Onan, what is best in life? To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to see the retractions of their papers

Imagine that various persons -- some anonymous, some identified -- have used fora such as PubPeer to criticise your alchemical announcements for consisting largely of half-arsed photoshoppery in lieu of actual experiments.

Do you:
(1) use the same fora to defend your work, refute your opponents and leave them humiliated and confounded? or
(2) Devise a bogus, fraudulent story of international extortion and gang-criminality, with which to pester the Cyber Police and pose as a victim?

Life of a post-publication peer reviewer is always intense. This is currently in circulation on the Twittle, emanating from an account created for the purpose.



I was not previously aware of my career as an international blackmailer and cyber-criminal. The worst part about being unmasked is that everyone at the Old Entomologist thinks I must be swimming in money, and they expect me to buy the drinks.

AFTERTHOUGHT:

Evidently Sharma & Madhuri (or their sympathisers) do not want anyone to read their papers. Understandably so. They have the consolation of knowing that at least the editors & peer reviewers never read them.

And there came a response:

Yet here the bumblefucks are, telling people in advance about the plan to complain to the Cyber Police. At that stage they had not dreamed up the bogus extortion attempt.
