I read this post and went and saw your sending kids to a stranger post I must admit the first thing I thought of was that post from michele21 as I had responded to her post awhile back. NEEDLESS to say, the posts are about a similar thing but very different! Not anywhere near a copy and paste, or stolen idea. Just two different stories that have one thing that was similar (the girl basically needing to be babysat). So you didnt do anything wrong, and with 88k people here, of course some posts will be similar, I wouldnt sweat it. I didnt see the comment the person left you about copying, so hopefully it was removed. good luck and ignore posts like that, people just like to stir the pot!

That's a tough accusation. You should have seen for yourself the post he is talking about. I don't know but I guess I'll believe you because you brought it up here. I wonder about the one who accused you. I don't know but he should have sent you a link so that he will prove his accusations right.

i did ask him for a link and he never replied. someone told me there was a similar discussion but it was a completely different situation and different question. the only simularity was a kid comming over to your house that you didn't know. i read that one and it was completely different then what had happened to me. but i write about my own life and what i do all day. so i'm sure i'm not the only person that does that and that the same thing can happend to two different people i'm sure. although in this case it wasn't even the same thing. the person must not of read the two posts correctly. anyway mylot realized they were wrong and i was wrongly acused and they fixed the problem.

You dont have to worry of someone accusing .You are sure you are true.He should have told it by mistake.
Many will be thinking in the same way.Someone in mylot may also had think your way.This may have made him accuse you.
So there is no reason for you to worry about it my friend.Wish you good luck with mylot.

I would recommend that you did not worry about this. If you did not do what this person said simply write under his comment that you did not and let it go. There are people on here that just love to cause trouble. Some just can be possitive about anything. This is an opinion site and that is all it is their opinion and you know the truth. I guess you can say that I am a hard person because I just don't respond to negative b.s. People are going to say what they choose wheather you engage them or not so just let it go.

I can't believe someone thought you copied and pasted the discussion yesterday. I'mo not sure how they thought that either unless they seen a discussion that was something like yours and they thought you may have copied it from someone else. I have been accused of things also here at Mylot but I do not let it bother me because I know I am doing the right things here. They said I am trying to get more friends at Mylot from one of my discussions. I did want to try to get a referral or two for my other programs I am joined with but I never put a referral link in the discussion. I only put that the only way I could contact them to send them my referral link was if we became friends unless they wanted to give me thier email address. I wouldn't worry about what that person said. You know you didn't copy and paste and that is all that matters!

what a rude guy I'm sorry hon you had to be accused of this.Just chalk it up to ignorant people. Your own experience can't be copied and pasted so you have no worries.Some people get enjoyment out of ruining someone's day. Don't give it a minutes thought

I wouldn't worry about it. Many times I am about to start a discussion and notice that someone has already started one very close to what I was going to say. Some people out there should not be accusing you of things that aren't true. I did like your reply to them. It was very rude of them to say that.
