Comment on The Open-Access Wars: Bullies Square Off on Library Listserv by Jean-Claude Guédon

As someone who has had his share of debates withStevan Harnad (and yet consider him as a good friend), I would certainly not use the word “bully”. Also, the vigour of the debates among OA advocates should not be confused with rifts within the movement. Think of it more as complementary. Finally, if the OA movement were so capapble of affecting the price of Elsevier shares, even positively (for Elsevier), we would be very close to victory.
