I have been censored and kicked out of LinkedIn after decades :-)

I need to inform my many followers, who are probably wondering why I disappeared from LinkedIn.
I am not actually dead already, even if not so young
I have been a LinkedIn user for decades. (Actually probably one of the first users.)
With thousands of connections and several groups created.
In particular, I have created (among several others) also 2 specific trading groups (one of which is dedicated to Interactive Brokers users specifically). These groups had several thousands of users each.
I have also been keeping, for years, detailed trading journals there - as I do here on Elite Trader - even with difficulties, because their layout, unlike this forum, imho is very poor at presentation, and very difficult to place pictures and explain things in detail (as you need for a trading journal/diary).
Over the years I have also contributed with innumerable posts. Always professional and polite, even when expressing criticisms.
Now, coincidentally after some criticisms on my part about the insane AI hype and propaganda (Bing, etc.) and some criticisms (always polite and well-argued on each point) about Jim Simons, I have been kicked out of LinkedIn, and all my data and profile erased from view.
Thank you, Satya
(If I remember correctly, I also read several posts on LinkedIn affirming you are a genius)
For the sake of transparency, let's report some sentences from Wikipedia about LinkedIn:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkedIn
"
In June 2016, Microsoft announced that it would acquire LinkedIn for $196 a share, a total value of $26.2 billion, and the second largest acquisition made by Microsoft to date. The acquisition would be an all-cash, debt-financed transaction. Microsoft would allow LinkedIn to "retain its distinct brand, culture and independence", with Weiner to remain as CEO, who would then report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
False and misleading information[edit]
LinkedIn has come under scrutiny for its handling of misinformation and disinformation.[194] The platform has struggled to deal with fake profiles and falsehoods about COVID-19 and the 2020 US presidential election.[195][196][197]
Perkins lawsuit[edit]
In 2013 a class action lawsuit entitled Perkins vs. LinkedIn Corp was filed against the company, accusing it of automatically sending invitations to contacts in a member's email address book without permission. The court agreed with LinkedIn that permission had in fact been given for invitations to be sent, but not for the two further reminder emails.[86] LinkedIn settled the lawsuit in 2015 for $13 million.[87]

lol as if the LinkedIn c-suite has ever heard of this moron. Delusions of grandeur from a dude sitting in a clocktower.
@Baron
Dear site owner, I am wondering if it is time to take some measures with this user.
He is calling me a moron. Is this repeated behavior acceptable?
He is never constructive, and his only purpose here seems to slander and insult people with all the most demential arguments.
He is also spreading a very bad culture about the essence of trading.
More importantly, he is literally stalking and harassing me on every thread, even on weekends and I would like to be able to work too, as I have many ongoing projects and creations.
I wonder if it is possible to do something to avoid him transforming any discussion of mine into a circus of madness and hate. And the same goes for his accomplice overnight.
Thank you for your consideration.

None of my threads have been closed by management. Hmmm.
Brother Gastaldi, if it's any consolation... you never had a chance.
My only complaints:
Changing a user's quote when replying and that he was doxxing this Duane individual, which you had corrected in an earlier post as well.
Thank you, @Baron. Personally, I would simply like to be let alone discuss my projects, without being insulted and stalked continuously, and called by my real name by some anonymous.
I never went after anything from this User called "Destriero". Also because the way he trades for me is meaningless and leading nowhere.
He is the one who has started chasing me everywhere, stalking and massively harassing me for no reason, inventing all sorts of most defamatory things.
I am an institutional figure and even a public officer (in my country) after all. Even if someone anonymous likes to insult me at least should keep me anonymous without continuously repeating my real name followed by insults. So all remain at a virtual level, and actually, nobody cares.
You cannot, hiding in complete anonymity, invent slanders and defamatory fantasy arguments about a real person (arriving to even forge CFTC correspondence about my real persona). I am a public figure and person who has been doing research all his life in various fields (including algorithm trading). This is not acceptable, IMHO

I guess you brought this upon himself. You called him a lot of names, too. So I guess that's on you. You can always put someone on ignore/block if you don't like what they have to say
But I concur that this @destriero self-moderation thing is not working at all. I strongly assume @Baron knows that but let's it slide because destr at least brings a good amount of non-linear knowledge to the table.

I did not start it. And I am not anonymous in his insulting.
There is a big difference. I was trying to discourage and avoid his totally unjustified personal assaults.
I tried in all possible ways: from legal threats to jokes to responding to the insults (which btw will never be on the same level because he is addressing anytime my real name) and making further jokes. Insulting, as a defense, an anonymous digital avatar is no crime.
Nothing worked.
Insulting a real person, in a reputable position, and imputing him (even with forgery of government documents) with various sorts of fantasy illegal activities are all other matters.
If you wish to surreptitiously put me and him on the same level, I cannot follow you. You can trade as he trades if you like and if you believe it makes some sense. Then, let me know in 10 years how it went.
I really do not care. I never went to comment on his trading before his unjustified assaults. His existence is totally irrelevant to me for various reasons: 1) I sincerely and personally believe he is a clueless compulsive gambler who will never rise above a long-term zero. What he is bringing, IMHO, is just a gambling approach masked by incomprehensible (largely invented) jargon 2) I have a lot of experience with students and I can evaluate people pretty accurately 3) I have other people and projects to take care of.
I am minding my own projects and explaining transparently what I do. I am fully transparent and I make anything available to anyone to see with their own eyes, and for free, whether it actually works or not.
I am a serious researcher, in case you did not notice. That is all. I certainly do not like some random anonymous on the web, who does not know me and has no idea of algorithmic trading (on which I have worked for more than 25 years now), calling me a scam or addressing me with racist insults (Tommaso Rigatoni, etc.), puppy molester, fraud, moron, or similar.

I might be wrong but I thought to remember that you opensourced a C# genetic optimization algorithm a while ago which I used for some time. Is that you?
