| Jan 7, 2019 at 14:54 | comment | added | guest | I thought it was a great response. Moral +1 from me. (Guest commenter, lack status to vote. Oops...not helping your SE cite count.) | |
| Jan 7, 2019 at 10:35 | comment | added | technical_difficulty | +1 for asking the editor to discipline the reviewer. @Noah disciplining the reviewer means making it clear, that such opinionated attacks on a personal level are unprofessional, unwanted and have no place in a review. | |

| Jan 6, 2019 at 15:43 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | What does “disciplining” a reviewer even mean? Punishing them by asking them for reviews more often? | |

Promote means to move/put forward or to the front, which is an essential action in science dissemination, communication and debate. Promotion can be a honest activity if done honestly, IMHO, and need not be perceived as a hint to unethical practices in and of itself. Like all good things it can degenerate if not preserved correctly; conceded. | |

| Jan 6, 2019 at 12:09 | comment | added | pipe | It is sad that you treat citations as "promotions". I thought a citations were a way to refer to previous studies in the field which are necessary to understand concepts in the paper, not for namedropping and promoting people. | |
