As TCCC chair, I understand why you might think it was appropriate given my 
earlier post, as a TCCC member.  I did not think it was inappropriate at the 
time, but to be fair I was trying to frame it in the larger context of the 
problem of bogus journals and conferences, rather than use it a a way to hunt 
down this author (which I had already done separately).

As TCCC chair, I think that it is reasonable that we not use this list to post 
individual cases, but rather to discuss the larger issues.  There may be times 
where this is a fuzzy line when examples are needed to support the broader 
argument.

This also goes for complaining about individuals involved in particular 
conferences, whether or not the claims are justified; we had such an email to 
the list earlier today, which I'm currently investigating.

Cheers,
James
TCCC Chair
