I think it's more that she's been doing this for a long time, is fundamentally lazy (from what I've heard you can see that the second you start reading one of her books) and no one mentioned it before...so why should it be wrong now? That and the fact she's uplifting the Cheyenne Nation by referring to its members as "Indians." Certainly the person I want calling the shots about what constitutes "legitimate" research. :) In any case, Angelique, it's a really interesting idea, and you're certainly not full of donkey feces! A.W. Sure, if Shadow Bear and Shiona were real people who had said those things instead of being characters in a book that Edwards herself wrote. I think it’s more that she’s been doing this for a long time, is fundamentally lazy (from what I’ve heard you can see that the second you start reading one of her books) and no one mentioned it before…so why should it be wrong now? That and the fact she’s uplifting the Cheyenne Nation by referring to its members as “Indians.” Certainly the person I want calling the shots about what constitutes “legitimate” research. :)

In any case, Angelique, it’s a really interesting idea, and you’re certainly not full of donkey feces!

I've figured it out, AW! The plagiarizing authoress believes that simply because she used the lifted passages as QUOTES that she's completely innocent. That has to be it, right? It's an old trick college students still try to use to plagiarize and still get an 'A'. Of course, I could be full of donkey feces. Eureka! I’ve figured it out, AW!
