It *is* nasty, but so was her behaviour: She apologized but then started
again plagiarizing stuff, so she kind of wasted a second chance -- it is
not that we didn't give her one. Many people were disappointed and reacted
accordingly when they learnt that Brittany neglected her promise. Also, she
was *very* reluctant in removing the plagiates from her blog pages. So the
rather harsh reactions of some ZBB members are kind of justified IMO.
