@AmateurMathGuy Gross.

thanks! that was fun guys

...?

@AmateurMathGuy Any time!

@amWhy I'm kinda confused as to what's going on o.o

@SimplyBeautifulArt they came here to complain (see Amateur's first post on this page) about a comment/ response to him/her regarding the (in)quality of their answer on a specific question.. They received a response. Then, what I take to be sarcastic, while departing s/he posted their second comment. Not a happy camper. that's all.

It was a response to a comment Did left, and not about any up/down/delete votes on main mse. Nothing juicy to say, just a run-of-the-mill encounters in comments etc.

@SimplyBeautifulArt Is that what you were/are asking about? (last 2 comments of mine). 'Cuz I would be confused if you referring to something else. (See the elaborate cited source above, from AmateurMathGuy.)

@SimplyBeautifulArt Your welcome!

If I may add, I objected to @Did's comments, for non-constructive critique, and I await his model post for a better answer to said question, so that as I continue to use this site, I may better answer future questions by modeling my answer format after @Did. And If my answer is so bad, I invite you accomplished mathematicians to downvote and delete it.

My assumptions about MSE are that variety is appreciated, and the answerer may answer in his/her own style, and if a critique is made, then it should be substantive and not about a matter of taste. Am I wrong or am I right?

@AmateurMathGuy You need to lighten up a bit, @AmateurMathGuy. Virtually anyone, everyone who comments intends to help improve the post; most are reluctant to take it upon themselves to do the improving. So instead, you may be offered suggestions, critiques, to give you more eyes in reviewing a post. They are not to be taken as personal insults. I know that it can be tough to not take things personally (I know that very well, in fact).

But the best advice I have for you at this moment in time is to realize comments respond to a question, or an answer, or a comment. Any critique you may find, unless it is obscene/offensive, etc, is about those items, and not about the asker, answerer, etc.

@AmateurMathGuy Whom do you think you can fool? Are you aware that previous versions of answers can still be read on the Revisions page? So, if you think that putting in bold for you the only sentence in your post that was somewhat addressing the question, thus enhancing your post (an enhancement you took care to keep), is "non constructive", you should check the meaning of the word. (...)

@AmateurMathGuy (...) Re your childish insults, thinly veiled or not, in comments on main now deleted or here, let me just say this: if really you were interested in posting better posts, you would keep quiet and read "model" posts by others and try to emulate them. Instead, you are just running amok everywhere, making a fool of yourself. Too bad.

Ok well, I was a little snarky to be sure. Still standing by on that better answer though. And my question was is variety accepted on MSE or not? Is someone's matter of taste subject to criticism or not? Let's keep this on topic shall we? My post, any edition of it even, was not off the mark was it?

Someone asks a question on MSE and we're all supposed to follow the format of someone? I can dish out criticism too. @Did maybe felt I was too verbose? To indirect? I gave the explanation I would have liked when I was in the asker's shoes.

Therefore @Did's critique was off topic and unnecessary, and I flagged @Did for it. I answered it the way I answered it and there's nothing wrong with it unless you can tell me something SUBSTANTIVE

@AmateurMathGuy "Therefore....@Did 's critique was ... " You haven't provided any cogent argument to employ the word "therefore .. ". Anyway, I see that all comments you made were stripped as well, and hence were certainly offensive, rude, off-topic, etc. You need to let this go. No comments left for you to complain of. Just don't get into stalking any user because you're upset; I'm not saying you are; this has been one day that doesn't look good for you; but it gives a record if you continue.

Well I see we're far apart. Anyone can critique back to anyone. @Did gave a bad comment. Therefore I flagged him

This isn't a university, this is a public forum

@amWhy Yeah, that's what I meant to ask.

@AmateurMathGuy quit it. This chatroom is not meant to be a form for disgruntled users to b**ch about other users.

Huh

@AmateurMathGuy You seemed to have left some pretty bad comments too, else they wouldn't have been deleted. Practice what you preach.

@SimplyBeautifulArt @SimplyBeautifulArt I just was responding to your comment.

Well, not sure how you guys feel about it, but...

Welp

@amWhy Anywhere you'd rather move this chat from AmateurMathGuy?

@SimplyBeautifulArt Well, I won't continue... And he seems to be responding only to Did. So I'm done, save for tonight's "quit it". I'm not even sure how to take a discussion from chat elsewhere, and even if I did, I'd not participate.

But I will continue to take note of (when a certain user seems to be following a second user and persists to admonish or defame the second user).

Anyway, probably best to simply ignore...

Rude ** because someone was rude to be, and ill curse only when someone curses at me

@SimplyBeautifulArt You're welcome to move it, too. Can't say that will work, but, hey. I'm simply $1$ reasoned with him; failing that, told him to quit it. If he persists, that's on him, and it's likely going to be on a chat mod to suspend him.

I didn't start the rude behavior , but I'll be damn sure to finish it

Well, I doubt anyone wants this chat, so straight to the trash it'll go.

Yup...flagged it. Unless you want to do the "owner" trash thing. That's fine by me too.

And if @AmateurMathGuy continues to be off-topic here, I'll proceed to kick-mute you, so please don't. This room has a goal, and its not to listen to your rants and complaints.

:40223665 Not "what part of that is your answer" but "what part of that is answering the question asked". That you felt uneasy addressing this banal query is one thing but, please, stop pretending things that never were, you are the only one who insulted others here, in deleted comments or otherwise.

@SimplyBeautifulArt Do not hesitate to move my last comment to trash as well (unfortunately, I am still a little sensitive to being described as having taken actions I did not).

← 2 messages moved from CRUDE

Please @SimplyBeautifulArt that was far too massive of a move to trash. It will likely invalidate my flag. And it gives absolutely no context wrt history. Trashing the last 90 minutes would be fine by me, but you went overboard.

@SimplyBeautifulArt Thx.

← 1 message moved from CRUDE

@amWhy Did I? Due to the few moderators entering, I assume the flags came through. I haven't flagged all of the last 90 minutes, but I took the time to move all messages related to this incident and (hopefully) none that weren't.

@amWhy With the exception of maybe that one.

@amWhy ... The point is that you want the posts removed, right? The user isn't here right now and it's unlikely they will return... if they do, and they persist, then a flag makes sense... but hours later, there's not much we can do.

@Catija According to my list of users currently in the room, said user is still in this room. Of course, could just be chat not working quite right.

@SimplyBeautifulArt Or they didn't close their chat window... unless you actually leave the room and close the window, you're often still marked as being in the room.

When was the last time they actually posted anything?

@Catija I flagged before anything was moved to trash. When then made sense, my comment to Simply was simply to let him know (and you know) that the flag was valid, flaggable content now gone, but please don't scold me.

@Catija A little over ten minutes ago

@SimplyBeautifulArt Ugh... I find it really annoying how there's UTC in transcripts but local time in rooms, which makes it really difficult to figure out what time something actually happened.

Yeah, understandable :-(

(I just happened to know it was not more than an hour ago, so I only compared the minutes)

@Catija It actually goes back for about ~4hours ago

The transcript reads "10:18" but the local time for the same comment was actually 17:18, which is, indeed, just about 15 minutes ago... so it's 7 hours more recent than I though.

@Catija X'D

This started much earlier, @Catija. With said user accosting a regular user here in this chat for a comment on their answer. Comes back whenever the regular user here returns.... has been reasoned with recently has been warned....

@Catija In any case, the user in question that's been shadowing is here now. So he's reading everything.

@amWhy So? Even if they were chat banned that would be the case.

@Catija Stop making me the villain here. I'm simply trying to say that you have no reason to scold me for having flagged a chat mod. Just because someone subsequently trashed what I flagged. I want it gone too, yes, just no reason for making me out to be the bad "guy".

@amWhy I've done nothing to "make you the bad guy"... The messages are gone and the user is no longer posting. I'm asking what you want a chat mod to do. I'm stating the facts of the situation.

@Catija Nothing now, but at the time I flagged, the messages weren't gone, and though I could have trashed them, to trash them all I was reluctant. In any case, nothing to do for you now. In any case, my flag was valid at the time I flagged.

And i disagree.

No need to have entered the room with the first thing in your "mouth":

And if you read my earlier message, looking at the time stamps made it look like the messages were 7 hours old and then flagged.

@AmateurMathGuy You know this is the trash can, right?

I flagged when the posts from problem user were entirely unreasonable. Which I could only have known had I seen this build today.... and after trying to moderate, and then warn, and it still continued, I flagged, and I flagged a very recent comment, summarizing the build up. Any way, thanks anyway.

@Catija, This is the post I thought went too far, and so I flagged it just shortly before it was trashed. This flag was not, ever, about posts posted 7 hours ago.

Yeah I just don't back down though you know

It's true though

There should be repercussions for ANYone that's being rude. Not just the newer user.

@AmateurMathGuy Well, I asked you not to continue this discussion, so you've been kicked for a minute from this room.
