@Lord_Farin Only L remains.
@DevashishKaushik Gone.
@DevashishKaushik Left this and this.
NCQs up for deletion: 1, 2, 3.
PSQ with copied hint is up for deletion.
This should probably be reopened.
@XanderHenderson Why are logic and computability conspicuously missing from the list? =|
 
4:09 AM
@user21820 gone
@user21820 First "this" is open now for deletion.
 
4:25 AM
@user21820 Pish tosh. Who needs that BS? We're mathematicians, not dirty... shudder philosophers. :P
 
@XanderHenderson You can't prove that! =P
Even if it's true! (But it's not, of course.)
 
4:37 AM
@user21820 Of course I can't. I don't know any logic. Again, mathematician, not philosopher. Derp.
:P
That being said, I think that this issue really is that most mathematicians don't really know logic and/or computability theory with any specificity.
It is hard to require a class that so few mathematicians are actually qualified to teach. :\
 
@XanderHenderson Yea that was why I was sad. And, amusingly, there is a user now in this room with an avatar to express my face.
 
History of mathematics is another area where I think that we are sadly lacking in competent instructors.
@user21820 Heh.
@user21820 gone
@user21820 You mean "undeleted"?
 
@XanderHenderson Maybe we should continue this in SBA's realm, but I can't resist linking Smullyan's excellent writing on Logicians who reason about themselves.
@XanderHenderson Well I voted to delete first, since it was a bit lacking, but then I thought that maybe not since it's much better (relatively speaking) than the linked 'duplicate'.
 
@user21820 The linked duplicate has now been deleted (I cast the deciding vote).
I'm not sure that I feel that the newer question should be reopened, however.
Though I do agree that the newer question is better.
 
4:45 AM
Sure, thanks!
 
@XanderHenderson Hahaha! :D
I flagged it (twice) and voted to close.

thanks @quid

What should I flag for a question like this one ? I'm really not sure
I'm asking for if it was to happen in the future
 
 
1 hour later…
3:50 PM
@Jakobian You could have flagged it as rude or abusive.
 
 
2 hours later…
RRL
6:34 PM
Consider for deletion: 1 and 2
 
 
2 hours later…
9:00 PM
@RRL Both are now deleted.

@amWhy: Thank you.
 
Hi can you find what happened to my answer there ? The OP could delete his question and my answer ? Don't you think there is a problem there, the same user being asking more similar questions the next day.

@RRL Thank you for posting links to those questions!
@reuns Do you have a link or two to the "similar questions" that the user has posted after that question that you answered?
 
11:11 PM
I think I found the post, @reuns, and have commented on that subsequent post, addressing the asker, and have flagged the question with a link to the deleted version which demonstrates that the second post was the same question originally asked and answer, then deleted by the asker.
 
11:24 PM
@reuns that's possible as long as your answer does not have an upvote. This happens with some frequency. If it happens just raise a flag and we undelete.
