It is! I wrote him to explain that it's not a way, and after he done it again I reported him.
His messages has been removed from QA...

Remember that anyone here doing you a favor to even read your question!!! We not work for you!
IMHO, it was polite enough...

Thank you for the opinion

This is not a difficult one, having now seen his article aimed at SA.
But... looking at the previous messages from him : http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/MemberComments.aspx?mid=10566656[^] all of which are innocuous and inoffensive - but deleted - I can't help thinking there is a lot more to this than meets the eye.
Yes, the "article" is offensive, and was correctly removed, but looking at what I can see of the others I have to wonder what SA said to him that caused it? Unfortunately, all the questions are missing so I can't tell, but it would seem that he has been severely wound up here.

Well, it took 10 days before I stumbled across the posts, so maybe we don't visit that forum all that often...

I can believe that - but it's the "message automatically removed" with only two spammer votes on the poster that confused me!

I know! I also found it odd that I was the first to red-flag him as Spammer. It seems unlikely that all 12*6 (or is it 12*5) reports on the messages were for Abusive. Go figure.

I still see it as plagiarised. Copying some one's materiel and tagging it as Taken from..... can't be considered as our own work.
I reported that but left user for now as this is for the first time.

Yes. Otherwise I could just copy every article here, put "I copied this from..." and have the highest article count on the site!
Just saying where you got it from does not make it yours and give you a right to copy it, any more than stamping "I copied this from Adobe" on a job lot of blank DVD's would make it legal for me to sell pirate copies of Photoshop! I'm pretty sure Adobe's lawyers would want to get involved rather quickly if I tried...

You are right in your explanation of the fact that the "article" is not legitimate.
But, for the note, please understand that plagiarism and copyright or "intellectual property" violation are unrelated. If you consider them separately, it will make it clear.
Plagiarism is a sort of lie, when someone claims the false authorship of some material and conceal the real author. This is of course the crime against both the original author and the readers. After OP admits the truth, it seizes to be plagiarism, but it does not make the publication legitimate, by different reasons.
The cheater should be kicked off our site, that's for sure.

I smacked it for Plagiarism. I don't care where they copied it from. The only work he put into it was Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.

Oh come on!
There was CTRL+A as well, it was really hard...
