Red face really, this is getting ridiculous...

okay maybe this vander ark guy is guilty. but jk is making this a bigger deal than it really is. if jk sees this guy as a threat she needs to realize her position. she could stop working right now and STILL carry her money over to the next generation...and personally, i wouldn't buy this man's book anyway, so this isn't about the book being a threat to her career, this is about her and the fact that her money is going to her head. she needs to relax-the guy doesn't seem like some creep looking for a quick buck-he's one, hardcore fan who made a mistake. yes, she should take him to court, and yes he may be guilty of plagiarism, but for this much pressure to be applied to one man, a FAN, and for her to make the comments she made about him and her fans in general, it just arrogant and unneccessary. this could have been handled much smoother, and much quieter. i realize she is upset but she can not forget where she came from and who brought her to the top (her fans), because that is CLEARLY what is happening. people are going to be reading her books for years to come. one extreme fan putting together a book (that many won't even buy because the information is free on the net anyway) won't really damage her career all that much. jk was very catty and extravagant in her handling of this situation. her money has made her a different person, and her appreciation of where it came from is dwindling.
