Well, she surely is, though?

I mean, really directly, she will be losing income, right?

If I were able to access a library, I'd be requesting multiple B&B books bought - far more than I can afford to buy. But I'm not doing that, because I can't go to my local academic library.

There must be many of us who can't ask for books to be bought. I would think purchases are shrinking quite a bit. I don't think we should feel guilty or anything, but we surely can't feel a publisher owes us, because we can't get to the library.

I don’t think she or the publisher owe me anything, but I did object to being chastised for a common academic practice.

I can see that. I didn't personally read it as you being chastised so much as just as reminder of the structures we all rely on.

Why even say it though? She had no reason to pick Chris and say that. He's not a child, and we all understand that people deserve to be compensated for labour. But I'm not sure that you're getting that Chris has had to deal with over a day's worth of harassment over this.

But so has Caroline? And she works hard.

Caroline chose to be rude to Chris. You may not see it as rude, but the rest of us did. She got rightfully called out for it as did all the others harassing Chris. We work hard, and we barely get paid. We also have to deal with this nonsense apparently.

No one above us in pay grade or status in academia gets to ask us to give them understanding when they show up to harass and shame us for just trying to get our theses done.

This has been a massive drain on Chris, who needs to get his work done. And anyone coming in here to cape for publishers don't seem to get just how terrible it is to get dogpiled for just trying to survive in academia right now as a PhD.

I hope Chris is ok. I will bow out now.

I won't speak for him, but this has been hard. And I can tell you that I am very upset. I don't appreciate how Caroline, Robert, Stephen, or yourself have come in here to defend publishers like it's our job to keep them clothed and fed.
