However, there was a big brouhaha some months ago about you plagiarizing stuff, and there was evidence presented if I remember correctly--but I didn't pay it much attention at the time, because it was someone else's investigation and the translation aspect of it diverted my attention away from it.
That's exactly what the big buzz is. But the big hype does not add to the righteousness of those who organized it. If airfinex really found some kind of plagiarism on me, then I would go to the place where okapoka124 or the recently rehabilitated Mpamaegbu is now sitting. But that did not happen. Because there was no plagiarism. There is a copy-paste with links at the end of each article. There are google translations from Russian to English with links at the end. I do not refuse this. But since when did we start calling copy-paste with links plagiarism? It is only in the fantasy of nullius, airfinex and the like that is considered plagiarism. But let them think so as much as they like, I am not obliged to correspond to their subjective convictions. The forum requires me to confirm any copy-paste with a link. There is no regulation where this link should be, at the beginning or at the end. But it has to be. I fully complied with these requirements and therefore they did not give me any ban.
As for their line of accusation. At first, they tried to accuse me of the fact that if I copy something, then the links to the source should be at the beginning, not at the end. It's funny where this is indicated, other than their imagination?
Then they clung to the word I at the beginning of my sentence.
In this article I would like to touch upon

I cannot think of how one could show the "intent of passing work off as one's own" any more than an opening sentence like this.
But I easily explained it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-source-plagiarist-5297144
The essence of this explanation is that if the Russian original contained the word I, then the Google translator would translate it like this: In this article, I would like to touch upon such, and if this word was not there initially, then like this: In this article I would like to touch upon such. Everyone can check it.
In general, if you find a native English speaker who also knows Russian, let him explain to you how the Russian phrase is different: Xoтeлocь бы в этoй cтaтьe зaтpoнyть.... and the phrase: Я xoтeл бы в этoй cтaтьe зaтpoнyть.. Then you will understand what I mean.
Anyone who knows English and Russian well can easily check that the word I was not in the original Russian and it was generated by my auto-translator, since I cannot write in English. But no one wanted to take this into account, since this is an inconvenient argument.
Then came the accusations that I use a google translator to write posts. Lol. What does this have to do with plagiarism? Yes, at least half of the forum does not know English and translates with the help of automated tools and nobody cares about that. But if I use it, then this is some kind of malicious violation.
And there is a lot of such nonsense, which has nothing to do with the accusation of plagiarism. Anything is entwined, the hype goes, but there is no sense. Ratimov is not banned. Yes, because there is nothing, I follow all the rules of the forum regarding the design of links to the source. And if someone does not like my Google translation, then there is a report button for this, and there the moderator will figure it out. If the post is not readable at all, it will delete it.
But all this has nothing to do with plagiarism. There are just a lot of empty words and the goal is to create as much resonance as possible. You see, you also noticed this hype, and what the OP is based on, few people delve into. Well, it is written plagiarist and there are more than 100 answers in the topic? Well, it means, most likely, a plagiarist.
