It's one thing to see your translations copied somewhere else, and another thing to see your work systematically ridiculed on another forum. I can understand that
katbeidar got tired to see people say that her translations were not good, biased, and manipulated to make Tatu look bad. If her translations were *that* bad, why were people copying them in the first place?
And if someone does not agree with a translation, the best approach is to write another complete version, instead of pointing out line by line the "misinterpretations" in someone else's work and appear like a "teacher" correcting a "child".
And of course that person from another Russian site copying Tatysite's articles without giving proper credit was probably the final straw.
