I'm sorry to do this since you edited your post, but here's what your post looked like when I first saw it. I cast a downvote, and I want to clarify why I did that.

"Because I can't tell if `Pauan` is human or not, I'd like to define exactly how `Pauan` arrived at this answer in the community-managed fork of Arc. Is this possible? (yes no)."

If I understand you correctly, you're asking if we could please open-source Pauan (or a subsystem thereof) for the sake of future development and discussion. No. Please don't undermine the voices of people on this forum.

- You're asking an in-depth question about someone in the third person, when they're right here to explain.

- It seems to me you're discriminating on the basis of someone's involuntary implementation details, without any obvious and respectable reason.

- You're suggesting to "define exactly" something which may be an essential secret ingredient in someone's appearance of individuality. As far as I'm concerned, you might as well suggest we zap someone's brain or hound them with paparazzi.

If you're conducting some kind of experiment in the design of cultural conventions, I (for one) don't yet understand and trust you well enough to play along. Would you mind introducing yourself in a more boring way for a while?

It's fine. We're talking in private now, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Also, it's time that I leave the Arc Forum. You all are free to follow my projects on GitHub (https://github.com/Pauan) and can e-mail me at pcxunlimited@gmail.com

Thanks for both the good and bad times.

Thanks for the apologies. As for me, I wanted to stop you from getting carried away and potentially causing harm to people, but I'm sorry if I've given you a bad experience in the process.

I had seen that blog post of yours. I also particularly noticed this tweet you retweeted, which aptly summarizes a common theme between your blog and your Arc Forum posts:

https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/341252234878795777

  Founders: What are you doing right now? Is that thing a 10X
  improvement or a 10% improvement? Always work on 10X. Every
  minute counts.
This kind of mindset can be encouraging, but it seems like it's causing you negative stress. If so, I hope you can set aside some extra time for other things you like to do, even if they feel unproductive. I don't know if those things will be remotely on-topic for Arc Forum, but feel free to bring them up if they are. :)

Yeah I saw those and remember thinking they were nothing like his writings here.

Last night he started email-bombing me and others all sorts of irrelevant statements about google support, venture capital and whatnot. From midnight to 3am yesterday I received 27 emails from him. (I haven't read them all.)
