Tucker Kao is certainly a bit odd, going on about his pet 168 million sequence, and how small the hashes are from PRP tests. I will however make a few observations.
In short, I think a years ban is counter productive. |

If he is not posting be cause he can't, that is not the same thing as choosing to not post. He was asking what it would take for someone like me or ATH to run a test in the 168M range.

His mis-quoting is not a dyslexic issue. He is using the forum's quoting function and selectively removing parts of the quote without showing that there were parts left out in the middle. Again, if you had read prior posts before commenting, you would have seen this pointed out. A number of folks on this forum are dyslexic, including some moderators, and they don't abuse the quoting to change the apparent things that people say. |

There are many forums that have world experts. I subscribe to the time-nuts mailing list, which has many world experts in precision timekeeping. Many are academics, and many work on building atomic clocks in metrology labs like NIST & NPL. I have never seen rudeness of the sort seen on this forum. I have worked with a number of very bright people over the years, with this lady probably the brightest of any https://hillmanlab.zuckermaninstitut...-c-hillman-phd Take a look at her achievements, whilst in her mid 40’s, and compare to your own. But she is not arrogant like yourself. You appear to get some kick out of being rude to people on this forum, but leave them alone if they are thick-skinned enough. I know for a fact that you have had several bans over the years. If you were the only one on here like that, I would just put it down to a personality disorder. But arrogance seems the norm on these forums. The above said, I do appreciate that it gets a bit much reading about the magic 168 million range, when there’s no logic whatsoever to it. Dave |

On this maths forum you have many unknowledgable people thinking they are authorities while spouting out numerology, nonsense or, worse, a refusal to acknowledge or do something about their lack of knowledge. I find the Mersenne Forum a very tolerant place as long as one heeds the rules and the advice from the moderators. This forum even provides a space for people pursuing some whim. A question : on those other forums did you encounter cases of people flouting the rules, ignoring the advice and requests from members and moderators, and NOT being sanctioned ? |

This singular occurrence is what put him on my radar. Reading his posts more diligently disclosed that he had also persistently misquoted you, despite your telling him to stop it. And, he just kept digging himself in deeper and deeper. In addition to simply making up false "quotes," and even attributing them to posts containing nothing like them, he made lying denials about what he had done, even after being confronted with the facts. It's documented in posts to this Forum, generally to this thread. And now, having yourself disregarded the facts, you're making excuses for him. ![]() If you think my banning Tuckerkao for a year is excessive, you're entitled to your opinion. But I warned him publicly back in March 2022 that I would ban him for at least a year if he failed to quote properly. I made the warning public so that all and sundry would have an opportunity to see it, and to raise objections if they thought what I proposed to do was excessive. Nobody did. I would also point out that a lot of people who work on the Project are not, and never have been, Forum members. Anyone who wants to quit the Forum but wishes to keep contributing to the Project is free to do so. |

The ban was in 2022, now 2023;
2023 - 2022 = 1 year. Technically, it's a good time to unban) |
