Edwin, I can't speak for anyone else, but I promise you on my own behalf:

If anyone here ever tries to put you down or bully you or push you around or step on you, then I will personally stand by your side and protect you. And I applaud your for writing this post and candidly speaking up for yourself.

I also want to tell you that those people who were bullying you for doing good things were stupid and mean. I've known those types myself (and been bullied by them myself).

As for your suggestion of being banned: what good would that do? Yes, you did something silly and disruptive, but it wasn't out of malice and things like that happen now and then. And the day this community starts banning regular contibuting members like yourself, will be a very dark day indeed.

Oh, and please try to remember something:

The people here aren't your typical high school students. The kind of scum which bully people for helping others don't usually hang around math wikis. And I have a feeling that you and me aren't the only people here who are sick-to-death of bullies. I mean, being a math-lover in high school is like drawing a bullseye on our chest.

I also happen to think that you and I are kindred spirits in other ways. I'm not going to say any more, other than the fact that you and I were probably bullied for many many similar things which have nothing to do with math. People like us, our mere existence seems to upset some people (which is why I'm not saying any more).

So please don't be mad at me, and please don't go away. Just try to be more careful in the future, okay?
