I am writing this topic as I strongly believe that Ratimov has no place in DT1 group. I made this opinion during years and, as time went by, his actions only strengthened my thoughts. I will present below my arguments for this statement and I will try to be as objective as possible. Please bear with me, as this will be a long reading.
Ah, the post is too long. I'm too lazy to read it. But perhaps from the title and tags I read from the OP and Ratimov, it is most likely that this thread was created to question someone's reputation. But I don't care about that, because neg tags don't affect famous members.
If it's a matter of plagiarism, just report it, let the moderator assess whether the plagiarism is a violation or is excusable. I want to ask, what does the plagiarism ban actually mean here? Is it to avoid copyright claims or because plagiarism is prohibited for any purpose?
Every idea or article has a meaning and purpose behind it, so OP definitely has a goal by creating this thread. in the end this is just drama and nonsense not much different from shitposting.
