Just received this about the @verybadwizards podcast:
"They go at you pretty hard as a person. Not that I think you care, but I think you have kids? You might not want to listen to that one with your kids around. It’s the whole first segment of their most recent episode."
Weak.

We expected this and we don't care much about VBW but it is alarming to see usually reasonable people saying that it's fair to respond with motivational attacks. We didn't do that.If we had, there would have been some kind of justice but we said those scholars intentions are good
-
It is really important to distinguish between ideas and people.
-
Besides - why is it unfair to question motivation? i think lots of us know your motivations were good, and they’re not criticizing in bad faith. Just think it would be cool for you guys to engage in conversation over it all.

One cannot prove their motivations, and motivations have nothing to do with the information gained or what it tells us. That is, it's something to talk about that isn't substance but can lead people to discredit the work.
-
1/ From a fan of your hoax, and your work in general: Don't defend a hoax (by definition a bad faith work intended to test a journal's capability of identifying bad faith work) as good faith work because your motivations are good faith, while claiming motivations are irrelevant.
-
2/ It puts you too squarely in parallel with those you criticize, from whom you don't like criticism. Instead, stoically write one more paper, using sound research, argumentation, and writing. A good faith work about "the information gained or what it tells us."
-
3/ Address counters and disputes scientifically (not tweeting about "canards" and "lies.") Get it published (or rejected) by psych, education, soc, other journal. Cross-pub on Areo. Show everyone the value of methods you prefer. Don't stoop to the methods of those you dispute.
-
I don't understand where you think we are. I can see there could be some confusion if we say we did the project in good faith because people say that the fact that the papers weren't sincere shows it to be in bad faith but this is just to confuse two levels.
