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.

What part of a power dynamics are you not getting here. Chris is a barely employed grad student and Caroline is an editor of a publishing company. What does that even have to do with Chris's original tweet? I've asked this before but who told Caroline to come &change the subject?

I get that, Caroline, this response was for
@LucyAllenFWR who clearly isn't seeing the dynamics here. Yes, you should be paid, yes you are doing important work. Tell your colleagues here jumping in as though they need to defend you that that isn't necessary. When Chris tweeted1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

his request, he didn't need it reframed w/ an immediate reply. And let's be real here, he used a hashtag that 1000s of ppl use & this is also available on othr social media networks. Ppl coming for him, where are they when other scholars have done the same? Choose your battles.

Ok, I do see that point. But, as I say, I understood her comment in the same way I understood the same sort of reply when I first heard it - just an explanation.

Just because you see it that way does not mean that was how it was meant to come across nor does it inform how the rest of us read it. The tone seems very clear.

I do get that. But, since I read it that way, I read it that way. The tone seems clear to me too.
