We all make mistakes. Sometimes I could be wrong, you could be wrong too. But, if you believe you are always right and unable to accept your mistakes, this is enough reason for your downfall. That was the case with Ratimov. He could have managed these things very well. He is not a scammer. All he had to do is, accept the mistake and promise to correct himself. Instead, he started digging his own grave.
It's not just one "mistake", it's the overall attitude towards the forum as a cow that has to be milked at any cost. Old toothless cow but it does sometimes kick these entitled farmers in the face.
