As you know, for an academic, allegations of plagiarism are
not something to treat as just a possible misunderstanding.

I've had a couple of students over the last 15+ years who
failed their courses solely because I or a colleague
spotted exactly that kind of mis-behaviour - it wouldn't be
credible for me to check for that if I didn't react to
similar accusations against me as being serious.

In this case, Jari and I have been accused of plagiarism:
"I see content from it has been incorporated" is a quote
from [1], referring to a -00 draft published by the author
of [1] on July 8th 2019. [2]

Our recent draft [3] is substantially the merge of drafts
first pubslished in April 2019 [4,5], the latest versions
of which (pre-merge) were dated July 6th 2019 and July 9th
2019.

I have requested three times that that accusation be
withdrawn or justified. That request has not been
acknowledged nor answered, but was met by additional
irrelevant and incorrect pejoratives.

No text has been quoted to demonstrate any issue, never
mind such a serious issue as plagiarism.

I hope it is clear that this accusation is both serious
and unfounded and therefore needs to be withdrawn.

It may be the case that the someone didn't understand
that they made a serious accusation. If so, I hope this
mail should have fully explained that.
