You pathetic short-man tubby gutless piece of puke. I haven't been banned from anywhere, I come and go as I please.

You're the worst kind of fuckwit, sucking up to far-right morons and conspiracist wankers while trying to project an image of intellect.

I wipe stuff of my shoes that have more character, balls and brains than you.

One of the reasons for high publication fees is that the journals know that pharma companies are often involved, so it basically comes down to "Oh, want an Open Access paper in our prestigious journal to make yourself look good? Fuck you, pay us!" Which results in a market that is much harder for scientists not supported by pharma companies.

[Doctor X]

Yup. There is also the, "you want to get out of post-docs and be considered for a tenure track?"

"Fuck you, pay me!"

But was it a significant trend?

But was it a significant trend?

If, by "significant," you mean "it got me my summer home," then yes.
