[GOAL] Re: Need for a new beginning

[Chris Zielinski]

I have no personal involvement in this issue (other than being aghast when
SciELO appeared on the List of Predatory Journals recently - it now seems
to have been removed, after multiple protests) and don't know any of the
participants personally, but I can't be the only one who finds this post
from Beall outrageous, with its insinuations that Archambault has a
financial motive for his post, and may be racist. Archambault's reply is
far, far too polite!
