Raija Halonen wrote "it seems that I'm the only one who feels like being hit on the face, being cheated somehow." (....and lied to, and deceived...) No. You are not alone.... and this event totally contradicts my understanding of this list carrying the name PhD Design which I have always somehow associated with concepts of `search for truth`, honesty, dependability and reliabilirty. Now that my own generalization of such an association has been shattered, I guess I have to try not to fall in just the opposite trap of `negative` generalization. Thus, the list--that includes silent voices as well as loud ones, imaginary voices as well as real ones, people who see this incident as a moment to reflect upon and discuss intellectually as well as who find justification of deception as unacceptable (...and those who dont care...)-- is a rich, variable and complex enough mix which does not stand alone for a set of values only, but has tints of different understandings and perceptions of `right ` and `wrong` ,`ethical` and `unethical`, `search for truth` and `acceptance of illusion and play`.
