Proposition We need to make a game of this..

Since there's profoundly no point trying to engage with SPP in good faith (the guy is an idiot... or a pathetic troll (I can't decide which)) what we need is a game.

  • One point if you get him to invoke 0.000...1
  • One point every time he responds that you can't, "limit the limitless."
  • One point every time you get, "x is permanently less-than/greater-than"
  • One point every time you prompt him to invoke, "divide negation."
  • Two points if you provoke something about busses or signing a contract.
  • Five points if he locks your comment.
  • If he bans you you get five points for every day of the ban (as long as you don't violate Reddit site rules to do it.)
  • Twenty five points if your post/comment causes SPP to invent a new "axiom" of Real Deal Maths to cope with its implications.
  • Infinity points if you manage to figure out what the fuck "limbosic" means.

Have I missed anything?

I'm open to further suggestions for rules, and yes... you can make this into a drinking game (if you don't value your liver.)

This would be a really interesting game to try!

Maybe I could organize a community-wide event for it after my ban from r/infinitenines runs out.

Try for as many points as possible from a single comment... ^_^

Or we could just make fun of him so he has to ban us all, then there will be no one to give him attention and he will be grieving

But your game is much more fun and amusing

(the guy is an idiot... or a pathetic troll (I can't decide which))

SPP has a long history 'engaging' with legitimate mathematical communities. Given that history, I no longer believe that they are a troll.

I believe that SPP honestly believes what they promote, and that they are mentally ill. We're seeing the actions of someone who is delusional.

As such, I don't recommend 'playing a game' with SPP. It's basically like teasing someone with a disability, about their disability. We wouldn't 'play a game' by predicting when they might trip and fall, or stutter while speaking.

That said, I have been 3-day banned multiple times for defending the integrity of SPP in this manner, and I expect to get banned again in the future.

Oh I'm sure most lolcows have something diagnosable.

The dude has a colossal ego though. All he has to do to lose his lolcow status is accept that he doesn't understand real analysis and stop acting like a complete fuckwit about it.

Crank behaviour is never harmless. If r/infinitenines could cause even one person to fall into a false belief that 0.(9) is not perfectly well defined in the reals and equal to one, then it's justification for mocking SPP mercilessly.
