Hmm, we lost another active poster on the forum. Undecided

I feel just the same way at Ratimov, that we've may have lost permanently just another active Hero Member and forum contributor. I have been watching fron the sideline as to how the case was being handled and it broke my heart that, it turned out on a permanent ban over a 2years elusive mistake as he claims. In many ways it might be it as he stated in his defence, being that, the thread never continued though, it doesn't completely erased the fact that, a forum rule was faulted once, perhaps there are more but a continued ignorance of the rule would have been the better bone of contentment.

I recall that not quite long ago, he celebrated his Hero Membership, how long it took and some persons really did took a liking to him, I do too and the knowledge that, he might not be back is really something to take in.

Mpamaegbu behaved strangely. He began to write explanations here but did not find the time to quickly correct the situation with this problematic post, at least delete it if the authorship is not clear. Enough time has been given. At least 1 user thought to fix the situation with their plagiarism and added a link.

Perhaps he behaved in some unlikely way and maybe not the best way to have contained the situation but, if I were to take a position in his shoes and think as he might have taught, I feel, he was waiting on someone to have suggested that for a solution to him. Perhaps, he didn't want to act too smart and the the edited post raises another pointy fingers at him or something, I really don't know but I'm sure his got his reasons which might be wrong or right.

The post in question seems to be referencing the copied text as "smuggled out snippet below" so arguably Mpamaegbu was not trying to claim authorship of that text.

[...] many are likely to conclude with the smuggled out snippet below [...] May be you will agree ir disagree with the positions below.

It's a good thing to have noted this as, my relations with this user as someone in the forum and have sent quite a few pm's doesn't portray him to be someone that would want to steal someone else's glory. Its just sad that this slipped him under whatevercircumstancesat the time, that he had this skeleton in the closet and never knew but, it took his new campaign Best_Change to dig it up.

So sorry Hero Member Mpamaegbu, we do hope you get to appeal, truthfully stating your the scenario and that the forum listen. Until then, your wished well!
