Yes, but unfortunately the non-existence of the universe introduces yet a third negative, since it took place after and therefore independently of your personal non-existence. This third negative, multiplied into the positive you have become...Noble Leone (US1) said:Hey Dan o Shanter, I recently had a sudden burst of philosophy, I realized that if the universe has been a hologram of sorts forever, then my deletion from the universe would have actually CREATED me, not deleted, similar too how multiplying to negative numbers makes a positive, not existing would be negative, and since i was "negative" to begin with, by "deleting myself (another negative) i would have therefore become a positive, technically still being deleted from THIS universe, but completely existing in another.
Or we could just unite to ban paradox fields and the crazy brainaches they spawn...

I, NOBLE LEONE, HEREBY BAN YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF TARTAURUS, under the charges of creating words with the deliberate intent of confusing us in order to make yourself sound intellectually superior compared to us. Does thou have any last words?

Last words?
I ban you for maliciously turning my innocent typo (an error) into a nonexistent word and unfairly inflating the total of words I made up.
The correct spelling should be "retALIatory":
dictionary.com, embedded in the definition for "retaliate", the word for which "retaliatory" is the adjective form:
[ri-tal-ee-eyt]
Synonyms
Examples
Word Origin
verb (used without object), retaliated, retaliating.
1.
to return like for like, especially evil for evil:
to retaliate for an injury.
verb (used with object), retaliated, retaliating.
2.
to requite or make return for (a wrong or injury) with the like.
Origin of retaliate
Late Latin
1605-1615
1605-15; < Late Latin retāliātus (past participle of retāliāre), equivalent to re- re- + tāli (s) such, of such a nature + -ātus -ate1
Related forms
retaliative, RETALIATORY
[ri-tal-ee-uh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee] (Show IPA), adjective"
I further ban you for twisting my innocent (if eccentric) habit of using big words and typing poorly when I'm drunk into a deliberate attempt at confusion.
And triple ban you for discrimination against the religions of neologism:*(Psychiatry. a new word, often consisting of a combination of other words, that is understood only by the speaker: occurring most often in the speech of schizophrenics.);
sesquipedalianism:(*the state of being given to using long words.) ; pleonasm:(*the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea; redundancy.) ; and logomachy:*( an argument or debate marked by the reckless or incorrect use of words; meaningless battle of words.)

Moebius refers to the Moebuis strip, a mathematical and four-dimensional curiosity
One of the most famous surfaces in mathematics, the Möbius (MeR-bee-us) strip can be constructed by cutting a long strip of paper, putting a half twist in it, and gluing the ends of the strip together. What makes this seemingly ordinary construct so fascinating is that, while the original strip of paper clearly had two sides, the Möbius strip seems to have only one. Try to draw a line on both "sides" without picking up your pencil. It's actually quite simple.
In mathematical terms, we say that the Möbius strip is non-orientable. That is, when we define a surface normal at a point, it is impossible to extend the definition to the whole surface. The picture below illustrates that by "sliding" a given surface normal along the strip, without picking it up, we can get a surface normal that points in the opposite direction. Thus any attempt to give the surface a "front" and a "back" must fail.
( from https://www.math.hmc.edu/~gu/curves_and_surfaces/surfaces/moebius.html )
So actually I only made up FIVE words, and one of those, "temporal nexus point", is actually not a made up word but a three-word phrase made up 
of words that DO have definitions:
tempora:*of or relating to time
nexus:*a means of connection, tie or link OR the core or center
point:*a narrowly particularized and localized position or place; a spot OR a specific moment in time

And if you think the Moebius (also sometimes referred to as Mobius) strip is nuts:
The Klein bottle is a closed nonorientable surface of Euler characteristic 0 (Dodson and Parker 1997, p. 125) that has no inside or outside, originally described by Felix Klein (Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen 1999, p. 308). It can be constructed by gluing both pairs of opposite edges of a rectangle together giving one pair a half-twist, but can be physically realized only in four dimensions, since it must pass through itself without the presence of a hole.

I assumed that a temporal nexus point was all on thing, not three different things. I was unaware that some of them were typo's, and assumed that if you recognized them to be typo's, then you would have edited them out. I was also uninformed that there was a religion called neologism based off of making up words in order to explain things that only the speaker understood.
Not to mention that making up four words still not ok in my book, it is pretty self explanatory that when trying to explain things to other people you should always use real words. Imagine a world where teachers at schools just made up random jibber jabber to explain how the earth revolves around the sun, now we all know how that works, but if you were a second grader who had not learned this yet, you wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about, then when you tried to look up what the words meant, you couldn't find a definition. Then the test came, and you, and every other student, had no idea how what gravity was.
And how in the world did you manage to have deep philosophical inquires while you were drunk? That's impressive.
There is nothing wrong with big words, no matter how eccentric, but just making them up instead of explaining things with real words certainly sounds to me like deliberate confusion, it was for me anyways.
Perhaps you should examine my point of view, first a drunk guy says that you don't exist because you accidentally deleted yourself from the universe. Then he explains his preposterous claims with fake words. For two weeks you were pondering your oun existence in an already fake universe. You then try to find the definition of these words, and still cannot explain how you don't exist. When you try to call him out on it, he finds every possible way to justify making up those words. But none of this changes the fact that they were made up and shouldn't have been.
I am not discriminating against your religion of making up words. I am simply defending my existence, I prefer existing, I love existing. I don't want to think I live in a fake Universe on a fake planet, interacting with fake people because some drunk person said I do. Thank you very much.

Off topic question but not really just kind of sort of:
Is anyone else having a display glitch that makes this particular thread (and for me, only this one so far) display at about twice the width of your browser window so you need to scroll back and forth to read the messages, but all other threads fit fine on the screen? Weirding me out... not sure it's big enough to need actual tech support call (since I CAN scroll back and forth easily enough) but just a bit ... strange.
