You're drunk on the internet. If you stopped writing pages of pseudo
intellectual blather nobody normal gives a shit about, and stopped getting
caught up in the excitement of making pre-emptive insulting remarks you'd
get further.
Christ, these groups are like being stuck in a room full of old-school
communists and libertarians. It's just boring. You don't talk about anything
real or relevant to most people. They don't read your shit. They don't visit
these newsgroups.
Sober the fuck up dickwad.
Please allow me to prove to you, using simple mathematics, that pi is
actually greater than four.
Yes, we have been misled all our lives and here is the proof.
We all know pi to be equal to the circumference of a circle divided by
it's diameter.
So then let us derive pi using this simple formula to understand the
truth.
Step one, draw a circle around the earth and measure it's
circumference. A measurement of acceptable precision is a fraction
over 40,075 km, as defined by the IAU (International Astronomical
Union) in 1976.
We also know the radius of this circle; In 1791, the French Academy of
Sciences defined the metre to be one ten-millionth of the length of
the Earth's meridian along a quadrant, that is the distance from the
Equator to the North Pole. This distance is therefore exactly
10,000km.
Therefore pi is clearly C / r, or 40,075 / divided by 10,000 or.. wait
for it...
4.0075.
Greater than four.
We have been lied to our entire lives by the establishment and this is
your wake up call.
But don't take my word for it. Do the math for yourself.
-
Excellent work! You seem to have proved that 1/4 the circumference of
the earth is almost exactly equal to the circumference of the earth,
divided by 4...
DT

--
Ubi dubium ibi libertas
Yes, the circumference of the circle is indeed divided by the diameter
of said circle, the north or south poles being the only equidistant
points.
It is strange, is it not, that this was never taught us in schools..
In it's place a lie of such magnitude... We must all work together to
tell the world, to do what is right. We must be men of science!

I can't tell if this guy is serious or not.
On the one hand, I don't remember him ever posting any satire of this
kind before; I don't think he is capable of satire.
On the other hand, equating the length of a meridian along a quadrant
with the diameter is just so monstrously wrong, especially since he
claims to be a teacher...
I just don't know.
If he IS serious, that is really scary. He's teaching children.
The strategy is as follows;
1) Propagate an egregiously silly post with a straight face, no emoticons to denote satire etc
2) Wait until someone writes "Are you fucking serious?"
3) Reply "You must be really dumb to believe my really dumb post."
4) Engage in an on-going flame-war until thoroughly bitch-slapped.
5) Rinse and repeat.

Measure it's circumference. Divide that number by 20, and you will NOT

looks like a flat Christian cross when unfolded and flattened, a
hypercube, when unfolded and flattened into 3-space will look like a
Christian cross, except fatter, four cubes high, with a cube on the

each on the front and back of the second-highest cube. See:

Divide and conquer?
pi works on a 2D flat euclidean surface, but it doesn't
apply on a 2D surface projected in three dimensions
such as the surface of the earth. On a flat surface, the
sum of the angles of a triangle always is 180 degrees.
But on a positively curved surface, all triangles will
have more than 180 degrees, and that sum will differ
with the size of the triangle. (To a theoretical maximum
of 90+90+359.999... = 539.999... degrees.)
If the pole is the center of a circle, and the radius is
a line perpendicular to a circle on the earth, the radius
(or diameter) will have no established ratio to any circle.
From north pole to the equator, the ratio will increase.
But from north pole to south of the equator, the radius
will increase as the circle gets smaller.
Congradulations. In Feynmann's classic "Curved Space" lecture, he
proposes the 'hula hoop' method as a reliable way to tell if the earth
is flat or a sphere (i.e. if the space is curved) and then he extends
the example into three dimensional space and explains how to use a
sphere to tell if space around you is curved. It was fascinating.

That's true. I am sure primitive men would have known the earth was a
sphere precisely due to calculations like this. Anyways I'm a little
disappointed that we didn't speak of flatlanders more - which IIRC
came from the feynmann lecture in the first place ;0)

I suppose my post came several hundred years late. The fundamental

Since you use 40,075 km as the circumference, you assume a circle at
the equator. (Over the poles it would be 40,007 km)
Why do you use the arc from the equator to the pole along the surface
of the earth and call it the radius?
Besides, pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference to the
*diameter*, not the radius of a circle. The diameter of the earth at
the equator is defined by the IAU as 12,756 km (from one point on the
equator to the point exactly half-way around that circle). Divide
40,075 by 12,756 and you get ........

Pi isn't 4. If you knew even a little about topology, you'd know that the curvatures that create
triangles with angle sums > 180 also 'stretch' all the *other* gradients, so the *ratios* remain
constant. Same with a circle, thought you might have worked that one out for yourself.
But it's a nice little troll you got goin' on here; do carry on.....
GDS
"Let's roll!"
Not so fast, N.I.P. You cannot draw a circle (let's just say at the
equator) with radius r from some arbitrary point on the earth (let's
just say the north pole) then take some arbitrary OTHER distance as
the radius of the circle, such as the point p at the center of the
earth. We didn't draw a circle with radius r from the center of the
earth, we drew a circle with radius r from the north pole. This radius
is 10,000km. Not the 12,756 distance you conveniently substituted, a
distance which has nothing to do with drawing a circle from an
equidistant point on the earth, in this case from the north pole.
Anyways you're right I made a mistake. We need to divide the 40,075km
circumference by 2*radius, or in this case 20,000km. My mistake; pi is
exactly 2. Doh. Well at least my error was within an order of
magnitude.

No, you're just lying. What you're doing is printing malicious libel,
it is very different from simple tort. With malicious libel, I don't
even need to prove damages of any kind whatsoever. It's considered a
form of fraud. If I were you, I'd look it up.

See, that's fine - You can ask me to suck your hairy white ass and
call me a bitch all you like. That isn't the problem.

You proudly boast that your name isn't Oliver Richman, so please explain how anyone can libel a
fictional character.

Of course there are, but a screen name is just a screen name, and no libel can flow from that.
That you choose to work where kids get beaten is something you should struggle with, if you have any
scruples.

It is something I've never spoken about from such a standpoint, mainly
because I don't want to comment on my goals at work and so forth.
Let's just say there are a lot less beatings going on around here.
Keep in mind i'm just one man facing an entire cultural system and
over 100 other teachers and staff. They don't like me because of my
methods. But again, the school where I work used to be famous for
really beating students and that has declined a great deal over the
past few years. More I can't really say.
It is a different perspective, I suppose. One man might leave in
disgust, I choose to effect a positive change in the world. Who is
better? Each follows his morals and does what he believes is right to
create a better world.
-
Yes, from a legal standpoint, and good luck trying to initiate a multi-jurisdictional libel case
against a screen name. And even if your real name is Oliver Richman, any defendant would simply
provide your posts wherein you denied it being so.

Herbert Zetlin is his real name and he used it for a very long time
right here on usenet. He may even still use it on some newsgroups.
> And even if your real name is Oliver Richman, any defendant would simply

Again, that is not the information I have received. Herbert could be
slandering mary poppins for all the court cares, if I am known at work
as Mary Poppins I have a case. Keep in mind, malicious libel is quite
different from "regular libel". I do not need to prove damages of any
kind. That he wrote the words repeatedly, especially after being asked
to stop, is all you need. Although the more he does it, the easier the
case becomes. Again it's been discussed to death here already so I
don't see a need to get into it.

He can also call you a liar who beats children; and there ain't

Insofar as he admits he beat children, it is not defamation. However,
defaming someone operating under a pseudonym is not permissible simply
because of the use of a pseudonym.
> He can also call you a liar who beats children; and there ain't

Is beating children wrong?
Trav
If they are fists in your wife's snatch, in all probability, yes
Trav
Permissible or not, he's going to have a hell of a time convincing a
court that his anonymous persona has been defamed; especially when the
defamer is also anonymous and in a different country. Good luck with
that one.
Besides, in this case the claimant is incapable of further defamation.

> Is beating children wrong?
Depends what you mean; in the sense that you can call someone a "child-
beater" it has negative connotations. If you slap their wrist that's
hardly beating but you could still use the word. Doubtless if it ever
came that far the slimey fuck would use whatever lying defense he
could get his hands on, of course, of course. But yes, it's wrong to
beat children, at least in 30 states.
Especially in schools. Following is the law of the state of Virginia,
as an example of course :)
(Now, I'm not a lawyer, but it sure sounds to me as if it is against
the law in Virginia for teachers to beat schoolchildren. Therefore
repetitively stating that I beat children is a crime in and of itself.
I'm sure you're more familiar with law than I am, being a lawyer, so
feel free to comment on this as much as you like, I won't be doing
so..)
State of Virginia:
� 22.1-279.1. Corporal punishment prohibited.
A. No teacher, principal or other person employed by a school board or
employed in a school operated by the Commonwealth shall subject a
student to corporal punishment. This prohibition of corporal
punishment shall not be deemed to prevent (i) the use of incidental,
minor or reasonable physical contact or other actions designed to
maintain order and control; (ii) the use of reasonable and necessary
force to quell a disturbance or remove a student from the scene of a
disturbance which threatens physical injury to persons or damage to
property; (iii) the use of reasonable and necessary force to prevent a
student from inflicting physical harm on himself; (iv) the use of
reasonable and necessary force for self-defense or the defense of
others; or (v) the use of reasonable and necessary force to obtain
possession of weapons or other dangerous objects or controlled
substances or paraphernalia which are upon the person of the student
or within his control.
B. In determining whether a person was acting within the exceptions
provided in this section, due deference shall be given to reasonable
judgments at the time of the event which were made by a teacher,
principal or other person employed by a school board or employed in a
school operated by the Commonwealth.
C. For the purposes of this section, "corporal punishment" means the
infliction of, or causing the infliction of, physical pain on a
student as a means of discipline.
This definition shall not include physical pain, injury or discomfort
caused by the use of incidental, minor or reasonable physical contact
or other actions designed to maintain order and control as permitted
in subdivision (i) of subsection A of this section or the use of
reasonable and necessary force as permitted by subdivisions (ii),
(iii), (iv), and (v) of subsection A of this section, or by
participation in practice or competition in an interscholastic sport,
or participation in physical education or an extracurricular activity.

Oh, so if people at work know me as mary poppins, and someone issues

YOU persist in making irrelevant statements and being pig-ignorant about both facts and law.
No one writing on usenet under a psuedonym has EVER succeeded in bringing a successful cross-border
libel case, and nor are they ever likely to. ANY lawyer will laugh you down hard if you even ask.

Pretty much the same.

Well here's how it works....
Let's say *you* did that.
So I go to my lawyer and tell him, and the conversation goes something like this.....
"So who is saying bad things about you?"
"A guy called Oliver Richman."
"Is that his real name?"
"I dunno - I've not bothered to scope him."
"Did he use your real name in the offending post?"
"Uh, no....Greendistantstar"
"Where does Oliver Richman live?"
"In Beijing"
"You mean, in China?"
"Yup."
"So you'd like me to initiate legal proceedings in China from Australia, for a guy who may or may
not be legally named 'Oliver Richman' for libelling the pseudonym 'Greendistantstar'?
"Yeah."
So see how fucking stupid I would have to be?
See how fucking stupid YOU are to even suggest such a nonsense?
And if you used my real name (which is hardly a secret to any reg here) I'd certainly not bother
with a fucking lawsuit.

Finally pls keep in mind I am not after damages, although IIRC the

"fucking stupid" at all.
In that regard I'm bound to ask him to stop, at least occasionally,

And what law has been broken? Whose law? Chinese? Gonna try and enforce a Chinese law
wherever Hez is? Or enforce a law in Hez' jusisdiction *from* China? One pseudonym is going sue
