[GOAL] DOAJ: handmaiden to despots? or, OA, let's talk

[Guédon Jean-Claude]

"A habit of viewing all feedback / critique as anti-open access? Can such a statement be convincingly demonstrated?  I strongly doubt it...

"...reacting defensively, as if every critic were an enemy ..."

Really? Every critic? Now, now...

IMHO, robust exchanges should not be confused with various forms of paranoia, and pointing out weaknesses in arguments is not equivalent to treating someone as an "enemy".
