Just when I was convinced they’re not losers
The Association for American Publishers just does not learn.
Here, guys. Have a free sledgehammer, on me. The NIH policy is a done deal. Weep, wail, mourn, and move the hell on. (Oh, and those first three? Should be done in private. The little temper tantrum that was PRISM didn’t get you very far, did it? Learn from that.)
If you bring a lawsuit, it is doomed. If you raise hell with faculty, faculty will raise hell right back, because the NIH is more important to them than you are. If you take it back to Congress, you will be met with incomprehension. The NIH itself shows every sign of being tired of your shenanigans.
Grow up, people. Smile, put on your grownup undies, and stop throwing good money down the rathole of an already-lost fight. Sheesh. Do you think I like calling you losers? I don’t.
