[GOAL] Who is leading the global charge for open access?

[William Gunn]

About your comment "the commercial elements of our industry continue to
cause unprecedented damage to our research and our society", though...
PeerJ is a commercial element of the industry. I'm pretty sure you didn't
mean to say Pete Binfield & Jason Hoyt have caused unprecedented damage to
our society, so perhaps you'd like to rephrase & maybe be more careful with
your language in the future?
