Long threads, tactics

If you look over the thread where I've been working on another paper
you'll see a good reason for creating new threads.

That one is now coming up on a 100 posts, with a lot of them coming
from people who spend a lot of their time on Usenet trying to obscure
what I'm saying.

They do this deliberately, and it's an effective tactic.

I've checked in various ways to watch interest in my work as it works
its way around the world, as I move Google search results. As I post
here Google and also Yahoo search results shift, so I watch them, and
I can sort of map how effective some of these posters are.

Real mathematicians would want to get to the bottom and find out
what's true, but these people are practiced at trying to control what
you think on the subject.

If you didn't know it's worth mentioning that Erik Max Francis, a
person who put up an insulting but popular webpage--according to
Google which ranks it now about 9 for the name "James Harris"--used to
post a lot on sci.math, and by now you should know about the
sci.math'ers who got together to send emails and censor my paper out
of an electronic math journal.

These people are serious, and they have been practicing for years, as
have I.

As of now, I do more than move Google search results, as what I say
gets read by quite a few people worldwide and it travels.

Kids read it, adults read it. People who think read what I say.
They're learning more about how even the math world is corrupted in
ways they're seeing all over the world in many places, from Catholic
priests, to businesses, to politics.

They're a new generation, and they're learning rapidly.

And what people arguing with me say, travels.

The words weave their way out from here, and I can watch the war as it
progresses around the globe, in waves, as attacks and battles play
out.

It's a fascinating struggle with me on one side and a dedicated group
of people on the other, and they're not stupid people.

By myself I have had to slowly slog through in what is basically a war
of attrition, and part of that war is moving on when a thread gets
clogged up by these people.

Tomorrow I'll be looking at Google search results again to see how
they've moved.

Now, as I've put out this latest flurry of postings, they're moving on
a day by day basis.

It's that big. The impact on the math field is like nothing that has
ever come before, and even at the fringes, like replies from obsessive
posters, the impact is already worldwide.

It's like a growing hurricane.
