@KnightwantsLoongback wow, it was deleted as spam/offensive content, that is more extreme than anything I would have imagined.

@AshishAhuja I'm happy that they were benevolent enough so as not to call it "obscene"

@KnightwantsLoongback You're gonna hate me for saying this, but this is a huge and uncalculated overreaction. I support Loong as much as any other person, but making a fuss on the main meta would not make main meta folks sympathetic to your cause. ESPECIALLY if you antagonize them for something they never did.

skullpatrol

Yeah, main meta is a jungle. You're not going to find any sympathy there.

After all, they deal mostly with stack overflow issues.

M.A.R.

No, don't side step the issue.

Monica wasn't an SO mod.

If your outrage is not expressed right, you only alienate the people whose support you're looking for.

Now I'm pretty sure people have decided they'll either assume @Sha's stance, or MadSci's.

skullpatrol

We're small potatoes compared to the volume on SO.

Especially post Covid

M.A.R.

Sure, that's true. And it's also true that an SO issue will garner more attention.

But people would rage when they see fit. I want you to ask yourself why Faded Giant didn't post anything on main meta himself.

skullpatrol

He knows the territory.

If I were to convince people that the new agreement is cause for an outrage, it needs a time and a place.

The time has past, sure, but it might have been the place.

And then I would have explained why the new agreement is a cause for concern, not "why are you not mad?"

skullpatrol

Like I said that place is a jungle.

A: Diamonds are not forever

There is no answer to this other than pure outrage.

@M.A.R. Huh? Why there is a misconception that I did it for sympathy?

@M.A.R. What does that mean?

@M.A.R. Because that would be the same thing as to make fun of yourself, he doesn’t need SE but SE needed and need him.

M.A.R.

14:28

@KnightwantsLoongback You didn't do it to convince people to join the outrage? What was it for then?

@M.A.R. Just wanted to see the real face of good people.

molview.org/?cid=105054 the 3d structure drawn here is incorrect? In many places it is mentioned that the triiodide ion is linear (which makes sense to me as well when I draw the complete structure)

To think JEE prep questions would be seen by 140,000 people

Long quit SE?

@AvyanshKatiyar yes

Q: Finding final pH of the buffer solution without applying Henderson equation

A is beaker with $\pu{0.1 M}$ $\pu{25 cm^3}$ solution of $\ce{NH3}.$ B is beaker with $\pu{0.1 M}$ $\pu{5 cm^3}$ $\ce{HCl}.$ Now the solution of A and B is mixed. What will be the final $\mathrm{pH}$ of the mixture? $K_\mathrm{b} = \pu{3.3E-5}.$ I believe the mixture will become a buffer soluti...

Q: Nitration vs Nitrolysis

I am interested in nitrating an aromatic ester in a solution of dichloromethane. I found the following paper that describes creating a nitric acid solution in dichloromethane using KNO3 and sulfuric acid: Strazzolini P, et al. "Nitric Acid in Dichloromethane Solution. Facile Preparation from Pot...
