A bet was obviously proposed here, and I think the matter should be put to rest for once and for all--though I'm just a dispassionate 3rd party here; if I were Ratimov, however, I'd probably want to clear my name so that this accusation doesn't keep popping up. I'm curious to see what the outcome is, if any.

This is not the point at all. Why would I try to live up to my name? Before whom? Before the one who cannot provide anything but his own words?

You need to clear your name from some kind of attacks if the accusing party provides concrete evidence. And just hitting the keyboard, spreading slander, no special mind is needed.

He drove himself into a dead end by saying something without thinking. And then, when they decided to call him to account, he quickly began to translate the topic to something else, in this case, to search for some kind of plagiarism. Although his speech was not about plagiarism, but about the fact that I translated all my 400 themes from the original of other people.

A person is determined not by how much he chatters, but how much he is ready to argue this chatter. Obviously, this keyboard fighter can only chat. My bid was offered to see how he responded to my offer. He replied (veiled) that he could not prove what he said. I don't see any sense in wasting more time on this nonsense.
