I think I read English better than you do. in his message, he just said that he did not intend to steal the work, and only forgot to delete it from the final version. As far as I know, using the work posted in the public domain is not theft. The fact that he didn't remove it from his final work is really bad, but that doesn't give you the right to call him a thief. moreover, according to him, he was not going to turn it on, apologized, and wanted to resolve everything peacefully. Which our friend did not want, judging by the correspondence. This is about stealing a job. you can remember it to him as much as you want, but if you can't resolve conflicts peacefully, then don't cry about the consequences later.
However, you haven't even read what I've written if you think I support stealing mods. It wasn't even about the theft itself, but about ignoring apologies, refusing a peaceful solution to the issue, and how you brought a person to anger with this. people are different, this man turned out to be short-tempered. ignoring the regrets led to him getting angry and writing something that was already difficult to ignore. and in this case, I can understand it. I wouldn't do that, but I can understand what he did.
And now about the delusional view of things. How dare you condemn my vision if you yourself are not capable of even a simple verification of information? They threw you a bone, and you're ready to lick those who gave it away. it was worth giving someone a reason, even if absolutely delusional, which does not stand up to any criticism, to attack the author, and you are already in the forefront. Are you calling my position nonsense? after 2 years, without any evidence, you accuse the author of who knows what? If you can't prove your lie in any way, then get out of here. And you are not capable, because you just wrote the first nonsense that came to your mind, without even bothering to make sure that it could not be verified in the same ways that you yourself once proved his guilt.
