Replying here to keep the other topic clean.
Why? I shouldn't have to treat Bitcointalk like a court system where wording is important.
Quite frankly, I am patently uninterested in the Ratimov plagiarism claims, but here this is like burning the Library of Alexandria.
I have a proposal for NotATether. As I already have a certain collection of these and similar services prepared for one website, I can start a new thread with a structure and design not related to Ratimov's previous work. I need two or three days to put it together and check its relevance, and in a longer period I will deal with such topics, so there should not be any complications regarding the update.
Then what would be the difference between that and just chucking it on my website?
There is only so much variation you can make from a header, image, and list arranged like so. You cannot even copyright page design anyway, that's why plagiarism only applies to content.
The way I see things is, this is a topic with a high Google Search result. People looking for cards shouldn't have to be inconvenienced from deleted information because of situations like this.
So as you can see, I was quite upset when he deleted that topic, and I'm pretty sure there are other erased threads of his of similar importance to others. I however will not be touching on those as they are not particularly interesting to me, although anyone with Ninjastic & an online HTML to BBcode tool can easily restore it (with attribution, to avoid poking the bees' nest).
