Oh come on Kirk the anger translator is supposed to be funny.
I wouldn't take any of these idiots seriously because this is an anonymous forum and we know that a lot of outsiders post here. Then the mods come and f**k with them and get rid of everything they post. This place is a lot better then it was in the past and with new cycles the mods find new ways of getting rid of the new trolls.
Give me 5 min and I'll find subreddits that are many orders of magnitude worse than anything that has ever been posted on EJMR. In fact just look at the autoadmit front page if you want to see a s**tfest. Every forum has these issues and if all those assholes are trying to blame anything on EJMR then they are severely f**ked up in the head.
Plus the paper was extremely horrible. It failed miserably to show anything related to the economic world or even to the academic world. The fact that more people are not going after her advisor for allowing this to see the light of day reflects extremely poorly on Berkeley. Irrespective of the topic, message or conclusions the implementation was worse than what I'd expect to see coming from a high-school student. Its almost like any chimpanzee can get a thesis approved in that place. I don't blame the student. The professors should have followed up on her more carefully and steered her to better work.
