I spent just a few minutes researching this today and you are absolutely right. On public message boards, copyright law states that the user (member) owns the content. Therefore, he did not have the right to take that content and republish it under his own guises. He also still has not changed it enough for it to not be copyright infringement. He's not a good enough writer to understand how to do this. As a professional writer, I could easily take anyone's post here and turn it into an article without you ever knowing it was inspired by your post. But then again, I know how to research a topic and cite sources and ask permission to use content. I also know how to work with a source to develop a quote from them that they would feel safe in using.

This guy clearly has limited English writing skills and a very low grasp of English grammar. I wouldn't usually criticize this except that he's trying to run an English-based blog site.

Again, I doubt he has any traction, so I wouldn't worry about it.
