Get off of your high horses and take some responsibility for being dishonest. See, this is where growing up spoiled and self-righteous literally (whoops) leads to an inability to handle rough times and real life ahead. Good luck with all that.

Yes, after all, the intense media spotlight currently focused upon Ms. Ilyinsky is too much for anyone to effectively bear. I guess she better literally start looking for work at some supermarket or construction site now that Ivygate and Steve Melendez are on the case. “The saddest part for me about this accusation and its aftermath is that I know Tory to be honest and hardworking and I fear that this incident may stifle her creative spirit and love for the written word.”

I am Tory's sister and I completely agree with the above blog. The one point I will concede is that Tory's article may not be novel or inspired, but that certainly doesn't make it palagrism. So what you're basically saying is that an author can't write about an idea or topic already broached at some point in the history of literature lest she be accused of "ganking". Yikes, that doesn't leave too many topics left in the world, amazing we even have newspapers and magazines. Plus, I thought Tory did a great job applying the idea to her world - her campus, her friends and herself - and that IS a novel perspective. I googled the two quotes Tory used in an effort to see how many times they came up (as did the above blogger) and I too had to stop counting.

You cut and pasted her article together to create similarities where they didn't exist. If you ever want to be considered an actual source, you better start presenting the facts truthfully, and stop relying on google and the facebook to do your investigative work. Good thing Victoria neither plagerized nor copyied from the Slate article- the same two literary references to the word "literally" are EVERYWHERE on the internet, it is almost impossible NOT to find those two quotes when doing any research on the word. Please, find something better to do with your time than ripping apart a talented writer who's column is arguably the most interesting the Crimson has to offer. Wow, this reporting is so misleading.
