+2440 Response to WAT, from a post (now hidden) using a hitherto unknown personality.
Yes WAT, you are in my crosshairs –you have been for a long time –more than four years. https://web2.0calc.com/questions/i-know-this-is-kind-of-easy-but-i-m-stuck
This was back when you were embryonic. You may wonder how I knew... The short answer is the scope with the crosshairs refines an image to the genetic-molecular level. I couldn’t know which genes might become active or remain passive, but I knew the range of what the genes would do if they became active. ...and here we are. ...
As long as you are on this forum, you’ll always be in my crosshairs. You are fascinating to me; I’ve only ever read about the theories of multiple personalities in advanced psychology texts.
I don’t think you are dangerous –at least not on the forum. Your trolling offal is just irritating–sometimes very irritating. Still, this is a small price to pay for such a fine specimen.
In the real world, maybe you are dangerous. I could write some speculative fiction on the subject. I already have a title:
Gingerlock Holmes vs WAT Moriarty:
A genetically enhanced chimp matches wits with the multiple personalities of a highly intelligent narcissistic sociopath. The troll escaped from an asylum and the chimp is out of her tree.
I think the title and summary are quite funny. What do you think, WAT? Do any of your personalities have a sense of humor?

Here’s Dr. Watson’s epilog:
WAT’s absurd self-contradictions and redundancies made his life a living hell. WAT preferred to rule in his living hell rather than serve on Earth. Thought he seemed to adapt to internal conflicts through self-therapeutic venting, it was not enough. He slowly descend into a maelstrom of madness, as his contradictions closed in on him, crushing him into a mental singularity –a black hole of madness, with analogous Hawking radiation as his only means of venting. This continued until his brain shut down, ending its chemistry and related quantum processes.
...A true hell on Earth until the END.

+2440 How to verify:
*On this site: https://keybase.io/verify
Paste the PGP encoded message below in the Message to verify box, click verify.
Be sure to include the five dashes ----- preceding the header and following the footer.
*The key fingerprint: 74DE4A9184801C76 will display. This finger print will display for all messages signed my PGP key. If a different number displays, then it’s NOT my key.
*In the Signed text box will be all (or most all –emojis and stylized text (boldface, italics, etc) do not copy; the words do) the post I wrote. If the key authenticates but the text doesn’t match then a troll, namely WAT, has posted a legitimately signed message to a fake post.
*If Error:checksum mismatch displays then the message digest or the compressed, encoded text is corrupted, and fails to revert back to the original plain text during authentication.
Other information:
For this version, PGP signed messages appear to be encrypted. They are NOT! It is compressed and then encoded (not encrypted) with Base64 or a variant, which converts binary data into ASCII printable characters, which allows for transmission over any media that can send text. Decoding this is simple (if it’s text –photos require more decoding) whether it authenticates or not.
-----------
I do not plan on digitally signing many posts. It’s really not necessary for longer posts, only the shorter posts. While a digitally signed post will easily verify as belonging to the real GA, some effort and measurable intelligence from the reader is needed to prove a fake post is not mine (if any care to).
Many of the shorter posts are similar, especially the posts where I disavow ownership of a troll post. Watt copies these posts to fake-disavow ownership of posts I actually did make. He could do the same with authentic digitally signed posts too. I will need to make each post unique by identifying its location, creation time, and with other information. The shorter posts will become longer, especially with a digital signature added.
Though maybe entertaining for the moment, it’s really just a pain the ass that clutters and distracts from the post’s purpose.

Hi Melody,
This imposter, who either escaped from a loony bin, or a Scooby Doo cartoon, or both, is the forum’s original WAT (Wrong Answer Troll).
Two years ago, in this post https://web2.0calc.com/questions/i-know-this-is-kind-of-easy-but-i-m-stuck, I made the first of several comments about him and gave him the name “WAT”. I concluded that post with these comments:
One open question is how he will react to this post, assuming he sees it. There is always a reaction; it’s not always obvious.
Within a few months his reaction became clear: He creates vulgar and crude social troll posts and signs my initials. Here’s a link to one of them: https://web2.0calc.com/questions/help-please_9275. The relevant posts are invisible to the public, but you can see them, of course. This is just one of many such posts. Here are comments I made about some of them. https://web2.0calc.com/questions/hmmt-november-2021-problem-6-general-round#r4
Lately, in the past week or so, WAT has signed my initials to some of his single-line BS math answer posts, and several social posts, some written in bombastic prose, one of which is quite funny. I can deal with this “identity theft;” it’s worth the annoyance and aggravation to communicate with him –at least for now.
I post disclaimers mostly as a formality, and mainly for those who are unfamiliar with my math and social postings. I estimated that most of the long-time members and guests would recognize my style enough to know these posts are not mine, such as Ron did on this post. But because I’ve used my initials when posting as a both guest and member they have become iconic. So when most anyone who sees them on a post, GingerAle is brought to mind without regard to what is posted. Such was the case for the post above.
It’s worth noting that if I made an anonymous post within the range of my normal posting style, you’d instantly recognize me. Remember this:https://web2.0calc.com/questions/math_42782#r12 Here, you recognized me nearly instantly even though I’d made only a few prior posts. But it often doesn’t work the other way around: a single line post with an absurd answer (a troll post) in a style I’ve never used is instantly assigned to me because my initials are appended to it.
...This could be an interesting “brand” recognition psychology study.

Guest poster #1 is Mr. BB. He often answers such questions with his computer.
This question is ideally suited for a computer, and is very difficult to solve without one.
The divisor counts and the product of the divisors are correct. (It’s a little more than (34)).

+2440 No Shit! You fucking assholes. You’re the ones posting them.
The repetitious spam of adulterated AoPS questions started in the fourth week of August 2022 and has continued every day to the present. An estimated average of 17.7 postings of adulterated AoPS questions per day. These are posted by automated scripts using two or more computers (or virtual machines) with independent IP connections. The questions rotate over time, following AoPS course curriculums.
I suppose your goal was to stop AoPS students from seeking answers and solutions from outside-sources. You’ve mostly succeeded, but not completely –real questions are still asked on here ...and answered. But your bullshit spam questions have turned this place into a barren sewer. That was your secondary goal, I’m sure. But your scorched-website policy has forced non-AoPS students to wade through this bullshit –not forgetting the moderators and high-level answerers.
I highly suspect your days of spamming and bullshit will soon be coming to an end.
Once, in a troll post, I requested Admin to please bring the atomic-powered sewage treatment plants online. That was satire. Let me explain how the real sewage treatment plants will work:
A set of automated scripts will continually search for adulterated AoPS questions. When detected, the real AoPS question (with correct and readable parameters and without the imitative juvenile pleas for help) will post along with two or three detailed answers. I do not need moderator privileges –or even logon –to process sewage into fertilizer for flowering plants. If you thought this forum was an AoPS cheat-site before, you’ll see what it’s like when digital steroids are added. The cheating little brats will not even need to sign up for Alcumus, just come here. If they have a question, they only need to ask; someone will answer it.
---------
I find it very difficult to believe that AoPS staff are behind this BS spam attack. AoPS professors and teachers are among the very best mathematics (and English composition) teachers in the world. But who else would be so rabidly motivated to do this?
Web2.0calc’s forum is not the only one under attack; Brainly is too. Because of the operational nature of the Brainly site, it’s not easy to analyze the magnitude. It’s definitely there, but it’s nothing compared to the attack on web2.0calc.com. The fake questions usually disappear quickly. But some real AoPS questions have expertly-written solutions and answers that are intentionally corrupted to make them false. These are often marked as “expert verified,” even when they are very obviously wrong solutions –this happens on non-AoPS questions too. Brainly’s expert verifiers are bloody bullshitters.
