There are lots of gray areas, but the article does not cover any of them; these were not gray areas, but very very dark. I'm not in that field, and no longer in academia, but we should out those a-holes and fire many of them (we as humanity :) Sexual and romantic relationships among people in direct supervisory relationships are too close to sexual harassment, and prohibited by most HR departments, as they should be. That should be a big no-no. Notice nothing precludes people from acting on romantic feelings after the supervisory relationship ends. I think talking about gray areas and splitting hairs when we have accounts of horrible behavior is detrimental to solving these issues. Let's get rid of these a-holes, and then we can discuss shades of gray when we have gotten rid of the horribly abusive behavior.
