Yes, absolutely. We're all racists, and the whole thing was racist, and an abuse of editorial power, and there's all these accusations. Right, and the editor loses his position. He loses his position, and these two special editors are brought in. Negotiations go on for almost two years. Like, what are they negotiating about? Who's going to... So, part of Robert's denunciation...

So, part of Robert's denunciation...

public denunciation of all of us was he posted the draft of his commentary response that was headed for the discussion forum and the full set of emails he exchanged with Fiedler. about publishing it. And those are typically confidential communications between an editor and an author. And so... Or at least typically private. Yes, right. They're typically private. So that...

blew up the journal by firing Fiedler. Right, right, which is like an admission of fault. And about two-thirds of the editorial board resigned when he was ousted. That was protest resignation. Yeah, I don't know whether it was protest. We know they resigned, whether it was protest or not.

Right, exactly. Right, okay. So the journal was a mess for a long time, and these editors—and there was this exchange between the editors, Roberts, Fiedler, and the other contributors, myself and the other contributors— about whether and when to publish it.
