He knows how much he does not know and is judged by those who think they do.
For them it is a game. For such as RPenner it is a mere nuisance.
All that comes to mind for me is the ballad of the rich man and the camel and the eye of a needle...
For any of conscience upon this forum, give Ivars positive feedback, not because he deserves it, but because he does not deserve the negativity that has been thrust his way, even by some upon this forum I quite like... and he knows who he is. ++++++++-+++

For Zarkov it is a badge of Honour
??? Why would anyone want a pat on the back by idiots !!
as they say, there is a fine line between madness and genius, but only an intelligent person can identify a genius.... to the mob mentality, both are mad !!!
I love it
Fortunately I know all are mad, because I can prove it.... so stand up and put them down.
When you live in a mad society, the truly sane are considered mad
while the insane are deemed sane
LOL, what a time to be here and witnessing these idiots called human beings !!!!
Extinction is in countdown mode.

Let me tell you the brutal truth Zarkov... the very fact that you are agreeing with me in essence will make others less likely to respond favorably to this thread. The problem?
"They" have power and you do not. Quite frankly, Z, you seem "insane" even to me at times. I cut you slack because I understand your anger... I really do. But this does not mean I agree with you.
We are "united" in the face of a common enemy: Intolerance and lack of willingness to entertain views outside the mainstream. Otherwise, however, I feel I have far more in common with such as RPenner than you.
No insult intended.

Good. Quite frankly, I think Ivars is an idiot. Instead of taking the time to learn things from AlphaNumeric and rpenner, two of the most knowledgeable people on the forum, he'd rather kick some pseudomaths around with StevenA and Precursor562. He's been demonstrated things over and over by AN, but he refuses to learn.
Yes, he does. He'd rather do pseudomaths with the likes of StevenA than learn some real maths with the likes of Euler.

Hey, TheDoc,
A few points:
1) English is not Ivars' first language. As I understand it, he is from Latvia, so I would think he would get at least a few points on the "not an idiot" front simply for being able to express himself in even remotely comprehensible manner, particularly given the level of abstraction he is grappling with.
2) I dare say that a complete idiot could not generate the images that Ivars has generated and posted to the Tetration forum:
See: http://math.eretrandre.org/tetrationforum/...thread-163.html
3) No one should feel, in my opinion, that they have to learn what others believe they should learn. Ivars has an unique viewpoint and is trying, again as I understand it, to learn that which he needs to learn in order to cogently express his personal cosmology. Assuming he speaks truth, which I believe he does, he is currently reading about Cantor and Group Representation Theory, so it's not as if he is not making any attempt to learn.
4) How about basic fairness, like one man, one vote? I've no problem, for instance, with you giving Ivars negative feedback, though I disagree with you, but I do have a bit of a problem with sockpuppets undermining the credibility of others with double negs. Can you imagine if we extrapolated the general premise to the body politic at large and gave all those who desired anarchy, war and destruction two votes at the polling booth?
5) IMO, Ivars is a seeker and a searcher with a relational artistic and visual mode of thought, and he operates, it seems quite clear to me, from the outside in and the inside out, rather than bottom up or top down. Personally, I have found him to be humble, patient, open-minded and quite willing to own up to his own short-comings.
Just some food for thought.
Best,
Raphie

Ivars is a crank. He isn't interested in learning, doesn't want to discuss things like actual maths he might superficially seem interested in and continually posts debunked nonsense.

Hi RF,
I think it is fairly obvious even to the casual observer that this is a troll infested site. Looking at (say) NOM's +80 feedback we might expect some knowledge and interest in physics and in reality we would find neither. On the other hand InQuisitive (-30) is a lively contributor with a great interest in Physics.
I guess the people who have grown up with the internet accept trolls as 'normal' - we are the odd ones out - we still have the feeling "something should be done" - the reality seems to be that nothing can be done once a set of trolls have decided to attack a site and/or individual. The troll has unlimited time to devote to attacks whereas only limited time (and technology) is available to prevent the attacks.
Best wishes,

"Disagrees with string theory" is not something I would give as a reason for neg repping someone. I'm sure I know more problems with string theory, both technical and conceptual than anyone else on these forums precisely because I've spent time learning it. The short comings of any area of physics are most apparent to those who understand it, though the cranks don't realise this.
Ivars however doesn't discuss string theory, he discusses (or tries to) mathematics. Mathematics, unlike physics, isn't a matter of experiments or interpretations. 2+2=4 is never going to be found false by experiment or some new 'theory of numbers' coming along and making us change our views. Mathematics and logic are the only realm where proof exists. For instance, Ivars' latest thread involves claiming there's a smallest non-zero size for a volume in 3d space. I proved that false. Now there's no interpretations, physical theories, experiments or whatnot to contend with here. Given the definitions of volume, dimensions etc, it is wrong to claim what he does.
And yet he ignores what I've said, doesn't actually try to discuss it and makes no attempt to understand it. In the time he's been posting here I've never seen him learn any actual mathematics. Anyone who is serious in learning mathematics reads some mathematics. But cranks never do. They believe they can rederive everything themselves, better. Yet their mistakes in logic and simple, high school, maths are immediate. Just as Ivars' was.

I would be a little reluctant to put too much into the voting system - I see it as part of the game - a reflection about how sociality works - there will always be this battle of "good against evil" - there exist no such thing as objective truth - you can be more or less in agreement with conformity - time tends to change or at least drastically modify what we think is true knowledge -
One do not need to spent long time in this Forum before knowing the game and how to decode the ratings and react accordingly. This Forum would be a fun-factor less if the rating system was abolished.
And if you ask Ivars or any other person with a so-called low rating, I would guess that they are overtly disaffected - however it would be nice if the socalled FM's cared to qualify their neg's - it is a "little" just a little irritating to get these non-qualified - non-argued negs - it is in a way too cheap - too easy - points - please show just some quality when negging.

That is why he has the most activity in the feedback section, while losing out to real people, like Stuart Anderson, and JR Penner, in the over-all best score.
These 'other idiots' have lowered the value of this forum, even thought they claim to be "trying to save it", with their policing. Sock-puppet percentage must be taken into consideration when evaluating someones score. Multiply that by # of "warnings", for bad behavior.
"Alpha-Numeric" does not get close to the "top score".
His hiding behind cyber-names, sock-puppets, and biased class-mate 'gangs', all contribute to his self-proclaimed glory.
When are you going to come clean, AN? If you are real, then post the real info, not some "I can vouch for him" from another sock-puppet. Put it in your signature, not some obscure thread (1/8000+), that you seem to refer to. I've never seen you, Euler, or anyone else, who isn't using their real name, prove to be anything but a fake. (I'm not saying you haven't attended College)
You may think this is a 'personal attack', but it is not. It is in the best interests, for everybody, that the true leaders of this forum (or any other group) are accountable for their, and their followers, actions.
Until then.. this is all a hoax.
Mr Homm and RPenner are by far, better members, better people, and better Scientists, than the above-mentioned green-horns.
It is so easy to set this straight, for good. If you want to use your "position" as a reason for people to listen to you, then you'll have to 'go public', like all other legitimate Scientists.
All of these troubles, all of these sock-puppets, and all of these names came into the forum, at the same time (I do not mean, "to the day"). It is not a coincidence. The 'would-be heroes' rolled into this forum together, and both created the problems, and their "savior". It is sickening "anti-science" at work. This is not a 'popularity contest'.

Take the fight to them inQZtive, the valiant crusader of righteousness, saving the world one forum at a time from the evil sockpuppets, so we can all live happily ever after.
In reality, everyone is a sockpuppet. This forum is actually only one person.
Enough with the sockpuppet claims unless you can provide proof. Otherwise, shut your yap, it's just as annoying having everyone and their uncle running around daily screaming "SOCKPUPPET OMG OMG OMG" at the top of their lungs.

Point taken.
That's the real insidious part: in this forum, it's unfalsifiable. There's no moderation, and when they instituted the "popularity contest", it fueled this fire that we have.
Let me remind folks why "they" don't care: the more sock-puppets ("SP's"), and the more voting, the more "hits" this web site can claim. More "members", and more activity, more potential revenue from advertisers. They try to clean up the worst of it, because the advertisers do visit the forum, if not but to just check their ads, and see what kind of potential customers they are getting. It would seem, in the end, to be a "bad idea" for the Forum, but it will take a while for them to realize this.
In the mean time..
I was responding to NOM's prostration. It's uncalled for; this is not a popularity contest. Nobody cares, to a greater extent than is already shown, "in the voting booth". When you can see the SP history, it's not about them, it's about their own grandiose egos, running rampant, making this a "fantasy island" for the deranged. It is MORE annoying than "claims of sock-puppetry", by far. It promotes "anti-science", egoism, false claims, mob mentality, and yes, more cranks too, with the same problems. That is the "sad day" for this forum.
NOM is one of the biggest punks on this site. (made bigger by # of SP's he has)
He has a personal relationship with Alphanumeric, which has been disclosed before. This "group" has an unfair advantage, over the rest of the members, and it plainly shows in the "rating system". They need to learn that cheaters do not "win" in Science. They need to learn, that Science is not a "popularity contest", even though the largest percentage of "followers"/supporters of a theory is what generally decides between 2 otherwise "good theories".
That is done with a "one-to-one" voting ratio, not the cheating, role-playing mentality, adolescent version you see here. A stand needs to be made. This forum was better, before the "invasion" of Megalomaniacs, and their legion.
I never heard the word "sock-puppet" on this forum, before the "Alpha Clan" signed up as members. Never.

It's funny. The people who claim I maintain many accounts are generally those who don't like what I say. I have no need to maintain sock puppets. I let my physics and maths posts talk for themselves and every time, every time, I've challenged a crank they've failed.
There's no 'gangs' with me in the centre, at least not ones I have set up. I know Euler in real life. I have spoken via email to Rpenner and BenTheMan. And I have posted personal information, many times. For instance here I prove to ubavontuba that I am who I claim to be, using multiple independent sources, including academic institutions, published papers and even rowing pictures. And what does ubavontuba reply? He continues with his "I won't back up anything I claim unless you admit you're a chatbot". He thinks I maintain numerous websites, including the largest collection of academic publications in the world, www.arxiv.org , all for the purpose of fooling him. Precursor has been given the same information, along with links to my work, and he went from "You're a faker" to deliberately ignoring the evidence. Kaneda, who I still cross paths with on another forum, is the same. Says "You're a faker" but doesn't actually debunk the multitude of links I provide.
I have existed on other forums for a long time under this name. Farsight, in his desperation to attack me rather than my physics, searched for me on other forums. I behave exactly the same on other forums as I do here, except on places like www.thestudentroom.co.uk I know more people in real life because I went or go to university with them.
You say that you've not seen myself prove to be anything but a fake but what you mean to say is you've not seen me prove I'm who or what I claim to be. The difference is important. I've been accused of being anywhere from 2 to 15 posters on these forums many many times and yet where's the evidence? The fact a large number of people disagree with you? I work in an office with 6 other people and every time one of them reads this forum over my shoulder they agree that people like Farsight, StevenA, NeoNo.1 etc are all crank wackos.

I have absolutely no idea how NOM is. He and I don't exchange very many PMs, never emails and I have never met him in real life. Can you link to the post where our 'personal relationship' is 'disclosed'? I doubt it, because you're lying.
It sounds to me like the cranks are playing chinese whispers and embelishing their dislike of me a bit. And even if I was every single member of the forum mafia (a term I dislike and which I have never used to describe myself) it wouldn't make the physics and maths I post wrong. And that's the problem for the cranks. If you cannot attack the science I post, you try to attack me.
And my warnings are for calling people like Farsight a liar. He took offence and went crying to the moderators. And yet he never actually managed to counter the insult itself by showing he could do relativity...

That's what the percentage of our feedback is. One person, one vote, but the number, positive or negative, is the total of votes for or against us.
So we have both.
most of my negative feedback is not from one person/one vote, but rather from a few real people with many sock puppets.
the feedback system is a bad joke.

Thanks for the info, AlphaNumeric.
I realize that you get this from others as well, and it must be frustrating.
Let me go through a few points.
1. I have faith in your math & physics, and did not question that.
2. While I have no idea if you directly have other accounts, what I was posting about, (and included you in) was the larger picture here. I was talking specifically about these "scores", and the fact there are a large number of multiple account holders (I'm sure you would agree) here, that overly influence the feedback, in both directions. That was intended for NOM's post.
3. Like it or not, you are now "a role model" here. I think if you recognize this, you might see the benefit of being a little more vocal against the very poor behavior that goes on. (and yes, sometimes by you)
4. (case in point) You go right for the "I doubt it, because you're lying" response to my saying that I think NOM is "affiliated" with you. This may have been "Alpha" that I'm thinking of, and also, it could be through "Euler", and then you. Point being, that these people act like they're affiliated with you, and you do nothing to correct them. If you are against the FM, I must guess that you are against that behavior.
5. As I said above, I don't doubt your education; and as you said, "my posts speak for themselves", as far as math & physics goes. This is totally true. That is why I do not think that you need to state your credentials in an argument, nor state "an actual Physicist" on your title. Do you see my point? This just looks like your ego is riding a ways out in front of you, and it shouldn't matter, if your work is sound.
6. (consider this for "arguments sake") Linking papers, websites, etc, with "a name" that you say is you, isn't proof. I'm not asking for more (you'd really be twisted to go through all that, as you said). Give me 1/2 hour, and I can make an identical set of claims, only falsifiable by actually contacting the person. My real point is not "you are a fake", it is, "be authentic". With your real name, as a signature, or in your title, whatever, you are much more obliged to act a little more "human" in response to the absurdities that you have to deal with. These people are surely "in the dark", but they are people. You also regularly make "sweeping generalizations" about "all cranks" etc. My complaint there, is that Science is questioning, testing, confirming. If we begin to belittle anyone who dares to question, or seeks confirmation, we are "anti-science". Again, this has a domino effect, because of your role model status here. I can't imagine you treating real students in a classroom that way. I understand that there are limits, and you are pushed past them by the type who are pushing there own pet theory, regardless of how wrong. Help them as much as possible, and then let them go.
That is addressed above. This is the "veil" that everyone has here, and most, hide behind, and act in ways that are quite disgusting. Anybody can claim anything here. The "what" you claim to be, is irrelevant, IMO. The "who" is everything. You are going to publish under your name; I assume that you will refer to those papers here, occasionally. It is just my opinion, that showing your name would help things in ways that you don't realize, especially when you're going to make references to your work, or background, as part of your argument. I could be wrong.

It is seeing the feedback in almost everyone in this forum, go in an all too predictable pattern Yes, there are many people who are ignorant of many things. It doesn't make them any more wacko than you or I. There are people with real problems, of course.
We are all ignorant of something; even collectively, we know very little, of what there is "to know". Every new idea should have the same chance to be tested. Most will fail. The personal attacks, and the "nothing you say could be right" attitude just feed the growing opinion, that Science has become "cultish", or "indoctrinated". It should be as open as possible, especially in these times.

This is poor use of logic. It does not make an analogy to the subject at hand. Your story should read like this:
While sitting in a room, talking with a man, he calls you a dog. Offended, you get up and go into the next room. From the room you just left, you hear, in a slightly muffled voice, "yeah, you're a dog". Then, in another voice, (same british accent), "yeah, a real stupid dog". Then, in a female sounding voice, "yeah, and your mum had sex with a monkey, you f*'n dog". Then, another, ....
Who's got the "fleas"?
Of course not just once, for one person, but for everybody here, that ever disagrees with anybody, deemed to be "FM", or affiliated with AN ~ Euler. These "other voters" have never been in any conversations, they exist only to make some people appear better than others, in a "mob-rule" sort of way.
Again, I'm not saying who is wrong, or right, in these conversations. Most of the time, these highly educated folks, are going to be on the "right" side. That is not the point. The point is trying to get back, and maintain a respectable atmosphere, where people can talk, and reasonably work out their differences. This does not, of course, mean that everybody will always come to an agreement.
If people are wrong, they can be taught. The atmosphere must resemble something closer to a classroom. Would you stay in a class, where the "teacher" changed voices, and mocked you, if you were wrong, or asked a repeated question? If he/she laughed at you, and solicited negative opinions from your "class-mates"? If he/she just stood there, while another class-mate did the above? If someone rudely interupts your class, calling the student that you're working with, an idiot, then you MUST deal with that interupting person. Otherwise, you lose all control and respect of everybody (except the offender).
Most people do not learn something from a one-time exposure. That's what "practice" is all about. So, calling someone an "idiot", or a "crank", because you have to repeat something, is rather "non-teaching", or "anti-science", don't you think? When it's about your ego, and just being right, and appearing to "win", then, it is not Science, and it is not Teaching.

The blame for the downfall of PhysOrg shouldn't rest on our shoulders alone.

Hi TheDoc!
Wow, this is the first time that we've ever talked. It's nice to get to meet the person who has 3 negs, under "thedoc" account, in my feedback.
Proving SP's can be done easily by looking into the records of PhysOrg. Short of that, there is no "proving". But, as confused2 said, it is actually irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you are 2^4 or 3^3. Your "more than one unique votes" bastardizes the feedback system.
Good evidence:
I have ZERO posts, between Feb 25 2008, and Jun 27 2008. You joined in March, 2008. You immediately were FM member, and began where you left off.. presumably, cecil P abstract>>Dallas>>Alpha>>Pupamancur. Your latest account, TheDoc, posted back to back negatives (1 week), in a large period of time that I did not post at all.
Can you link any PM's, e-mails, or other data, that show how one "joins" the FM, how it is communicated that, "everyone thinks you're an idiot"? Do you have meeting minutes, or something?
If you don't have this sort of evidence, then we must assume that there really is NO communication going on, at all. That would be unnecessary, if the members were actually the n_th root of SP_0. If there are "just 3", and they each have 2 or 3 accounts, and they each have been banned n times, then.. well, you get the point.
If these types of people are vocally supporting the likes of Alphanumeric, they are not doing him any favors.

You'll have to explain what you mean.
You're basically right there. But, again, it doesn't apply to this (mine, anyway) scenario. No "plenty of opportunities", no "sizable group of people". Read up on statistics, and come back and tell me what the opinions of 5-10 people say about "the truth".

All those scores are down. It doesn't seem to be consistent with my point. Having a fairly high score, to begin with, prevents the FM from totally screwing someones feedback score, as confused2 is evidence of.
I've done none of the above. The closest things are: I have given positive feedback to someone, to counter the parade/bandwagon of negs. I have not given the same, for anyone who has proved to be totally argumentative, beyond reasoning, etc. Basically, to a few "newbies". Also, I do not always follow the "consensus", unless it is well established by experimental fact.

Maybe you haven't looked hard enough? I don't know. You can translate "making fun of", into "negging", if it helps you to see my point.
No, I'm not assuming "1 or 2". IP addresses signify "real internet connections", not "real people". Signing in at your girlfriends house doesn't count. See my point? Anybody can "falsify", or create a new IP address. Especially at schools, libraries, internet cafe's, etc. Not to mention the software that can make you appear from anywhere you'd like. There is no substitute for "real people".

I've done none of the above. The closest things are: I have given positive feedback to someone, to counter the parade/bandwagon of negs. I have not given the same, for anyone who has proved to be totally argumentative, beyond reasoning, etc. Basically, to a few "newbies". Also, I do not always follow the "consensus", unless it is well established by experimental fact.

Maybe you haven't looked hard enough? I don't know. You can translate "making fun of", into "negging", if it helps you to see my point.

Seems to me like his feedback score is higher than yers because he's better at physics an debate than you. Same holds true for other cranks. Compared to them, he's an actual friggan scientist with a perfectly lovable personality!
