Basically, I think this thread may have run its course... Too many things to write about, let's keep it civil and not rant on...

Your hypothesis is largely sound, and there are definitely some questions, but I still would find it pretty astounding that a ban wouldn't stop the touchstones.
I thought he didn't pass the 70% threshold, which is why he was complaining about graders slowing him down. I also thought he had to resubmit several times his touchstone papers.
But in light of this new info and if he really just complained about not getting better grading for these papers, he basically made a big fuss about nothing and he could've passed without any issues. And this whole episode wouldn't have caused him to be banned on two platforms.
However, I'm not sure whether he was aware that his papers would be graded even after he canceled his subscription.
Note: It is true that in academia left-wing political positions are more in favor. Now while Sophia is not "academia" all of their example papers leaned hard-left so it would be smart to write about nonsense the grader is likely to be sympathetic to then "fight the system" and push a different point of view. He complained about them initially grading his papers worse because of the content and I believe that to be true but that is on him.
For example instead of writing about bleeding heart environmental issues, I wrote about cleaning up litter dirty slobs leave all over the place which is something I can get behind.
I agree that this whole scenario was absolutely idiotic but many people on the spectrum don't know when to disengage and live to fight another day.
I suspect he got in trouble for using his AI slop and not for being a different political identity, since the former is cheating while the latter is just a made up right-wing grievances.
Also, did he say he was on the spectrum at all? I dont recall it, but I may have missed it.
Right-wing grievance? Really? I graduated from Rutgers University and there was a BLATANT bias against conservative students back in the early 200s, so no, it’s NOT some “right-wing grievance”.

In the early 200s? Rutgers is much older than I would have imagined! Who attended the university back in the 200s? Did they offer courses such as shaping stones into arrowheads, capturing fish with your barehands, which mushrooms are safe, deer hiding 101? hehehehehe

Good point; I forgot you had 100% spelling with every word you have ever typed in a post. If only we all could be perfect like you…

It was a joke. Don't take a forum so seriously. And I never claimed I had perfect spelling. Far from it. I still want to know what kind of courses would have been taught at a university in the 200's. Seems like survival would have been the most important thing to learn back then.

The older you get the less far away it seems. I went college in the early 2000s. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in 2006. They taught the same classes that they do now. Except going to school online is not frowned upon now as it was back then. Also, nowadays you see classes on celebrities like a class on Beyonce.

Depends where. There were advanced cities in many parts of the world at that time. But you're right, even in those places I wouldn't trade a 21st century life for a third century one.
