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...

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.

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.
