The poster lies repeatedly. I've argued with this poster for some
time and noted the lying, and the gender lying is just another example
of a trend.

Some people don't like being lied to, and take it seriously.

My position is that I can explain in detail, and with very simple
concepts how my argument works, but that mathematicians might believe
they have lots of reasons for avoiding the truth--all social ones.

Unfortunately, they are aided by the poster who manages to maintain
confusion about the issues, and maintain the lie that there is any
vagueness or area of real mathematical doubt about my work, as many
people trust.

They trust that if I were right mathematicians wouldn't disagree with
me, and there wouldn't be so much opposition to my work.

So the poster "Nora Baron" can just lie for the sake of showing
opposition, which helps to create the illusion of uncertainty about my
work, helping to hide the truth from people who don't know better.

The people who are well-trained mathematicians though, they are not
fooled, and I know from my own experiences talking with well-trained
mathematicians about my work.

So what's happening now is sad in many ways, but part of it has to do
with a basic contempt for the public, and a belief that they can be
lead astray indefinitely by rather basic tactics.

I say, the strategy is about to die, and the passive-aggessive
strategy of hoping that indefinitely the public will be fooled will be
shown to be one of professional suicide.
