I don’t expect that kind of privacy for my emails in my role as editor. I’d be curious to know why you do. What’s the purpose of wanting authors to ask for permission to share an official correspondence about their own paper? I think it’s a significant obstacle to accountability.

There was no obstacle. Their were no consequences in a professional sphere. If I refused to respond to an email that would be one thing. I stopped them from tweeting at me. Only ethics that apply on social media are personal preferences based on whatever criteria I choose.

Putting the blocking issue aside for a sec, you suggested there are ethical issues with sharing an editor’s official email about one’s own paper (even w/o reviews) - I strongly disagree and think that will deter others and take away an important avenue for accountability.

The blocking exacerbates this concern because, if it was for this reason, it’s a signal to other authors that further deters them from using this avenue for accountability.

It sounds like the disagreement we have is about whether authors should be allowed to share their own decision letters w/o asking for permission. If the answer is no, then your block makes sense. I think it should clearly be yes. I’d be curious to hear reasons why it should be no

I don't really see any faux outrage here. Just a debate about a topical issue. I personally agree with
@siminevazire and@hardsci . In absence of explicit notice not to share decision letters, I see no reason at all not to. They're not "personal" emails - they're institutional1 reply 0 retweets 14 likes -

Why can't we ask permission if we are to share stuff publicly? If we really think something needs to be shared publicly, we can ask, and if ignored, we can still at least inform the person we're doing it, and then do it.

Yeah I don’t know why it’s so hard to get permission. I for one have never been so offended that I wanted to share an action letter tho. Not sure I ever would.

I don't think it is a matter of permission which implies a power relationship, but one of basic human decency. In normal circumstances, making public what in principle is a private convo would require mutual consent. Would you be happy if the editor published their comments?

But is it a private conversation? I don’t think it is. It’s a transaction.

Respectfully stopping this interaction because I don't think we're interacting in a way that involves communication.
