The drains have backed up again

Hopeless response

I receive a lot of unsolicited email from predatory publishers. Most messages are simply too unremarkable for comment. Some are amusingly inept in one way or another. Few actually piss me off.

And there's something about the brazen presumption of Stephanie Alexis' Hopeful Response that does just that. She needs one article, within a week, and she intends that it be mine. Whether or not I have anything relevant to submit, and whether or not I have any interest in her gutter e-rag. She may well be pleased to inform me, but that pleasure is not reciprocated. (angry)

I realise that this same message is spewed out to everyone on her shitlist, in the hope that some gullible halfwit is flattered enough to think that they're special. But that's not the point.

The point is that these people are the bottom-dwellers in the pond. They publish work that couldn't get published through reputable outlets—work that shouldn't be published at all—because their peer review is either non-existent or just subservient to their main objective. They demean the scientific knowledge base. And they do it solely for financial gain, without care for scientific integrity. Actually, I don't think that they even understand the concept of scientific integrity. (mad)

They're no better than sex workers, really. Although at least sex workers leave their Johns with a happy smile on their face. (prick)(bigsmile)
