If you have screen caps (that might be of interest in terms of addressing LJ ToS issues, legality of surveying minors or ethics issues publisher and agent might wish to be aware of), bring 'em.

Also, suggest people cap the "discourse" oh shaggirl's LJ lest that gets locked down too.

The annoying part that I see?

I have a very good friend who is writing her PhD thesis on fan culture. She's a reading/literacy specialist and is, in essence, attempting to show how fandom is a legitimate subculture (as an affinity group) and then, from that, how to bring it into classrooms to help students learn to read. She's got IRB approval and will be conducting a survey and follow-up interviews at a con later this year.

She's NOT doing this to primarily sell a book (although if she does, it will be more of an academic sort), but to try and fill a research gap in how to reach students with learning/literacy difficulties.

And it chaps my hide that this bobohaid has now potentially made it more difficult for her because fans may be nervous she's got the same intention as he has. I've seen the survey -- I know it isn't.

Make that two people irritated on your friend's behalf; the goals that she has for her research are beyond admirable. My sister has a freshly minted PhD in psych, and I have half a notion of passing along this guy's sloppy-ass survey to her; after her forehead vein bulges out, she'd fall to the floor laughing.
