Except, that's exactly what the person did. They freely admitted to basing their work on the style of an artist they liked but folks still tried to claim they traced and proceeded to verbally lynch them for it. Then toss on the policing of the thread and eh... no.

Plus, your argument sounds like "If you're innocent, you have nothing to hide!" to me. It's not an argument I'm comfortable with.
