A guy signed up to advertise some game he likes, and got hit with hate talk.
Nothing big. Still, not a happy occurence.

It happens atleast once a month, someone with almost no posts comes in to tell us about this cool game they have found and immediatley they are labeled a bot, then it soon fades into the darkness beyond the first five pages and it's forgotten, untill it happens again.

Today is a very nice day, a bit windy but still, nice to have some sunshine, so i took a walk to some bookstores to see if they had anything by Cormac McCarthy.One group asked a bit about it, checked around and said that they unfortunatley don't have any of his works.In another one i recieved a puzzled look and a confused no.The public library was closed.Those are all the bookstores in this city that aren't selling school and office supplies.

Somehow my Ultra-Nationalistic Image Macro Thread was considered confrontational and got locked overnight after only one valid reply and a lot of 'aw shucks this doesn't look fun'. This saddens me, since I was going to lock it after only a Canadian had the manliness to take pride in his country.

I mean, that's just depressing.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I'd say it's perfectly natural to be upset.  Some quack mathematician wrote a garbage book and now his awful work is being taught to students everywhere.  And you know you could do a million times better.  Maybe you can bring it up with your professor during his/her office hours?  At least here in Washington state, USA, my professors would have been intrigued if I walked in to discuss (not rage) the textbook and how it could be improved.  Walk in with clear physical evidence, a smile, a handshake, and be ready for a rebuttal in case he or she loves that little disaster of a book.

This is, ah, one of the more popular introductory books in the industry.  Probably the most popular "non-canonical" book.

I can't complain about/discuss the textbook, because that's against the rules in the math department (too much ostentation).  What you do is quietly get a different textbook, study on your own, and proceed to show up the entire rest of the class with a naive, vaguely confused look on your face.

... This is what I am in the process of doing.

I don't mean to be hateful or imply nothing of value was done, but that thread as sort of a mess anyway. Any attempt at "Roleplaying" in that style generally leads to a bunch of crazy stuff happening with no real structure to hold it together. Everyone is working so hard to get noticed that they don't contribute to eachother and work off eachother. There needs to be a clear understanding of who is in charge of some elements of what is going on, and nobody can mess with that without permission.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

It's gotten to the point where I'm offering alternate proofs for many of the exercises, or strengthenings of the statements, or referring the reader to philosophers whenever the text gets too shady with its definitions.

*sigh*

What a MESS.
Try and survive by thinking about how much better you'll make the new textbook when you write it.

...Mathematics has an official canon?  Damn!  Don't tell me all these trigonometry functions I've been doing are fanwork...

Well, there does seem to be a lot of relationship issues between the characters. Even in grade school, there's +, -, *, and /. Seriously, don't numbers have anything else to do besides mess with each other?

No, you need infinitely many 9s.  You only have 13.  Try again.
