> I'm simply saying that giving these guys positive attention is counterproductive.

In my opinion, doubting the intension of those attitudes is not productive. Dealing with suspected beginners in a polite manner will make a community sound, warm, and creative. (And I know that here is a difference between us. You are not believing that he is a pure beginner, while I am.)

> And I gotta say that I'm quite surprised to see a math pro like yourself having such patience for people who are clearly not interested in learning anything.

We have what are called developmental stage theories. Please remember how children learn many things. They are no studying as matured people do, but they actually obtain many opportunity to learn something new for them. Even if we could not find anything that clearly ensures the tendency of active learning, they might be learning something. Please remember that generally speaking, those "study" by children look funny for matured people.

> My point is that there's a difference between things that a beginner might find exciting (like the stuff you just posted) and complete-and-utter-nonsense.

But there are as many behavious as there are beginners. Many of them look excited, but some of them might look funny for the majority due to the immatureness. I am still standing on the opinion that such attitudes are not proofs that the OP is not a beginner interested in large numbers. The OP might be just so young that he or she express excitement to googology by those ways.

> Seems to me that this example only serves to prove my point...

Isn't that a different problem? He is actually interested in large numbers, although the attitude toward study is singular.

> Do you really want people who post this kind of cr*p to be welcome here? Seriously?

I am not checking the contents of pictures or movies. I just deleted one, because it has no description, which is relevant to the article.

As long as he or she can learn what to do, the OP will be a contributor in the future. Please imagine. Children are such lives. They play fools so many years, but amost all of them will be matured people.
