| May 24, 2019 at 16:57 | comment | added | Will Sawin | @kartop_man If OP never accepts an answer it will cause some small trouble in the system - people looking for questions to answer will see it, while people looking for already answered questions might not, and the Community user will automatically keep bumping it up to the top. But I guess if you want more people to read your answer that would be a good thing. | |
| May 24, 2019 at 16:55 | comment | added | Will Sawin | @kartop_man When writing an answer, especially an expository answer for a newer mathematician, it can be helpful to imagine the specific person you are writing it for, rather than the abstract 50 other people who will probably read it. If you know that this person will never react, it could be disheartening. This at least explains why someone could be motivated, if not certifying the correctness of reacting this way. | |

| May 23, 2019 at 19:46 | comment | added | user140765 | To put things in context, assume the OP is a Martian who was connected to our Internet to halt the progress of science on Earth. If we react like that to their actions, they have kind of succeeded in their mission: because (a) if somebody else asks the same question, it will be closed as a duplicate (b) you do not want to post an answer because the OP is a jerk. So this piece of knowledge can not be disseminated via this channel. | |
| May 23, 2019 at 19:24 | comment | added | user140765 | @StevenLandsburg I don't understand your motivation. I think it is safe to assume that if you post an answer at least 50 people will see it within 3 days (probably twice as much). Out of these 50 people, only 1 is the OP, that is 2% of all people who would benefit from your answer. Is the sole reason you are withholding the answer is that the OP is being a jerk? Or do you want to get the reputation for an accepted answer? Not that there is anything wrong with that, just want to clarify. | |

| May 23, 2019 at 0:57 | comment | added | Steven Landsburg | Given your substantial history of ignoring comments and not acknowledging answers, I'm going to refrain from posting my answer to this one. | |
| May 22, 2019 at 22:15 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | This doesn't address your question, but given the different unregistered accounts you keep opening mathoverflow.net/users/140276/m-for-motive mathoverflow.net/users/140971/m-for-motive mathoverflow.net/users/140978/m-for-motive mathoverflow.net/users/140961/m-for-motive would it not make sense to register a single account? | |
