- nickff 5y agoHow would you feel about getting threatening e-mails out of the blue, then finding out you were being used for the author's personal benefit?
- bennysomething 5y agoI'm assuming you've never had something that approaches a real life legal threat? It's extremely stressful. It's one thing wanting people to know about laws, it's another thing to induce emotional distress just because you think some individual should know. Personally I think it was a horrible thing to do to an innocent person. Totally thoughtless and uncalled for.
- kbenson 5y agoTo be clear, I'm not saying the study was conducted ethically, which I think is a complex question (but also one I think influenced quite a bit by the wording of accusations, as "human subject research" has some historical connotations even if an accurate description), but that attributing all lost time/money to a cost the study imposed on others might be taking too much of a leap.
