User blog comment:PsiCubed2/To Alemagno, Rpakr and others: I came here to do googology/@comment-32697988-20181023105636/@comment-30754445-20181024125827

Hi, Edwin.

While it is true that teaching others is also a learning experience for the "teacher", this assumes that the "student" is genuinely interested in learning. There's very little I can learn from biting the bait of a troll whose main purpose is to create confmusion and waste our time.

Besides, I have ample opportunities to practice my teaching skills and googology skills elsewhere. GWiki is not the only place in the entire universe where people come to learn things.

BTW,

It is virtually impossible to decide, with most of these "newcomers accounts", whether they are Edwin sockpuppets or not. A small portion of them are obvious (like the one I'm responding to right now), but the rest are far more difficult to test.

The only reason I'm 100% sure that there are plenty of more Edwin puppets than those that I already know about, is by looking at the sheer number of new users that came here since Feb. 15. There's simply no way that our wiki suddenly became so popular, especially not the way it looks right now. No... f***-ing... way.

Unfortunately, even though these stats paint a very clear big picture, they are completely useless in telling us the status of a specific username. We still do know, however, that the vast majority of newcomers here are suckpuppets. I'm willing to bet my life that this percentange is over 80%, and given these odds, it would be utterly insane to engage any of these people in serious conversation.
