You need to look inwards for a bit. Folks here have no problem with the
idea process - they embrace and understand it. I've not had anything but
warm receptions here for anything I've ever asked. I challenged the very
foundations of mathematics once myself, but I was straightened out in
short order.

This is not why you get criticized. You get criticized because you refuse
to learn basic arithmetic, you refuse to attempt to follow logical
arguments, and you insult people.

Sure are; it's not the errors that are the problem - it's the
unwillingness to respond respectably and intelligently.

Your work is not important. It will never change the world. It will
never change mathematics.
: Why do you care at all? Why won't you just go away?
Why don't you? If your math is so fantastic, take it to a journal (a
respectable one), get it published, and then come back and rub it in our
faces.
Best,
Justin
