Oh, Ghost, I'm WELL aware of the guidelines, as I've had to follow them a number of times.

I'm simply playing Devil's Advocate on this issue.

I would say that, yes, the good Professor should have sought permission from NCSoft to use the names in his paper, if he had not already done so, which I do not know.

Not sure putting broadcast and tells complete with character names, something he did in the paper, counts as anonymous.

[/ QUOTE ]

Anonymous refers to the actual gathering, not the publication.

[/ QUOTE ]

Shouldn't the anonymous remain anonymous in the reporting process of the experiment? If not, at what stage do the "lab rats" lose the right for name suppression.

[/ QUOTE ]

They lose the right to name suppression as soon as they create the character.

Or as someone (I believe it was Mac) said last night: When you're a jerk to them, people get angry.

[/ QUOTE ]Good thing we have professors to tell us that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Education is vunderbar!


...or were you saying Macskull's a professor?

[/ QUOTE ]

How about an IRB approval, informed consent and a known population for starters. Then maybe it would actually qualify as research......

[/ QUOTE ]

Anonymous sociological research precludes the need for consent.

Somwhere, somehow, J. Edgar Hoover nods approvingly at his son.

Maybe.

All I know is that I don't wanna stop making bad jokes.

Did you take a crazy train back?

I ain't gonna lie: I loves me some MXC.

Just because we don't THINK it's possible for a star to go supernova does NOT mean it could not happen. We're still trying to explore our own oceans, after all.

Quitter!

Also, I, too, will see you on Old Republic. I'll be the guy storing you freaks in my ship's hold.

We're gonna turn this place into a giant mudpit?

karma

[/ QUOTE ]For what, successfully defending himself against spurious claims brought against him by money-grubbing parents who told their child to lie under oath about the whole thing?


Seriously, the Court of Public Opinion crap *really* torques me off.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like how, when a person they don't like dies, people claim "karma", when a 50 year old black male with massive stress in his life and overall poor health dying is really anything but karma.

Oh well, stupid people will always be stupid.

If it's anything like the one Moggie and Missy took me to in Austin, I'd be game for it.

It was the NCSoft event where they were getting ready for Tabula Rasa launch. The restaurant was within walking distance of the Dave & Buster's. And THAT D&B knew how to make some of their signature drinks properly, not that watered down crap we got at the D&B in Milipitas.

I'm curious to find out what the Justice * Junket will be this year.

EDIT: As long as we get proper FULL addresses this year. And complete directions.

You hear that Red Gren and Diamond Dragoon? I'm talking to you. I'll forgive infallible for his fallible directions to the liquor store since he was a visitor to the region as well.

Ok... it's official! I'm worried about Buca di Beppo! If there's one in Texas, this one's not going to measure up. Everyone KNOWS everything is BIGGER & BETTER in Texas!

Seriously though, I do think it's a pretty good venue for a bunch of people, and that's why I suggested it. I'm glad to hear others also like the place.

Wha buh!?! I don't remember giving you directions anywhere!
The one time I tried, you insisted you would rely only on your GPS... (comedy & epic adventure ensued... )

Ok... I did goof up with the address of the restaurant. Sorry about that.
I guess I need to hire a fact checker/editor this time around...

Aaannd.... if we're going to go back to Holder's for breakfast/brunch again, I'll make sure to have the full mailing address on hand so you can enter that into your GPS and hopefully get to the right place in a reasonable, non-comedic amount of time. I make no promises though... I don't have any control over what your GPS says!

Holy crap, I love Buca di Beppo! It was slightly disturbing to see the pope's head on the table...

Meh.
