&*!@ing magnets, how do they work?
A magnet (from Greek μαγνήτις λίθος magnḗtis líthos, Magnesian stone) is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials like iron and attracts or repels other magnets.
A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field. An everyday example is a refrigerator magnet used to hold notes on a refrigerator door. Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic). These include iron, nickel, cobalt, some rare earth metals and some of their alloys (e.g., Alnico), and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone. Although ferromagnetic (and ferrimagnetic) materials are the only ones attracted to a magnet strongly enough to be commonly considered magnetic, all other substances respond weakly to a magnetic field, by one of several other types of magnetism.
Some ferromagnetic materials can be magnetised by a magnetic field but do not tend to remain magnetised when the field is removed; these are termed soft. Permanent magnets are made from magnetically hard ferromagnetic materials that stay magnetized.
An electromagnet is made from a coil of wire which acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it, but stops being a magnet when the current stops. Often an electromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil.
The overall strength of a magnet is measured by its magnetic moment, while the local strength of the magnetism in a material is measured by its magnetization.
Nice copypasta.
Why do you believe people dislike you (on vent, mainly)?

It is now.
Also, why do you hate MyTie?
Because he has proven time and time again to be nothing more than a bigot. I've given him chances to prove otherwise, but every time he proves more and more hateful. He outright despises anyone who disagrees with him, generalizes entire groups of people ("4chan does bad things because they're liberal" "I find the more liberal a group is, the more likely they are to do bad things"), and is intolerant of others. He also, and this is the thing I hate most about him, pulled a sympathy leave. Even though
everyone
(or, almost everyone) hated him during his first bout here, when he pulled an "I'm leaving wowhead," almost everyone pretended they had always seen some good quality in him. People remembered him almost fondly - and when he returned, no one was upset. I was, with the exception of a few others, the only one who wondered why he had come back - he didn't make some sort of entrance, he never made a topic saying "Well, I've decided to come back, here's why," he just showed up, and people stopped caring. He's pulled these leaves many times. Many people act now like they like him, or that they think he's intelligent. A few people always thought this about him - but it's far more prevalent now that he's pulled these "sympathy leaves."
I've left wowhead more than once? Hmmmmm... don't think so. I did once, that's true. I didn't do it for sympathy. As for my political views, they are what they are. Disagree with them if you like, but drawing a correlation between a liberal area of the country and a higher crime rate isn't bigotry, whatever you want to call it.

1) 4chan isn't an area of the country
2) Drawing a correlation isn't bigotry - implying causation is.
I insulted 4chan? That's my crime?
OH THE TRAVESTY!
I now understand why you hold so much hatred, so much begruding, so much anger.... You're completely justified, due to the magnitude of my fault.

No, saying "ALL LIBERALS EVERYWHERE ARE LIKE PEOPLE ON 4CHAN OMG GLENN BECK PLEASE KEEP ME SAFE" is.
Regardless, this is a topic for me to answer people's questions. Not for me to let you know why I hate you - because I know no matter what I say, you'll think I'm unjustified. If you have a genuine question to ask me, I'll answer - but if all you're going to do is insult me, then I suggest you stop wasting your time.
1) I didn't say that (glenn beck nonsense) or anything like that. I didn't say anything about 'all liberals everywhere'.
2) If you have a
legitimate
reason to call me a bigot, then do so, but back it up, and you will be justified. I have yet to see anything though.
3) I don't care if it is your Q&A thread. You can't use that as a haven to try and trash people and expect no reprocussions. Threads are for discussion, and I'd like to discuss one of your earlier opinions of me. Specifically, I'd like to see some foundation for WHY.
