    @georgeboya - It took a little bit of work and additional research to put this together, but I feel passionate enough about art and my fellow artists that I think it is well worth the effort! We have to counter the negative and destructive influences and the ongoing intimidation of artists by those who have no clue about art and issues concerning art, with some positive energy.

    You did a very good recearch indeed:) I am pretty sure that this person's intensions are not to show that some artists are plagiarists but to attack and scare people. This is unacceptable and i will keep an eye too. Artists are the most vital part of the @steemit community. The visitors of the platform, and maybe future users, do not care about the steem price or what is Ned doing or who is powering down. They see the art, the articles etc.., if you discourage the artists you kill the community. It is allready bad for new artists, posting without earning even a single dollar, lets not see things getting worse with such situations..

    yes, you are right on! Many of us have migrated away from Facebook because of the annoying "nipple-police" and now we encounter a similar kind of anal-retentive activity here on Steemit?

    Yes this is quite the same. And the nipple police was a kind of a loop that allowed people with bad intentions to ruin an artists profile. It had nothing to do with nudity, same here has nothing to do with plagiarism.

    @georgeboya - I just had a look at a recent nTopaz post about this subject. Jeez, she (Jaguar) doesn't give up, always has to argue. Here is my reply that is hung onto a tread of yours:

      Yes i saw many of them, she talks a lot but the constant change of tone and content gives me more the idea that it is a group of person. What they are doing is illegal in so many ways, i still cannot uderstand how sth like this could exist at @steemit community. What they are doing contains blackmail, bulling, power abuse, it is crazy.

      Moreover it is a huge violation of trust between the curators and the artists. How can i maintain relationships with them and trust them if i know that they hire this account to bully other artists and without concrete evidence but just a vague theory and just intentions about sth that does not exist.

      Plagiarm, copyrights and stuff should be checked if an artist takes someone elses artwork and present it as his own. Just like that! And red also about behaviours? non ethiclal? That a girl presenting a sad story about her dog is manipulation. For fucks sake, i can use my brain for that i dont need jaguar to point me what is ethical and what is not.

      Anyway i still believe this whole situation is sick and illegal and i still dont understand why @ntopaz does not doing sth about it...

          I saw it... what a shock? Who could have imagined that the plagiarist-hunter is a plagiarist herself:) Thank you for this extensive research @thermoplastic, you are a man of facts, i hope this would not go unnoticed. All i am reading since there was some name dropping came out is some very late responces about people with good intentions. But the means almost never justify the ends! History and contemporary events are full of examples.
