Re: I just don't get all the upset.

In reply to I just don't get all the upset., posted by seldomseen on November 8, 2008, at 17:25:50

I suppose I can imagine types of statistical research that only involved the 230 people-- things like how many posts they posted over a certain period of time, or an analysis of their posts only, in some very concrete way-- such as how often they brought up certain types of problems, or how much they interacted, or in what ways.

My problem would only arise if the content of discussions were part of the research, because in that case, we would in some sense be subjects of the experiment too-- because the posts to which people reply are inevitably part of the content of their reply.

Even though my personal identity might not be in question, some people might not feel comfortable with that, and I have some issue with disrupting the flow of the board in such a way.

I have some other thoughts, which I may post later.
