Quoted for posterity. Twid and RWHN both are expected to post both pro and con.

Of course we know how this is going to progress. ZOMG&DRUGZ&DRUGZ&DRUGZ!!!1!

Of course. We're talking about the science. We're debating the science. No room for ad hominem. We're pretending that we're scientists in this proposed thread. Perhaps if we pretend we're reviewers and it hasn't been approved for publication yet. Also, any published follow up commentary on these articles are welcome and relevant.

I am curious about how this pans out, as when Rat and I attempted this approach three years ago WHN resorted to personal attacks and impugning my friend's credentials.

No one is exempt. Not even me. If I go, "Rev, you're a retard," then that should also be vacuumed out, indescriminately, by the first mod that sees it. Personal attacks can be continued in the split thread if desired.

Like I said, given the game rules you've laid out, I'm game if you are Twid.

Any other questions or concerns to be addressed before we get to it? Because I'll start the opening post tonight even if I don't have any articles ready right away.

I do have one possible concern. This should obviously go into Techmology and Scientism, but since a majority of the articles I'm aiming to look through will be close to home (again, do to relative ease of access and being familiar with the data so I can actually discuss to some degree the collection methods), it might make two things real fucking easy:

a) people could narrow down what building I work in and who some pretty important people who know me personally.
b) could allow someone from work to find me here, aside from my supervisor who already knows I'm here, with a simple google search regarding the studies.

Now, I have no problem with people who have been here for a while knowing who I work for, hell, Nigel already knows, and even has my work email. But for a casual noob or someone who wants to be problematic...

So, would it be permissible to the mods to use OMF for this, and also to break the links with hxxp?

50 pages?

If you mean the proposed thread, that would be great if it was a purely scientific no drama thread. What's wrong with that?

It also occurs to me that due to my email signature, Nigel also knows what room my desk is in too.  :lulz:

Well, be careful.  I know there are certain things I won't post or share for the very concerns you lay out.

I could try and vary it up with studies from other Boston based universities, since we have a gazillion of them, but I think it would become obvious if I start speaking in depth about a particular article or groups of articles. I wouldn't want to have to limit myself in discussing something because it would betray knowing too much about a particular study.

Considering I was half in the bag and drunk on crazed spaggotry when we sacked TSC, I can't remember if it's possible, but is it possible to set a specific thread to be viewable only to... say Outlandish? Probably not, but worth asking.
