Don’t you see the typical response chronologically from the first one..

1. Deny it happened!!!..[and to some extent attack the accusers(s)]
2. When they continue to pester on now agree it happened and then
3. The infamous Can we all just get along?..

With respect to plagiarizing or not, there’s certainly grey area as to whether this is infact truly a cut and paste job since the author did make an attempt to make reference to the original piece. Having said that the issue has been complicated even further by the fact that the dude didn’t completely give credit. The editors need to come out and accept this and move on rather than drag this on and on.
