I looked at your answer and those comments, skimmed the Wikipedia page, and I do not see direct copies.  OOP is a fundamental topic, widely taught and widely written about.  It's not surprising to me that many independent explanations take similar approaches.  To some people that probably looks like copying, and in a worldwide community with language barriers that's probably an even larger risk.

I ask everybody to be careful about making, or accepting, public assertions about other people.  If you see something that concerns you, a flag is a way to get in touch with moderators privately.  If you think you see plagiarism, please include a link in your flag.  Plagiarism isn't ok, but two people explaining the same concept in similar ways isn't necessarily plagiarism.

I added a comment and renamed the thread to something more generic.
