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.

Agreed, but since SAK cannot delete Questions, they must have been voted off.

Let's go a little deeper:

BTW, the last question I listed is the one you asked about[^] a while back. Hmmm, seems like somebody did not care much for your answer[^] to that (but that's a completely different thing).

That's the user profile of the one who plagiarized, not the original article.

The messages have been 'removed' and are interestingly not listed when you go to the members Latest Messages[^], but even though you cannot see the messages, the Permalinks reveal the Subject line: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4757346/XX-XXXXXXXXXX-inter-cast-love-marriage-problem-100.aspx[^]

Interesting - wonder how he survived the cull?

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

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.
