| Apr 23, 2015 at 17:31 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Your last comment by the way already sounds more mathematical and to the point than the first two sentences of the 21:34 post, which talk about how experienced you are and how some papers are regarded as 'jokes', or how some paper is practically impossible for you to understand. If you would like to participate at MO, I would urge you to prune out such stuff which is not at all helpful in terms of addressing the question. | |
| Apr 23, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @RogerBagula It is irrelevant whether 'I care'. This is all about your complaint. If you care either about getting your posts undeleted or understanding why they were deleted, then consider my advice to open a new post on meta. But to repeat something already said: the usual rule is that answers should directly answer the question: it's often not enough just to say something that seems sort of relevant but falls short of actually definitively answering. (Sometimes that's OK, especially if it goes a long way towards settling the question, but such things are decided case by case.) | |
| Apr 23, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | Roger Bagula | Todd Trimble: do you really care about the Mandelbrot set and an IFS set for the border of that set? The paper in the last post discusses the Mandelbrot set border dimension as being dimension 2:space filling, In IFS terms space filling curves are very specific about how the transforms add up in their Moran dimension. So the quest for a IFS Mandelbrot set has to take that fundamental paper into account. | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Speaking more generally: mistakes are made on occasion. Now I am not claiming that a mistake was made by a moderator here, but if you feel a mistake was made and you would like your answer undeleted, you can open a post at MO meta and present your case as mathematics. Your ad hominem attacks against others may make it harder for others to summon good will towards you and your concern, but I'd say it's your best shot. Just stick to the mathematics and explain how you have in fact answered the question asked. | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 17:48 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @RogerBagula You wrote three posts on September 9, 2014. Which of those do you believe answers the question, which asked for an iterated function system for the Mandelbrot set? The last answer you gave (time-stamped 21:34) does not provide such an IFS, and so does not answer the question asked but talks about something else. | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 15:35 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | @RogerBagula: Yes the system is flawed. Every system is flawed, particularly when people are involved. I'm not apologizing for the system; I'm just trying to help you understand how it works. It's important to understand (typically before accusing moderators of wrongdoing) that answers must directly answer the question. This is an important feature of a Question & Answer site in our collective opinion. (You might be interested in reading "Stack Overflow: Where We Hate Fun".) | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 15:20 | comment | added | Roger Bagula | In the post in question I answered the question and gave the only known way of doing a Mandelbrot set iterated function system as a Mathematica program. If the moderator has problems with format, fine, but the answer is correct. I'm still working on a better way,but no one has developed one as far as I know in the fractals community. To have a moonshine type delete my answer is itself moonshine. So I asked the question. | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 15:17 | comment | added | Roger Bagula | It would appear that I hit (on the nose) a sensitive spot. Bureaucratic language of the above answer by Jon Ericson is reason enough for this question to have weight. The system is flawed and the administration knows that and lives with it. | |
