I've always been uncomfortable about open review as it is discussed on Twitter. The discussion never seems to consider ECRs' and others' less privileged voices and how to stop them being drowned out.

In fact, I often feel in those discussions nobody even wants to talk about it when I bring it up. I see only the same names, again and again. This is worrying because the same people talking about this stuff over and over is probably not going to make as fruitful or useful dialog

as something more inclusive. If we're trying to move to a better system, surely we need to check it's genuinely better & be inclusive of less powerful voices? Professors probably can create/move to a new system without talking to their mentees, but doesn't that defeat the point?

There's inherent value in listening to people who are not professors, even if only 1% (or fewer) of us will get a permanent academic job.

To be clear, hypothetical questions/scenaria, imagining how one would behave or feel, in my mind, carry little weight. Listen to those who've been there and done it. Experience is important. Modelling ourselves in unexperienced situations is hard. Trust me, I'm a modeller.

Oh, and framing issues which clearly have deeper repercussions (others have mentioned them) as a Great Man Theory style Him VS Him (exclusively) is a massive rhetorical disservice to the field and the dialogue. Open review is an issue that affects us all, not 2 people.

Yes. Thank you! It's actually really upsetting from one perspective. From my more holistic, big picture, view... I just think yeah, that's Twitter. It doesn't matter if they have more degrees than opinions on a matter, somehow they will fill up a thread with trash.
