Note that editors have suggested you do this previously, when you've disagreed with methods used in other prominent papers. I do not have the freedom to send protected data outside of our IRB approved team, but you can apply to the state of Maryland for free access as we did. 2/x

@TheNeurocyclist and I these are the folks we work with daily. I treat suicidality in this population & treat grief when that fails. Please respect those lives in the choice of tone you take in your critique.1 reply 1 retweet 6 likes -
Replying to @paulnestadt @TheNeurocyclist
Hi Paul, the senior author of the paper that we discuss here. While you are apparently free to enjoy your seniority-driven tone to the extent that your junior colleagues accept it, I do not appreciate the mentoring tone here and don’t invite advises how to further spend my time.

True, in the last months I’ve spent a lot of time on the sloppy, irresponsible, and possibly dangerous science, which is an unfortunate side effect of the c19 publication fever driven by the unprecedented attention to science. I don’t enjoy spending these long late night hours.

I spend my time on this mostly thankless activity because I *do* think that scrutiny in the public response to the widely spread careless science is very important. Twitter is an excellent tool that allows to keep up with the pace of the infodemic.

I’m definitely not looking forward to spend even more time. In particular, the excellent open reply of
@TheNeurocyclist gave me some hopes that you would do the appropriate corrections to the paper yourself – that’s always a faster and better solution.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
I’m quite surprised that you choose to build parallels to the other critically flawed JAMA paper that we criticised w/

I will of course not apply for the data of your state, see above re spending more time essentially helping you with your study. I do think though that the way data is used and presented in the paper is impersonal enough to be shared, you don’t even use age.

Finally, in response to your last didactic comment: do not embarrass yourself the same way @BauderRosie did in the first reaction to my critique. I am discussing statistics and the errors in *your* paper. No way you can infer disrespect to people committing suicides from my words

These talks of inappropriate tone seem an embarrassing attempt to switch the focus. The sensitivity of the phenomena behind the data you study does not allow you to misuse statistical tools analysing it and hide behind the sensitivity of the topic.

I'm flummoxed by critiques of tone in this respect. I've had very serious mental health problems in my past, and while I don't work directly with suicidal individuals I do think that examining the facts relating to suicide are extremely important
