Anniversary of Luis A. Afonso's Lamentable Existence

As I was cleaning up my desktop on various Notepad notes, I
came across this little chronology of Afonso's 2005 presence
in sci.stat.math, apparently written in September 2005.

Given Luis A. Afonso's new tactics of disruption in 2006, it
seems quite a contrast.

It USED to work by simply ignoring Afonso's monologues that
he uses to entertain himself. Almost none had follow-ups
by anyone except Afonso himself.


The ANNIVERSARY of Luis A. Afonso's miserable existence in
sci.stat.math is here. Perhaps it was my ESP that prompted
me to clean out the garbage and found this piece of BIOGRAPHY
about Luis A. Afonso.

But your language problem pales in comparison to your seemingly
complete reliance to, and completely unnecessary use of, GW Basic
for the simplest principles in statistical theory and practice

In Afonzo's case, at least Portuguese and his lack of statistical
education and reliance on useless programs of his are to blame.

And history has proven that in the unmoderated USENET newsgroups,
what is appropriate and what's not is SELF-regulated. OT topics
or inappropriate topics/contents such as those posted by
Luis A. Afonzo (which rarely drew any response) eventually
disappear by the SILENT VOTE of "no response; no interest".


I end this post with some census DATA about Luis A. Afonzo's
NOISE and soliloquies in this ENTIRE month, in stat.sci.math.

Luis A. Afonzo, a Portuguese who couldn't write English
(which was completely excusable), but his ignorance in
statistics and the nonsense he posted drew no follow-up
from anyone after a few flames from me, and he had disappeared
after posting about a dozen posts with no follow-ups.

September 6, 2005

A series of completely useless soliloquy by a Portuguese
statistician wannabee whose deficiency in the use of English
is the LEAST of his problems.

The best thing anyone can to do is to IGNORE his soliloquy,
which almost everyone does.


dr.j.clark@xxxxxxxxx wrote about Luis A. Afonso:

You know, you are coming across as a jerk. Considering that I
addressed some of the issues related to your question, I would have
expected a somewhat more positive response. As such, I find you
neither humble nor attentive. As a matter of fact, I find you quite
rude, arrogant, and unattentive. This usenet group has become flame
central, and you are not helping.

dr.j., you're on target with your comment except the last sentence.
That's because you are new to this ng. Afonso is "helping" to make
this group "flame central" by being both the flame bait AND the
flamer himself -- in his incomprehensible English.

I already had Afonso characterized in this ng not long after he
made his debut in sci.stat.math:

The key is to IGNORE his posts, which never had anything of
statistical substance. This was how I put it in June, after
Afonso disappeared from getting the silence treatment:

---------------------------------------------------------------

But since after September, 2005, Afonso has learned to
provoke me into responding to his ERRORS and provocations --
that he would try repeatedly if I ignored him several
times, until I respond.

THEN,Afonso would launch into his NEW tactics of posting
different SUBJECT titles for the continuation of the same
topic, but use obscene titles like "Bob, *** YOU" or a
great variety of other derogatory or racist/slur titles.
Otherwise, Afonso is doing the same monologues, except the
LATEST (post March 2006) trick of plagiarising complete
passengers from some source that writes in English in
such a style that it is impossible to have been written
by Afonso. Luis A. Afonso signs his name to the plagiarised
monologue -- the ones appearing NOW, to trick some new
comers thinking that he actually knows something about
statistics.

It is a sad state of affairs in the much polluted group
of sci.stat.math, in which Luis A. Afonso has single=
handly provided over 60% of the NOISE and DISRUPTION.

But this is an Open Forum in a USENET newsgroup -- in
which everyone is entitled to make a damned fool of
himself, and Luis Afonso has succeeded beyond what any
other damned fool I had ever seen in my 18 years of
newsgroup participation.

What has Luis A. Afonso contributed to sci.stat.math
besides NOISE, Statistical Falsehoods and ERRORS, and
blatently DISRUPTIVE practices?
