But of course it all an EXPERIMENT.
An unreasonable expectation that interaction with the administrator is anything but part of the EXPERIMENT.
At the beginning of this page:
"Don't necessarily believe everything you hear. Your mileage may vary. The only posts I take responsibility for are my own"
How to interpret responsibility? I am responsible for what I say but not for how you might interpret it.
This is an EXPERIMENT: by design there is deception. RESPONSIBILITY is taken for his own posts.
So he has taken responsibility that his posts could be deceptive. Right?Mr Hsiung acknowledges and had us sign the
"explicit informed consent"
to take part in his RESEARCHRight at the top of the page and we are still indignant.
"What you say may conceivably be used against you. Submitting a message gives me permission to use it as I wish." (I'll get back to this)
From FAQ:
"You may want to think twice about what you post. It's easy to feel safe online and therefore to be open about yourself. That's one of the advantages of online message boards, but don't forget:
What you post is public, as public as if you put it up on an old-fashioned bulletin board in a supermarket. Maybe even more so, since there aren't supermarket bulletin board search engines.
Under certain circumstances, being linked to a post could jeopardize your job or lead to your criminal prosecution. To repeat, what you say could be used against you.
The only way to be completely safe from these risks is to abstain from this activity."
"explicit informed consent"
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/consent.html"This site is not currently considered research. Still, Dr. Bob may publish case studies on his web site or in a book or an academic journal. If he does, he may include example posts. He would do his best to leave out any identifying information in the posts."
This particular part puzzles me. It is ethically unclear to me what is currently going on because of the statement:
" "What you say may conceivably be used against you. Submitting a message gives me permission to use it as I wish."
but I do not pretend to be well informed on such matters.I found an interesting article that informed me a little(but I would have to have a much better understanding make an informed opinion about what I see as inconsistent or has ethics issues above:
http://www.apa.org/science/leadership/bsa/internet/internet-report.pdf
I became interested because of reading all the threads on admin. I guess I am continuing to be part of this RESEARCH, no the good Dr explicitly stated there is no current research going on.
