Whereas I find it appropriate not to initiate a polemic in an academic journal, I would also find it inappropriate that such a polemic would not happen, at other venues and publications. When this things happen, don't we care enough to complain? and if we do care enough, why shouldn't we complain, and as loudly as the particular arena or situation grants it?
Any suggestions for a place for a USEFUL polemic on this?
