User blog:Plain'N'Simple/There was a time when Edwin aspired to be a good person.

Just discovered this:

https://googology.wikia.org/wiki/User_blog:Edwin_Shade/Interesting_Things_I_Can_Do?oldid=204695

That blog post is from a month before the guy started trolling, so we don't have any reason to doubt the sincerity of that post.

So I'm going to address Edwin personally here (and I suspect many other people here will find the following helpful):

There's nothing wrong with being a math guy. There's nothing wrong with not knowing football, or with having unique interests. There's nothing wrong with being you.

You should learn to accept yourself. Love yourself as you are, instead of desperately looking for ways to get attention from other people. Trolling this wiki is not going to make you happy.

Take that piece of advice, from one math geek to another. I've had over three decades of experience in dealing with bullies and other kinds of close-minded people. And you know what I've learned? That it is best to just be me, and not give a hoot what others think.

And you should do that too. Be the person you want to be. Do you want to be a troll and a person who is generally mean to other people? Do you want to be a manipulative bastard that breaks every ethical law just to get some false appreciation?

Yeah, didn't think so.

So how about you just stop doing that? Don't to it for us. Do it for yourself. Seriously, those last two years, you've really gotten off track, haven't you? Isn't about time that you get back on track, and start living a life that you could be proud of?

P.S.

This is not an invitation for a discussion with Edwin. At least, not as long as he continues with his current behaviors. I'm sick and tired of the guy's manipulations, and I'm not interested in starting another round of drama either.

What this is, is a one-time attempt to help Edwin snap out of his foolish behavior. Can't hurt to try.

P.P.S.

Edwin could have learned quite a lot from me and my life experience, had he tried to actually talk with me respectfully rather than trying to make my stay here miserable. Once again, that is mostly his own loss.
