Hello!

I am the Cassie Whitt in question here. It looks like the offending blog entry belonged to Colin King, and I'd like to politely ask that my name be removed from this comment or hat it be deleted now that the issue has been resolved (as noted below).

Unfortunately, this vampire blog was a group assignment from a college English class (hence the 284, which was its level number), and we were unaware that a partner we had been assigned at random had plagiarized. Now graduates, we also don't have the login for the blog anymore, so deleting it altogether is proving difficult.

Both my friend Carolyn Menyes and I are now professional journalists, and--to severely understate it--it does not bode well to have a thread about plagiarism listed among our search results. Haha!

Thank you!
Cassie
