You can't ask for help on the SDMB

I’m not a moderator, unlike @Chronos, but I imagine that you could have posted the request in the Marketplace and had a better response. You’re a Charter Member so you should have access to create a thread there. Also, I don’t think your request would violate the rules in that forum, maybe if you ask him he would reopen it and move it there?

I suspect that it was your aggressive stance that got the thread closed, though.

Objections to my request and attempts to tell me how I’m wrong will be ignored when they are put in this thread. Just stop. The fact that the physics classes teach it this way does not mean it’s the real explanation.

Starting off a thread in such an authoritarian way does not bode well, which might be why he said…

But who knows, I’m not a mind-reader.
