There is a user here on wa who messaged me last week accussing me of copying her content. She is relatively new here and was unaware that I wrote that particular piece of content almost two years ago.
As a result her accusation I kindly and politely informed her that this was my third attempt at a website and the rough date of when I had written the content (about 18 months prior)
I should also note that another member, a few weeks prior to this incident, had warned me about her wierd and almost neortic behaviour.
Anyway, since then she messaged me telling me that I am not allowed to write my next post on mustard oil becuse she has just written a post on that... are you serious??
First of all... I have no idea what your site even looks like. Second, I never copied your content. Third, I have 132 posts lined up for editing and sceduling and fourth, I have so many ideas for content that there just isnt enough hours in the day to get them all written up.
I decided that the only thing to do is block her. But quite frankly I am concerned that she wont let this drop. I know I havent done what she is accusing me of so hopefully I have nothing to worry about??
If you have any suggestions on further precautions I should take, I would love to hear them. Some people do what is called deflection - where they accuse other of doing things they are doing. Is there a way I can check to make sure she isn't copying my site?
If you are reading this *asha911 you should knwo that copywrite effects both sites involved. I am aware of this so I do not do it. I dont want all my hard work to be wasted.
Kyle has says he will investigate if we cant sort between ourselves? I have already tried this but what I said didnt work.

Thanks!
UPDATE:
I have since found her site and it looks like she has not plagariesed any of my content, a relief. I have booked marked and will be keeping a close eye on this.
If you are ever in a similar situation, you can use copyscape to check the articles.
Part of me just thinks she needs to do some more research on copyright laws so she doent wrongly accuse people in the future. But you cant tell others what to do, they will do their own thing.
Thank you for your support everybody. It is reasuring to know that you are all here for me!
UPDATE JULY 20, 2020
Even though I have blocked this user, she was able to see and respond to a comment I left in the 'Need website comments' thred.
I feel threatened and intimidated by the message she left me. I do not feel it is fair for other members to behave like this. If you agree, you can report her too if you wish.

I have reported it to kyle and will keep you posted about the progess.
