Reply #24: Bother to fucking

Concerning citations, I am grateful for the open access postings. But you are the most demanding of all DU E/E participants, and you frequently post without citation. I have read every paper listed here that has been in debate, even if I have had to go looking for it, providing I have been able to get it. Your Yablokov spam is still inaccessible for less than $150, and Jacobson's Survey was unavailable for months.

When you hold others to a high standard, you have no right to complain that others expect the same from you.

You can make restricted studies available to select discussants without charge, per Fair Use. If you have a server for binaries, zip the file with a password, upload it, then post its location and password here. Or, offer it in e-mail by request. If you can't do that much, then all you are doing is flaunting your privilege.

The rest was just more of your usual stiff-necked bluster. No one is conspiring against you or "coordinating" -- I know we've (the five of us? six?) read the paper because we are able to refer to its arguments intelligently. You're not "reply(ing) in kind", you're lashing out at posts categorically, based on who posted what. And stop with the mind-reading act, telling me what I think. Not only is it a vulgar habit, but you've been consistently wrong. You don't know what I think and you do not appear to be inclined to listen/read/inquire.
