      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.

      Just got another note about it: "Jesus. It's an unbridled personal attack on you. These people are obsessed with dumping on you." What's up, @verybadwizards?

      I’ve been mixed on them. This helps me know where to land.

      I've never received so many messages telling me not to listen to something before. They must have really botched the job here.

      I'd take that advice and ignore it.

      I already don't respect them, and I've never found their show interesting, so that's not hard.

      Good. There are still people who are able to get the point and not stoop to personal attacks.

      It’s fair critism and if you guys want to criticize another field so harshly (which I tend to agree with you on) you should be open to being criticized yourselves. They’re well meaning academics like you. You should go back on it would be a great conversation @ConceptualJames

      No. Sorry, you can't tell us it is fair to say we are badly motivated. We know better. We criticised a field - their ideas and how they worked - and can respect criticisms of our project on the same grounds. Motivational attacks are something else.

      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.

          Were we sincere when we wrote the papers & genuinely believe men should be trained like dogs? No. Bad faith, then? OK. Are we sincere in saying the reasons we did this was because we care about knowledge production & consistent ethics? Yes. Bad faith? No.
