So I come back and make a few posts, and granted this has happened on other boards too, and everybody just jumps on my back and attacks me.
I am more than happy to just disappear. I was just wondering if left to a vote you guys want me gone? I don't mind just leaving and never coming back.
But I also think it would be great if I had a place on here and people could appreciate the things that I have to offer.

I voted yes as long as you're not posting under two names.
Hey, you do have a place on here. The Wizard even gives all members a FREE Blog.Quote: aahigh

My suggestion is to start using it.
No one can please everyone all the time.
"You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself"
yes, there is music that goes with that line
IMO, One can never get enough great comedy.
same person? Why? Why does he have 2 names?
All feedback is positive. means somebody read what you wrote and cared enough to reply.

same person? Why? Why does he have 2 names?
I already had two accounts because I didn't realize I had one when I created the second one.
But when I was suspended for violating the rules, and people continued to attack me while I was not allowed to post, I didn't see any rules about posting from the second account which had already been created, and I saw that it wasn't about being fair but following the rules around here (you can make people look bad, you just can't criticize them, apparently).
So everybody makes a sport out of doing bad things without breaking the rules, and I figured if you can't beat 'em join 'em.
I am sure there will soon be a rule about having two accounts and posting from the other one after you get suspended.
But I am also sure that people take advantage of trolling to get people to break the rules, then make people look bad while they can't even defend themselves.
I'm the new guy, so as far as people get away with bashing other people, I'm going to lose as I have no experience.

Thanks, I do appreciate your perspective, and it is a valid one.
Quote: aahighI also saw no rule about criticizing the forum, so hopefully my criticism about how everybody bashes everybody for sport around here isn't against the rules.
Where is the 'bashing everybody for sport' at,
I missed it.

You created ahigh in May of 10, then created aahigh in Dec 10,
Why didn't you choose ahigh the second time? It would have
said the name was taken and you would have realized you
already had a name. Choosing aahigh doesn't make sense.
Its like you knew you had a name already and chose to have
two names.

I honestly don't remember. I am aahigh on procraps and on my board I am ahigh. I use both and I expect I got confused.
I don't remember creating an account so that I could keep posting, but it's conceivable that I did that back then. I just don't know, and I honestly don't remember.
Anybody want to dig into my posts when I created the most recent account and see if I got suspended?
Quote: PokeraddictWhen I saw your other posts it seemed your entire motivation was to come here and try to get people to sign up for your forum. IIRC you bumped an old thread to do it. Most people would consider that spam. If you are not going to use the forum for self promotion then I bet most people would welcome you here.
I have had that problem in other forums too. As far as self-promotion, if I have to choose denigration versus promotion I'm going to go promotion every time as I think anyone would.
But it's not a business. I do this for fun.
I absolutely have nothing to gain financially by anything that I am doing online. And that's the end of that.
I do sell a couple of things on E-bay, but I will never turn any kind of profit. It's like garage sale online and more about getting rid of crap.
I made 20 sticks of dice and they cost me $30 a stick. Some people think that is evidence I'm profiting, but seriously?
I have done some other things, but I can absolutely assure you that I'm not profiting in any way shape or form.
I get that a lot though. People thinking I'm making money from posting or promoting my website.
I do this out of generosity, not greed. And that's the absolute truth. And that's also why I take it so personally when people criticize my efforts.
Here's a stick of those dice I sold at a $15 loss recently.
Promoting my website and who I am, for sure.
But I'm not making any money at this. If anything I am losing my valuable time doing things I like doing instead of doing real work that pays way more than selling sticks of dice on the internet.
Quote: SOOPOOTechnically you should be banned permanently for having two accounts, especially when you are using the second one while the first one is suspended. That will be up to the Wiz to decide. I do not think that you 'need to leave'. I just think you need to have a much thicker skin. There are a lot of REALLY bright mathematicians here, and you can imagine how tiresome it must get for them to explain what is to them a simple concept and then to have a far less knowledgable person try and explain how they are wrong... Just read some of the threads in the 'betting system' section and you'll get my drift.
I would be totally fine with that. And I'm not going to be surprised if that is what happens because I think that the rules are being abused by many trolls on here who just dance around the rules still accomplishing their goals of starting conflicts with absolutely no interest in helping anyone at all.
A big reason I left is because, in general, there was WAY too much arrogance on here. Even somebody who is right all the time isn't necessarily someone that you want to hang out with.
And I enjoy my friends and my company.
And I don't enjoy getting attacked over a bunch of trivial nonsense.

I concur. That is rubbing it into the Wizard's face, and I would have to imagine you know it.
I think the 'arrogance' here was getting to him
