Bonus points for using your academic standing to discredit anyone who dares to question your methods, or even just ask for the raw data.

in links up there. The actual facts, the court transcripts, as opposed to half baked persecution complexes. No-one cares about what's actually true.
The academic comment is a completely valid point. "because someone on the internet says so" has become the currency of truth. Wikipedia is, apparently, a valid reference resource in science (at least according to some of my younger and more gullible students). The press leap on things pre-peer review. It's a fucking shambles.
