One aspect of EJMR that is harmful is that the most egregious content is deleted, but not before it is viewed by many. Such content - often defamatory - can be recovered and people should be held accountable for posting it. Defamation is not free speech.

Thanks to the dude who signed our EJMR petition as "Wasted Timenefort". You're right, you did waste my time.

It was in this building that nearly 20 years ago I took International Trade with @davidhummels - really serves as a reminder of how one or two great professors can make a huge difference :) (the other lesson here - time flies)

Fully agree with this! In addition, we have a petition to the AEA to help us identify consequences for the most egregious - slanderous - posts

What happens when charities call to personally thank their donors? Read my new article to find out :)

Calling donors to thank them doesn’t make them more likely to give again

Like any personal touch, there’s a chance this common fundraising step makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside. But a five-year research project found that it doesn’t make donors more generous.

@Econ_4_Everyone @ErnestoReuben This was in the context of explaining to me why the AEA will not be able to do anything about EJMR. Are you willing to help us limit defamation and threats against juniors and women on that site? If so I’d love to run your election campaign!
