Melody’s wrap-up Idea is great, so I’ll be using this here and at some other sites.
A question I am sometimes asked is the post ID real. Yes it is. It is a hash function. Someone from here cracked it and sent me an email (3 counting the carbon copies to other emails)telling me so. He calls himself an Omnipotent Member of the Q Continuum. Very impressive cracking the hash but finding three of my email addresses that is Omnipotent.
The Omnipotent one knows The Batman’s real identity. Holy Batshit. Yes, Batman had to change his shorts before he replied to the email. He said I was disrupting a demographic and a social infrastructure. He didn’t threaten me, he complimented my humor, and told me to troll elsewhere. Of course, I will comply.
He did not answer my reply. It is almost two weeks, so this might get his attention. I am part of this demographic and social infrastructure now. Why would he spend the time and computational power to do this? “Alan” and “I like Serena” were the only two I commented on. Father, grandfather, girlfriend, boyfriend?
A Troll’s life is not easy. I don’t get paid for my hard work anymore than any of you do. The foul abuse I take on some forums is disproportionate to what I give.
True, I am not polite. I could try that. Let us see how that might work.
Excuse me kind sir, I believe you made an error in your equation. I really hate to embarrass you and I could be wrong and I am really sorry to point out your error, because it is obvious you are an erudite professional who slipped on carelessly discarded excrete, and that can happen to the best of us though it seems to happen to you much more often than your consummate skill set should indicate. So here it goes with great trepidation: 2+2 = 4 not 40. I am really, really sorry.
This brings more contempt than saying you “fucked up.” Also, many computers would suffer damaged because of the vomit on the keyboards
An unintoxicated proofread would catch most of these errors. Think of it as proofreading without the proof.
While almost anyone is fair game on here, I focus on the more professional responders. Right now those are Rom and Alan. Next in line are the pseudo experts. This class gives half-assed answers. They are usually wrong and incomplete and worse than nothing. What is their point? Throwing some b******t out, patting the students on the head, then send them on their way. With a “Don’t forget to kiss my a*s thank you for this b******t” (wink, wink). Some might say they are trolls in disguise, but they are more like gnomes – they stand around giving an odd contrast to a garden.

Just so you know, I am a Professional Troll, not just an internet troll. So Melody, the mother hen moderator of this forum, quoting Dr Claire Hardaker
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7699&p=20901&hilit=Dr+Claire&sid=e5983ccd0a234f28d88a1814edd86a33#p20901
is only partly right. You probably don’t know that Dr Claire changed her name. Either a troll convinced her, or she married one. I have read her work. She justifies her existence by criticizing others, so she is a professional troll too. She gets paid for her work. I doubt she is worth it.
It is true, I am amused by my postings, so are many others (it is one of the bonuses). My posts have high read counts on most sites, but that is not why I do it. My real intention is not to cause disruption and/or trigger conflict. That may happen, but it is not the reason. The targets are not random they are carefully selected. I don’t just stomp all over looking to deface or vandalize. By strict definition I am not a troll. Everyone is a troll (or worse) if your posts are disliked. Many labeled me as a troll, so I decided to become a professional troll. I wear the name with pride.
My criticisms are not polite but they have a point. I have a membership here. It is older than any current poster, except for Admin, whose latest post to points to another site. This place was not worth trolling until a few months ago. Until Scrutinizer came along only admin was consistently answering questions. Admin’s answers were like the ones in the back of the book. No explanation just the answer.
Scrutinizer’s answers were so often constantly wrong that I thought this place might be a Russian site. That is part of Russian culture, to answer questions wrongly on purpose. (Is it any wonder they lag 10 or 20 years behind other nations in technology?). There was no point in trolling him. He either was doing it on purpose or he was so brain damaged from hardened arteries he didn’t know what he was doing. The mother hen sent him scurrying into his hole. He probably thinks she is a troll.
I presume, if Melody had real moderator rights she would just delete my posts like so much trash that needs swept up. You really need a life outside this forum (3000 post in 6 months). Getting your hose in a knot over a mildly impudent commentary is a sign of needing a break (and psychiatric help). If you think about it I did you a favor. Alan has stepped up in class—I have never seen that happen before. The brownie tomcat, I like Serena, has mostly gone somewhere else to spray his territory. How can anyone say this is bad?

I noticed a Russian language question on here. I will answer it. Your attempt to answer it using bing or google translator is poor at best, the Russkii might understand it if he can stop laughing long enough. That is if you understood the question well enough to answer it in the first place. Blue Moon is right, “ bad translator.” Any one wonder why a *Russian* posts a question in Russian (real Russian, not translated) on an English site? Read the part about Russian culture above.
I answered the Russian question
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9697
I also commented on Blue Moon. I gave the Russkii some good advice.

A follow up on my previous post. Alan rose to the occasion and greatly improved his work product.
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/math-equation
Here he acknowledges “laziness” then produces a great piece of work. I would say you are almost in the class of Rom, but I am not sure if that is a compliment.
Then another statistics question. http://web2.0calc.com/questions/nonlinear-regression
Here a correct answer, with the addition of bovine excrement at the end!
So I have to ask (again), What is the probability that a general mathematician will s***w up an answer to a statistics question?
Answer: It is about the same as walking across a cow pasture and stepping in a pile.

Here is a response to a comment from “I like Serena”.
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9496&p=20860#p20823
If he/she comes back with a good retort I will give him/her a “brownie” point.

I corrected two of Rom’s s***w ups.

And here: http://web2.0calc.com/questions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9830&p=21633&hilit=Diffraction#p21709
I was very intrepid about correcting this after Rom wanted to shove an attitude grenade up Blue Moon’s “Behind.”
