Well there's a serious problem on this newsgroup with people who don't
understand the idea process.
Brainstorming.
It's been around for a while but you people act clueless about it.
So I talk about having a lot of ideas where usually they don't pan out,
and get what? Criticized.

Errors are part of the discovery process. Errors are part of
brainstorming.
If you act like every single little idea is the grand great idea for
all time that will shine like a bright light throughout the world, then
you will waste a lot of time.
If you worry about every little mistake, then you will waste time.
You people betray your own inconsistency by caring more about my
mistakes than I do, and then claiming that my work is not important.
Why do you care at all? Why won't you just go away?
Psychological issues of your own are why.

Like a comment like that is surely meant to be negative in some way.
But it is actually childish though you accuse me of whining like a five
year old.
When it comes down to it, I post about various mathematical ideas I
have on a math newsgroup.
And you know what? That's what Usenet is supposed to be about, and
freedom of speech is supposedly important.
I've gone on about this before, how posters here do not even bother to
hide that their agenda is controlling how I post, or actually trying to
stop me from posting at all, as if freedom of speech were just a
phrase.
What's strange is that though they've failed, year after year, after
year, after year, they keep at it, and then call *me* crazy.

Yeah right. At least you can end without some empty platitude as if
you are actually a polite social being when your own posting just
showed that you flout group rules as you see fit.
Usenet is an arena where people can post about their ideas.
It's not part of the bargain that some people take it upon themselves
to live out their anti-social control fantasies by hounding one
particular poster, year after year, after year.
