1 Explanation of the Format
The vast majority of the abuse is coming through the site Quora, which is a question-and-answer site,
like a very posh version of Yahoo Answers. I am a prolific contributor to the site, writing 5 or 6 articles
(or answers) per day.
Quora has an inbuilt method for other users to notify authors of typos or mistakes in their work, called
the Edit-Suggest system. The system allows another user to overwrite the work of the original author
with their own improved version and the system then sends a notification to the author asking if they
would like to accept the edits.
If the edits are accepted, the new answer replaces the old. If they are rejected, the answer remains as-is,
but the suggestions are still able to be seen in the public edit logs.
The way this is displayed is through a diff format, familiar to anyone who has used version control in
large scale projects. The new text provided is in green, whilst content that has been removed is in red
An example of this is shown:
Figure 1: An example of a good edit suggestion
I mention this because this is the primary vector for most of the abuse I have been receiving, and the
unusual format can make it slightly hard to read (it sometimes has my original work stuck straight in
the middle of it)
Because of the unusual way I have been receiving the abuse, it will be listed in the chronological order
of the answers each suggestion was made on (some answers have multiple abusive edits made)

Figure 3
The text is somewhat fractured here, put together it reads:
What is wrong with you?

What the flying fuck is wrong with you?
Ive been polite enough keep my issue with you within Quora. But youre beginning to give
me reasons to take this outside Quora. What are you going to do? Complain to
moderation and have me banned? When did that ever stop me? Moderation has no powers
outside Quora. Thats where your driving me.
Now I am not going to push offensive pictures to your girlfriend or mom. Oh no no no.
Those are purile. I am going to do something more sinister. And make you weep. You have
no idea what Im capable of.
But it doesnt have to come to that. Its very simple. You edit out all the things you wrote
about Mike Cavedon and apologize to all the crackpots you critisized. And well go our
separate ways.
What youve written about Mike Cavedon is public defamation and must be compensated.
Youre mathematically intelligent,Ill give you that. But are you situationally ntelligent? If
you are youd do what I say: edit your answers and apologize. Or else. . .

Figure 4
Text reads:
Youve always been a fool Jack Fraser. You have never said anything thats correct about
physics. And you have the audacity to criticize other physicists?
Your writing about Mike Cavedon is public defamation and must be compensated. You need to
edit those out and apologize. Apologize to Mike Cavedon and all the other crackpots youve
criticized.
This is your final warning.
