The Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni thread

My 2 cents.

Just fwiw, I'm an Arlington mom. I do not work with or know anyone on Lively's team. I don't know what you're talking about re Google keywords and I certainly don't run searches like that. I'm frankly so tired of the insults and stupid paranoid conspiracy theories that Baldoni people throw at me/us. Like, we're bots, PR reps, work with Lively's team, etc. I discovered, discussed, and reported a plagiarized Reddit comment. Jeff deleted it, and I assume it was correct to report it.

And if the tables were turned here, and it was someone on Lively's team who had plagiarized Reddit, we wouldn't hear the end of it lol. I thought you guys liked internet sleuths! Hot tip: Don't steal other people's comments and then post them here as your own.

Wow, you are shameless in your excuses. For awhile you tried the feminism slant. As if someone criticizing BL was a woman hater, even though the thread seems to have plenty of women lawyers on it who are certainly not anti woman. Now you claim you’re concerned about a random reddit user being ‘plagiarized’ bc of one single cross post. Wow. You’re so caring.

Funny, I don’t see you on other threads being offended for similar issues. Just. This. One.

Let’s move on, and please stop desperately trying to shut down our conversation.

Pp. Something like this is happening, yes. And when anyone notices this fervor and comments, she then goes into overdrive, projecting and accusing others of being ‘pro Baldoni’ or ‘Baldoners’.

Wtf? I responded to the comment, thinking it was a real comment, and it wasn't. And now you're telling it was nbd. There are probably more plagiarized reddit comments in the thread. Why would someone just do that one single time? It doesn't make sense.

I'm not trying to shut down the conversation, but the fact that you're criticizing me, when what I did was report something bad that someone else did, is bananas. Honestly, you guys are the worst. Somebody on Team Baldoni screwed up and yet I'm the one that's the jerk. A++ no notes.

What doesn’t make sense is you constantly twisting facts into a pretzel, trying to make something out of nothing to distract attention from the legal cases. Of course your argument a few weeks back was that we weren’t discussing the cases *enough*, but now you’re offended that someone made a comment on the case that was a cross post from Reddit (and no, that’s not necessarily ‘plagiarism’ as much as you want to try to make it into a big deal, and no, there isn’t any evidence that this is a major issue and happening regularly).

These efforts are desperate and obvious. You can obfuscate all you want when you run to Jeff, and he certainly doesn’t have time to sort through all the posts to figure out what’s what, but those of us following regularly can identify the patterns. And no, I’m not team Baldoni. I’m merely interested in the legal cases, like many people are on that thread.

Cut it out.

Cut it out.

I responded (2x!) to a post that I thought was real and posted in good faith, and it totally was not. It was copied and pasted from Reddit, and it answered a question different from the comment posed in the question that preceded it. Someone else responded to this post, too! It wasted my time. How is this different than responding to a bot? People should not be doing this.

If the tables were turned and a Lively defender was posting comments from Reddit without attribution, Team Baldoni would be posting tirades about me being a paid Lively shill or bot who should be banned forever from the thread, the person who found the post would be lauded as an internet sleuth, and other Baldoni fans in the thread would be actively searching for other comments in the thread that had been reposted and plagiarized from Reddit.

I note that nobody has come forward to take responsibility and say that they are the person who improperly reposted this comment, or to say that they only did it one time. Nobody has even looked for other cross posted comments!

Stop blaming me for somebody else’s mistake. It is reasonable of me to report someone’s reposted of a Reddit comment that I wasted time responding to. Unless someone in our current thread is a Canadian who hates Taylor Swift, someone reposted the Reddit comment of another person without attribution, which is plagiarism and wrong as even my child knows.

PS: I am not trying to distract from the legal cases. That’s the only part of the thread I’m interested in. Right now people are posting Taylor Swift lyrics and speculation that is so unbased in reality that it veers into fan fiction, so enjoy that.

Also, isn’t this basically what this legal case is about? Someone spreading pro-Baldoni points of view by amplifying or reposting them across platforms? Why are you assuming this only happened one time when nobody has come forward to say they did this and only did it once (and explain why they did it), and nobody has even looked for other cross posts?

Pp. Look, not accurate. Just stop. You are way too invested. No one cares that you responded to a potential cross post from Reddit. You are trying to make a big deal out of nothing, as always, in your shameless and obvious quest to get the thread shut down bc it criticizes Blake lively.

And once again, you’re exaggerating about the TS issue. One post mentioned her song lyrics ‘bad blood’. Ok, so??? This is on point because it’s obvious she’s upset about being dragged into this legal case. So no, it’s not fan fiction as you claim. It’s people having a normal discussion that for some reason you think you should be able to shut down.

No, that isn’t all the legal case is about, and you know it.

People are allowed to read other posts. It might have been their post on Reddit and they didn’t want to rewrite it. It might have been someone else’s post that summed up the position and so they wanted to post it bc they liked it. Who knows? Who cares? No one is obligated to come back and identify themselves. Why do you think you can control everyone and everything?

You act like it was such a big deal that you responded to a single post. But who cares? You aren’t obligated to be on that thread or respond to any posts, yet you do with paragraph after paragraph of defensive twisting of facts.

And then you run to Jeff to stir up trouble. I seriously hope Jeff doesn’t continue to fall for your garbage.
