I *do* address "corrective postings" by which I guess you mean people
critical of my work, but posters cheat, as you're cheating now.

I don't claim to answer every single one as a lot of people reply to
me, and I've covered the main points more than once.

But just so you can't try to hide behind that basic fact--that I don't
reply to everyone who offers up a criticism--I'll mention a pertinent
case where I replied in detail, several times to one poster.

Recently I challenged "Nora Baron" to actually talk about the argument
in my paper Advanced Polynomial Factorization versus talking around
it.

That poster actually this time tried to answer, and requested I detail
the argument, and I did.

I repeatedly asked basic questions of that poster, like whether or not

uf, uf and 3x + uf

were the terms constant with respect to m of key factors, which when
f^2 is divided from P(m) become

u, u and 3x + uf

and how it was possible that such a thing happened.

That poster deleted out all the specific questions that would have
shown objections to be specious.

That was done twice, and the second time that poster deleted out
everything I'd said!

Now then, how exactly do you suppose that can happen and then you come
back to claim I don't answer objections?

I'm curious, if you believe you are a rational person, what is your
answer to that specific case?
