So here we have the Russian moderator essentially vouching for Ratimov, saying he did in fact cite his sources--or at least that's what it looks like to me.
I'd be interested to hear from others on this. I don't know if it's a witch hunt or not.
I did not say that there are no sources, they are for "formality"
, at the very bottom.
I'd already posted in this thread (see above) and was just contacted by OP via PM regarding this post, which he feels is abusive:
Did not have time to happen the first day of spring, so already a seasonal exacerbation of mental illness? Repetition of "painful" experiences? Perhaps so far it is only in the early stages to urgently see a doctor, and not rape the forum?
And I'd say it's a little harsh, borderline trolling. On the other hand, this is bitcointalk and I've written posts that were much worse than that myself (though not lately). You've got to have a thick skin on this forum, especially when you create threads like this one.
I quoted your response to my post above because it shows that Ratimov
did in fact cite his sources and therefore he didn't plagiarize anything. The mods obviously felt the same way, and I think it's time to move on from this. I think you meant well, OP; you just happened to be wrong on this one.
