OK.
You posted an article and two of our top members have commented and provided constructive criticism. You have, in turn attacked them and accused them of being fake accounts.
Your article has many, many votes from brand new accounts whose only activity is to create an account and vote on your article.
I will no open up the voting so you can see who has voted, and I will not block the view of your posted material from other members.
Let it go. Your article is up, you have received feedback that should be taken as constructive, and so the best course of action is to continue to improve your article and respond to the comments on the article's technical merits.
I will look into any downvoting that has occurred, but all members have the right to vote on the technical merit of content. If I see patterns of voting that suggest a member is systematically and baselessly downvoting, then I'll talk to them.
However, do not bring your personal grievances here.

Chris,
That account has been made deactivated, really don't understand why, his article was good, what he said were also right, i saw the answers, he comments were purposefuly devoted, while the other answers appeared to not voted at all.
Because so much of conversation was happening, i checked with creating another account and try to vote, there is IP Tracker already in place, it says "Someone at your adrress has already voted" how can it happen,
The code project has provision for the people to create the account and vote, even when i felt his article intersting i created the account and voted, as it didn't allowed directly, you would have made some changes to this application so that ppl. with so much of points and member of code project community only can vote.
This creates problems too, because even i have been using code project for several year, only ppl. who want to download, or rate or publish an article willing to create account, many ppl. even inside code project will not vote for long time, you can't blame those as spam.
Also some ppl. who were jealous of him, can devote through their friends, because what has been seen is his comments were devote while other comments or answers have same rating.
If your code project has made his account deactive, it's really heartbreaking and with no reasons, anyone get provoked when you call them you are dishonest, and also these articles were read by many and they have different opinion on them, it's like throwing water on somebody's work, we are seeing him answering 25-30 questions on daily basis, which is good sign, i saw he is rated as the expert answerer for last 24 hours list from code project and he is in 3rd place.
Anyone would have replied like that if someone comments without head and tail on them and they think it could create serious impact on audience.....
You are only guy who can bring him back, don't nail him on nonsense grounds, it would he helpful for everyone.
Act upon this...

I doubt Chris was the one who deactivated the account.

Really?
I know I'm going to come across as the big bad ogre here, seemingly picking on him, but I did offer him advice on what youhe could do to improve the article. Sadly, rather than listening and taking it on board, a vitriolic troll war took place. There was also a perception that accounts were created by the author merely to upvote the article - whenever so many accounts are created in such a short space of time, people deem it to be suspicious as we have seen this happen on so many other occassions.
An interesting thing was people's insistence that they were learning a lot, some even claiming the code was really helpful - yet there was very little code beyond a small snippet, and a picture of the K Smart framework that people mysteriously divined the purpose of, even though it was an abstract diagram with no context. I appreciate that a lot of work was put into the article, but the author failed to understand that posting an article is just the first step - if people comment that they think there's a problem with the article and detail what they think those problems are, the wise author listens and tries to improve the article. Even a note against a comment stating that you understand the other persons point of view, and you are sticking with your guns for points X, Y and Z is a valid approach.
The line in your post that brings a wry smile to my face is that people downvoted because they were jealous. By the great prophet Zarquon, if I were to downvote because of jealousy, I'd target Sacha Barber, Marc Clifton, Nish, Chris M, Josh Smith, Karl Shifflett and so on, rather than voting them 5 for excellent articles. A good article is a joy to read, and I had hoped that this article would turn out to be a treatise on how to do performance right in WPF as there is no one place detailing best practices and the performance gotchas (which is why I commented that there was nothing on Freezables, virtualization and the like). Sadly, it looks like this article is not going to get that improvement so I will wait for someone else to write it.

Not really. To me you come across as someone with more benevolence than most nonsaints, actually more than a lot of people deserve.

Yeah, you did... I was the first one into the fray on this one, and I've been trying to (mostly) keep out of it since referring him to the Spam forum, other than countering his downvotes of your (overly kind, in my opinion) replies to his attacks. Why? I knew if I kept replying to him, I was going to say things that I'd rather hot have showing up next to my name on Google searches

That's exactly what drew me to it in the first place... I'm always looking for ways to squeeze a few extra cycles out of my WPF clients, but after reading his entire article, the only impression I got was of an author who had just taught himself WPF and paraphrased from whatever intro textbooks he could find so he'd have something to link to in his resume/CV.
I would have just stayed silent after casting my vote (Hell, I didn't even report him), except I saw all of the sock-puppet 5-votes and had a horrible vision of it sticking to the front page, showing up as one of the "best" WPF articles, and stealing the spotlight and recognition from the people on this site that really deserve it (Not me - I haven't published anything worthwhile... yet)...
At least he's gone... And the way he's digging his own grave, his sock puppets will probably join him before long.

If you're an ogre, then what am I? Wait! Don't answer that. 
In reality, you were as nice as one could have been to him and yet he took this community for granted with his sock puppet accounts and childish attitude.

-- See his Tip/Trick, which say Open file using FileStream with so and so params, All schools or colleges who teach basic C#, will teach this, he never thought how someone voted 4 for that, it seems this article who have voted to lacks if he can ge that votes, he is a lead, might be his team members have vote for better appraisal, otherwise ppl. will think to vote -1,-2.... not even 0 worth.
Then our Rajesh Subramanian, the last hero,,,, he has not wrote one article also, all personal chat conversation, though one can say among 1000 comments, 1 be technical....
These are our heros commenting, the kishhr would was shouting who devoted me, who why...
he would have seen this as a family photo...
None of your comments answers:
1) somone vote or download or to publish, logsin, they can login any time, how did you arrived at that conclusion, my personally tested, it says "Someone already at your address voted", if Chris has written this, why no comments on him on this one...
2) There are clearly his Q & A, Articles devoted, while other comments, not voted at all, who did this, no comments on this, still he remained as topper in expert comments.
3) What the hell in this earth you felt, his stuffs are manipulating, while yours itself is crappy, no answers on this....
4) Why his account disabled, though he is rated on top experts, which was asset to open source community, no comments...
5) There are hell of articles here, which is baseless and have 100's of votes in a week or two why your eyes are not on that, this have relatively less votes..........
6) What fund or benifits you recieved personally from someone to defame someone, which is most important.... no comments...
7) Are you enabling his account...... no comments.
Simply some crapshit statement doesn't statisfies the audience
Might be you are all friends, taken money or some personal benifit to bring him down and do this, The person who offered you personal benfit is missing though......

So you're asking if he'll remove all the rounded corners, turn the graphics into simple geometric shapes, put all of the links in CAPITAL LETTERS, and make every box on the front page a different color?
That would have been a great April Fools prank

Chris - Metro is a fluid design concept, full of jargony goodness. Just tell people that what you are doing is Metro.

My username has the ∴ (∴) character in it - and it's now being rendered with huge top and bottom padding.
I've seen this before, in Expression Web 3, but only in the design mode. Firefox (and even IE) both render the character correctly. Hopefully, this is just a passing phase as it does make my posts stick out even more than an extrovert would find appropriate.
NEVER MIND - IT'S THE NEW UPDATE (13.0.1) to FIREFOX THAT'S SCREWED UP!
I can't wait to see what other fun they included.
