Updates to site

Out of context

Now you guys are completely taken my comments out of context, and are being completely rude. No I did not mean I was still going to use their information word for word - so please don't tell me what I was trying to say. It seems you all want to get mad and jump and yell and "correct" me. Thats fine - I don't need to try to continue to explain myself. I feel that I have adequately addressed your needs and and working on a solution at the moment. No it won't magically appear different today. And no I will not take the site down. I have unlinked the home page to the ingredients pages and product pages- but I'm sure you guys can find a way to get to the pages still.

I have revised my profile format - and published it at the below address. I believe with the current format I will be using that NO COPYRIGHT infringement will be occuring.

In places that I need to get permission - I am actively reaching out to those companies - but things take time. So don't expect everything to be corrected today or tomorrow - although it will be an improvement - these things take time.

If you don't like me, or my site - I am sorry, I'm sorry I have offended you and I'm sorry that my responses have not been good enough for you. I am doing my best right now, and if thats not good enough - well I can't help it. I am going to continue creating my site - with all your comments and suggestions in mind, and really thats all I can do.

If you would like to see the upcoming new format you can click the link below. If not, thats ok too - but at least you can see I am adamantly working on it.

Thanks
Ruby

nothing

So I address you guys concerns, and take steps to fix them - but no one has any kind of comment now? Kind of surprising looking at the number of people that jumped on the bandwagon to criticize me and my site yesterday.

Thanks - you all that responded have been so incredibly helpful!

Jewel, exactly what is it you are looking for? You stole images, you plagiarized our favorite suppliers websites, whats to stop you from stealing from us? This forum is all about the give and take. You have taken and taken again. Now you want "kind comments" because you were strong armed into cleaning up your site? Dream on.

no one has any kind of comment now?

Why bother ? You've made it clear in your posts that although you may now realize you won't get away with stealing other's work you still refuse to do what's right and do your own work instead of just mixing up, mashing around, and redoing someone else's work.

I don't need to try to continue to explain myself.

I don't feel the need to continue to talk to someone who listens as well as a brick wall and is completely unapologetic about stealing someone else's work and claiming it as their own.

and no I will not take the site down.

'Nuff said - unlinked or not, it's still there, it's still someone elses work until you have it ALL CHANGED, it should come down until that time. If you can't realize that or refuse to do what's right, what more is there to say to you.

haha

Yeah Deda, except you forget - you were one of the ones that told me in one of my earlier posts that the site "Looks good though!" - even after I fixed the links and you could see the information. How quick we jump on the bandwagon isn't it. You didn't even know, nor care before yesterday - or today, cause you didn't respond yesterday either. So I have no idea what you are talking about.

The fact is - you people are acting like I am out clubbing baby seals - or setting old ladies on fire. The people that responded yesterday were just trying to fight to win a battle that needed not be fought anyway. The fact remains that the site might have been questionable at best with some of its wording- but straight plagarized word for word like some of you might think- ummm no.

And 2 - I have said over and over and over and over and over again that the site IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION - and will be changed and re-written many times over, but that seems to make no difference. Its like handing you people a rough draft of a paper and you all taking it like its a "Ready for Print" copy, yelling to "STOP THE PRESSES. And thats just asinine.

Really, I'm not mad about anyone pointing out that I should change up my words, or formatting or whatever - but what ticks me off is the fact that you all can sit and b****, b****, b**** - but none of you listen worth a ****. I guarantee no one has listened to a word of my replies. Its like its an US vs. THEM community - with no compromise and absolutely no toleration what so ever - and its on a subject that I am not even trying to dispute or argue - I just took and complied with your request. But thats not good enough for you - so let me know what you think would be good enough (if you can think of anything)

Yes - I'm new to this whole plagarism thing - I have never had to worry about it, and I thought I was doing a fine job of creating original work based on FACTUAL information from these various vendors. Apparantly that isn't the case, and thats fine - I can admit when I am wrong, and I will adapt and move forward having learned a lesson.

But I feel none of your really cared about the "plagarism" - I feel your main objective was the reem me a new a$$ for your personal satisfaction. Because if any of you cared about the actual so called "plagarism" then you would care and take notice that in response to your requests and concerns it is being changed - and that I am doing my best to create an original web site - and in no way had any intentions of plagarising other peoples hard work.

And another thing - to prove my point that none of you really cared about my responses - take how many people have told me "I wouldn't use you as a supplier" "I would never use someone like you as a supplier" "It might be different if you weren't their future competition" etc. etc. etc. I don't know how many times I can say it but lets try again "I DONT WANT TO BE ANYONES VENDOR OR SUPPLIER, AND I AM NOT TRYING TO BE ANYONE'S COMPETITION WHO SUPPLIES OR SELLS THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS - NOT NOW AND NOT IN THE FUTURE!!!!" Hopefully that was clear.

I will continue to work at my website - I believe it will be a valuable resource for information about Natural and Organic product ingredients. If you don't like it - well I can't force a donkey to drink (or whatever that saying is).

Ummm, NO. I said your site looked good, but the links were unclickable.

I have CLOSELY watched this thread to make sure it wasn't a disaster in the making. You have insulted our intelligence, angered our members and proven that you have nothing to add to our forum except possibly a little sideshow of the "what's she going to say next" variety.

You have become a pariah. It doesn't make any difference what you do in the future. You have shown a callus disregard for the hard work and efforts of our colleagues. Continuing to stomp your feet and act like a 6-year-old (thanks CareBear) demanding you did nothing wrong doesn't change the facts.

You state again and again that you don't' want to be a supplier. Ok, we get that. You want to be a source of information. However, your information was obtained through theft. You can call it what ever you want, but to CUT AND PASTE someone else's work and pass it off as your own is THEFT.

As for being a "valuable resource" I think most of us here are perfectly willing and able to do our own research and learn what we need to know, not just quote what we've read.

Maybe it's time to hawk your wares somewhere else?

pardon me for having a life - you posted and expect all sorts of response immediately? solly dolly. when I have time to go over your site with a fine toothed comb I will happily oblige, but now I have other priorities today, and possibly tomorrow...

oh then you are not actually selling butters and oils? just materials ready for consumption by consumers?

ah, I give up.

night.

 

[I love soap!]

yes, we do have things to do not just sit around all day. One way or another you will be a supplier, vendor and competition. I just hope you change your policies before your business continues.

Yes, you are right, there will be no compromise or toleration from us. If you follow the rules we will be glad for and with you but when you brake the rules we will not just sit on our chairs and be ignorant.


Why would we want to order from someone who steals?

But my biggest wonder is why did you put there stuff on your site if you "didn't intend to use it" or did you think no one would realize what you are doing? Stealing is stealing.


It won't hurt us but it will hurt you. Your reputation will be ruin if you continue on your path of defiance.

And sadly i couldn't order or recommend someone else to order from you at this time.

All we are trying to do is help you, but you aren't listening. Have you read our replies???
