I returned to the history of Ratimov’s appearance on the forum (although some posts are no longer even in the archives). I also remember very well the appearance of this person on the forum. He did not come to the forum but burst into it. In his history, there were many reports on the removal of spam from the Russian section, after which Merit Source awarded him many merits, which caused the first dissatisfaction among users. Even then, Ratimov was famous for his hot character and possessing obscene language, although not as rude as we see today.
This is probably a psychological problem for Ratimov, to prove to everyone that he can do more and wants to be the first. We all saw his passion for leadership.
And when he has already achieved his goal, his apogee, they begin to accuse him of improper behavior on the forum (I will combine everything). How should this person feel in such a situation? Some people say about him that he is passionate about creating content. But after almost everyone turned their backs on him, does he need this? After he showed all his “FI” disrespect, he proved once again that he could not control his emotions.
Affected ego, bruised ego, wounded vanity—all this is screaming inside him today. He was offended by everyone—the entire forum—after the “work” that he thought he had done.
Now I think everything is logical. He behaves in such a way as to appear impudent, without respect for anyone, not even those who supported him, because behavior is difficult to explain from a man’s perspective.
For some weak people, aggression is a good defense. We don’t see him offline; maybe he’s crying into his pillow.
As a result, and as a Russian speaker, I do not see any difference in the writing style that Ratimov previously had. Now, insolence and rudeness are a defense, a mask.
Sometimes you believe the proverb: “The higher you fly, the more painful it is to fall.”

There has certainly been a change in his approach to giving sMerit. He spent 200 merits in just 32 seconds, on some very old (iconic) posts, and accounts that have not been active in any discussion for a long time. You can't blame him, it's satoshi, laszlo, etc... but I'm still under the impression that this is not what is expected from a merit source.
Дать мерит Cатоши - это, своего рода, дань уважения. Тем более, объективно говоря, все его посты представляют ценность, не имеет смысла кидать забаненым, а Сатоши просто в спящем режиме. Даже где-то читал рекомендацию, что если вам некуда деть смериты, отправьте их на посты Сатоши.
If it was a new account, why would it waste merit?
