Why was my dissenting viewpoint in a post about diversity censored?
Then delete them. I don't think you would appreciate my response. I think I'm done here.

Why was my dissenting viewpoint in a post about diversity censored?
I think the next time something like this happens, the first move is a moderator moving stuff to chat. I might disagree with the move, but if the rationale is to anticipate a flame war and move it away from the post, I and others are more likely to forgive and even applaud such preventative action. Deletion can still occur if needed. I apologize to Noah Snyder for continuing in this thread, and am willing to avoid chat rooms where he believes certain of his comments are needed.

@Sayan, I respond with great reluctance: I want to share a forum with mathematicians and people who discuss mathematics, not politics and not the politics of exclusion. Unfortunately, MathOverflow is rife with the politics of exclusion, and I am sad that it did not develop into the idea of inclusion that I once had for it. Your remark is inciteful, not insightful, and I wish you would remove it.

Noah Snyder, your comments (here and on some other posts) seem to me antifascist enough that I am uncomfortable sharing a forum with you. I am willing to strike an uneasy peace with you by not commenting further in this thread if you will do the same (meaning your not commenting further in this thread also). I won't even assume lack of response as agreement with this; I'll just be grateful for the lack of response.

What is the best way to ask for comments on your proposed proof of some known theorem on MathOverflow?
Now, if you are willing to pay for a service, that is different. Check out my 3402 user page if, instead of risking being ostracized, you prefer to buy someone some coffee. Gerhard "Will Read Some For Coffee" Paseman, 2020.08.11.

I am not a professional mathematician. If anyone reads my proofs, it is because they are interested in the results or the methods, definitely not because of my career status. Gerhard "Worked Hard To Avoid Working" Paseman, 2020.08.11.

How about instead you ask questions within the scope of the forum? Would you rather get five minutes of attention, be told your proof is wrong and then be banned forever, or instead learn how to use the services of the forum, and possibly learn how to check your own proof?

Don't. Just don't. MathOverflow is not meant for such a service. You are more likely to alienate the help you seek by doing what you propose. Gerhard "Better To Blog Your Result" Paseman, 2020.08.10.

One person creating multiple Riemann Hypothesis-related accounts
That may not be the norm, but it has precedent. As long as the accounts are non voting or minimally so, and each individual account behaves nicely, there should be no cause for alarm. However, some of these accounts do not behave nicely. My recommendation is to flag, and then comment why the flag was raised. Gerhard "Recommends Consistent Teaching By Example" Paseman, 2020.08.08.

When are question titles auto-expanded?
Let's try it with a q instead of a questions. mathoverflow.net/q/243490 . Gerhard "Brevity Isn't Soul Of Autoexpansion" Paseman, 2020.08.03.
