so the community can be abusive but no one may abuse the community?
If so, I think that sounds like the basis for bullying culture which perhaps unsurprisingly is what is observed.
I think it's naive for them to assume that all submissions are done in good faith, just as it's naive for participants to assume that all interactions will be nice. It's not the community's fault they were deceived nor is it the participants fault they were abused.
My point is there is an equality. That personal responsibility, ethics and integrity should apply to everyone not just to some labeled group.
What it sounds to me like you're saying is, it's the researchers fault that they deceived us and we have a right to be outraged but it's not our fault that we're abusive to participants and they have no right to be surprised at that. Am i hearing you wrong?
my point i think is to draw attention to the apparently unequal application of these principles of ethics responsibility and integrity. Additionally I'm a little worried that your reluctance to compare your different groups is an attempt to conceal, and justify, a continued unequal application of responsibility ethics and integrity.
That sounds pretty harsh towards you and so I doubt that's actually what you're saying because I don't think you're someone who lacks a moral character like that. I think probably you and I are just misunderstanding what each other is saying. Perhaps.
For instance I don't think either of us believe that bad behavior on either side whether the deception of the researchers or the abusiveness of the community is okay.
I suppose what I'm doing is addressing, or trying to, to contrast the reactions of either side to those things and expose what I see as an unfairness or a double standard or an unequal application. hope that helps you understand what I'm saying. Anyway have a good doi
