But not to get side-tracked once again:

The missing context is the source of the problem and whether methods like Lagrange modifiers are acceptable or not.

(The latter would usually be given implicitly by mentioning general background, as OP of course cannot be expected to know about what they don't know.)

I don't think that this is asking for all that much. Nothing about failed attempts etc.

One more incarnation of a basic inequality. Masquerading as a solution verification request, but the answerers treat it as a duplicate, and, particularly the "trusted users", IMO deserve a downvote.

@user21820 Even worse, C5 is an exact duplicate of this one

Oi vey...

If you would want to do anything better, you should first stop your massive content destruction by closing and deleting posts on crap reasons, like "unmotivated" and "problem statement". Instead, you should explain your real motives, so you could gain maybe even supporters. Silently closing, deleting posts from the background, without a reasoning or with a crap reasoning, particularly the ones' complaining their deletions... I don't think you could explain it. On other sites, even mods were de-modded for such rampages. — peterh 2 mins ago

peterh

@XanderHenderson Exactly. What are you motives?

Xander Henderson

I explained my motives, @peterh.

The questions are unmotivated and lacking context.

peterh

@XanderHenderson Where?

@XanderHenderson I asked your real motives.

Xander Henderson

@peterh I have explained my "real" motivations. You are choosing to accuse me of lying. I am done talking to you. Goodbye.

peterh

@XanderHenderson No, I accuse you with power misuse.

@XanderHenderson The false and obviously meaningless "reasons" for this rampage serve only as an excuse for this power misuse. I asked you the motivation for the power misuse.

del-pls elementary-number-theory This abysmal PSQ has been reopened. It is the subject of previous remarks in CRUDE. Minimize $a+b+c+d$ given $\text{LCM}(a,b,c,d)=1000$‭ - peterh‭ 2018-07-10 18:29:29Z

For the record, yet another starred post critical of an active CRUDE member has been unstarred (the post above by peterh expressing his opinion that Xander Handerson is misusing his powers) @quid Ytet another example of the extreme bias by the room owners.

Oops, typo, should be "Xander Henderson is misusing his powers"

@peterh See my prior comment. Due to the above it will be impossible to know how your critiques are received here.

quid

@BillDubuque I would not describe it as critical comment, but as an insult. Anyway, I don't think the unstarring is helpful, as your comment shows.

I will move the above messages to Math Meta Chat. If you want, you can continue the discussion there.

@quid Seriously? Since when is it an "insult" to express the opinion that a CRUDE user is misusing their powers? (as many surely do) Much worse has been said here, e.g. Jyrki's rants calling many prolific teachers rep wh*res motivated by overblown egos. But you didn't call those insults (and they were highly starred). The mind boggles..

Xander Henderson

22:14

For the record, I have not unstarred anything.

And I do not appreciate the continued unfounded accusations, both from you @BillDubuque, and from peterh.

Bill Dubuque

@XanderHenderson Please be more careful - I have not accused you of anything - I merely quoted peterh's remark

Xander Henderson

@BillDubuque Then what is this, then?

Oh, wait... I apologize.

I did not see that you were correcting your own typo.

Bill Dubuque

@XanderHenderson I spelled your name wrong so as a courtesy I corrected it (some users get really peeved by that - it was not intentional).

Xander Henderson

The bolded comment "yet another starred post critical of an active CRUDE member has been unstarred" followed by "Oops, typo, should be "Xander Henderson is misusing his powers"" confused me momentarily---I didn't grok the line in between.

Again, apologies.

I appreciate the correction.

Bill Dubuque

@XanderHenderson No problem. Btw the discussion continued in Math Meta Chat. peterh seems to sincerely want to understand the motives of CRUDE users but I couldn't point him to anything written on that. Perhaps you could?

Xander Henderson

22:19

Yes, I just found that discussion.

Thank you.
