All of my posts since the first page have nothing to do with the errors that some members tryed to fix. Its their flaming, yes I was upset because I felt that the corrections should not of been posted on the first page, it should of been in PM. But because I got mad at that fact, many members started insulting the hell out of me, which I dont really care because we are all strangers who know nothing of each other.

The posting of their corrections wasn't rude, IMO. Nobody's an expert on everything, and there's always the possibility that someone could have you correct something that was not wrong or provide an incorrect correction. Other forum members' debates about correctness would have been helpful in that situation.

Also, from my understanding, you asked for corrections/suggestions in the OP. Did you specify that you wanted them to be sent through PM?

what did i miss?

1. Op posted a guide to factoring with many errors.
2. People corrected the errors.
3. The op became offended.
4. People started insulting him for the coward he is.

Nothing new, really.

Dr. Pizza and Dullard,

Please delete your posts. Your helpful criticizm and helping in fixing his errors is heartless trolling.

*sigh*, I suppose my tone was a bit strong. However, I found Dullard's post to be FAR from trolling. He asked people to find errors and immediately went on the offensive, calling them trolls, after they pointed out some of the errors. Had I been on my computer at work (I don't have Word on this computer), I probably would have done him a favor and typed the whole thing up for him - correcting the errors - and published the document for him to download. Heck, he could even have taken credit for it as far as I'm concerned... I'd have just served as a secretary. (Typing math sucks! I spend 8 hours typing my pre-calculus final exam.) Unfortunately, I don't have a LaTeX editor, so I'm stuck with the equation editor in word 🙁 Anyone know of a good free LaTeX program??

To the OP: relax a bit. You shouldn't feel like people are being critical of you when they point out your mistakes. It's called constructive feedback. If instead of calling them trolls, you had replied: "Thanks! I'll change those right away. I was tired when I wrote that 😱 " then you wouldn't have received a bit of flack from anyone. However, you started the flame war (make that flame minor skirmish) - if you call people trolls here who don't deserve to be called trolls, be prepared for the collective ATOT community to try to put you in your place. Never attack people trying to be helpful; I don't see how you found Dullard's first post to be anything but helpful.

You really have that much trouble with the equation editor in word? It's all I use, but then again I'm writing large research papers with it (whereas a precalc exam might not be quite as wordy). I've never heard of this LaTeX thing

Is there anything in particular you're having trouble with? There are some tricks you can use to save a lot of time. For example, if you have multiple equations that look similar, you can copy-paste one and change the variables appropriately. Little shortcuts may help you get done in 4 hours instead of 8
