I'm referring to this question, <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/125528/the-closed-form-of-sum-k1-infty-left-frac23-rightk2-frac3k2">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/125528/the-closed-form-of-sum-k1-infty-left-frac23-rightk2-frac3k2</a>, which was closed as "blatantly offensive".

I saw no edits, and the worst thing about this particular question was OP's peculiar insistence there had to be a closed form, and maybe a mild tone of impatience about the time OP was waiting for an answer over at MSE. But how is it blatantly offensive?

(Another question from OP seemed more obnoxious, as various versions of the question seem to be "baiting" mathematicians. (Incidentally, I didn't see an easy solution to that other question, having to do with $\int_0^1 x^{x^x} dx$, although it's easy enough to get confirmation from Mathematica that that's greater than $\log \sqrt{\pi}$.)

I don't know that the question is blatantly offensive, but the
tenor of the comments following does not mollify; the choice of
reason for closing is a bit exaggerated, but using it to say
something about the appearance of attitude meets with my
approval. Then again, I'm in a mildly cranky mood today.

Re the question, did anyone consider setting t = 2/3 and
looking at the kth summand as sum j=k to inf t^jk ?

As a sidebar, I agree (for the Nth time) with Todd's sentiment that "the quality of questions on average seems to be going downhill as MO gets older" and want to (for the (N-1)th time) repeat that material from the level of second year of grad school up should be on MO as a rule of thumb. There are questions on MSE that belong on MO and vice versa.

Thank you, Francois (or François).
