Literally no one feels otherwise? The problem is we DON'T have access and we need it immediately, especially since we're under deadline. By all means, if you can offer a solution that would be timely for people who need to submit things on a deadline, that would be great.

You're making an argument where one doesn't exist. No one is saying universities shouldn't provide access, and I told Caroline that if she is concerned about ppl relying on PDFs then she should advocate to universities for access.

But we can't wait for all of our universities to get access to every book we need, because it's not just me and Chris, it's who knows how many thousands of people over thousands of universities.

Also, it is very difficult to revisit work a few months later and add in all the stuff that's missing. If I need to check one page? Yeah sorry, I'm not waiting months for the library to maybe get a book I asked for.

PDFs have saved a great deal of my research and have saved me a lot of headaches. If I can get the physical books or get online access through the library I do. PDFs are a last resort. But they got me through. I will not apologize for that nor should anyone else.

And I'm not sure if you've noticed but myself and Chris and Dr MRO put pressure on terrible academic systems all the time. I have asked for books and journals to be brought in. But it takes awhile, and demand right now is much higher.

So acting like we don't think universities shouldn't give access when we have been saying they should but it isn't as easy as that, not when it's dozens of books and journals from just one person is arguing in bad faith.

And I think that you were more concerned with your friend Caroline and defending her than sticking with precarious academics. There was no comradeship here. None. Zero. And I'll say it again, everyone who has been dogpiling Chris should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm being frank because this is gone beyond ridiculous. Reply or not later Lucy, but I'm thoroughly upset, appalled, and angry to see what I've seen over the past two days.

I love how this was reframed as though anyone was 'attacking' a publisher, as though he created
