that’s some expert level pettiness there. yuck! i wouldn’t think the editors would let it pass though, would they?https://twitter.com/chrisdc77/status/983372173363634176 …

How would the editors know /have the head space to notice (especially between journals)?

Oh I just somehow thought they signed by different names and that would be something not that difficult to catch, given editors know reviewers’ names. Otherwise I’m not sure how one impersonates others “anonymously” though.

Oh, shit! I actually misread this. You are right. I'm tempted to think this person might be pulling Chris' lag?

What I thought, wrongly, was they were signing the good ones but pretending to be other people by writing as if they were ("In my lab this, that" which would be true for a competitor) other people.

I think it's amgigious from Chris' tweet what impersonate means: 1) sign the name of; or 2) write like they are **another person**.

The second one. Or least that was the claim. The guy was drunk but also a nob when sobre, so I would rate the chances of him telling the truth as: distinctly likely. Actually, thinking of it, it's not the first time I've heard academics talk about impersonating their nemeses.

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @chrisdc77 @siminevazire and 3 othersWhen you say impersonate, you mean Dr. X (=drunk mid-career academic who nobody liked) wrote in his -ve reviews "in my lab this and that" when in fact "this and that" were true for his enemy's (Dr. Y's) lab, right?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Thanks for clarification. And yes, I have heard this type of thing too. It's tough to know much this is for their own amusement as nobody else might even get where they are coming from.

Also amusingly, a lot of people give away who they are in reviews so much that it's seemingly purposeful. Then they don't sign — which confuses me a lot.
