Psychology Today

[DrPhil]

That article was on a few professional listserves. People were interested to read the article and its rebuttals. And then...poof the article and link are gone.

While the instant backlash and disappearance of the article and link are funny, I don't believe in censoring research and scholarly discourse. There's plenty of theory and research out there that some people don't personally and/or professionally agree with. Let the research, articles, and links exist and be available so that people can see information on all sides of these issues. Then people (scholars; researchers; practitioners; and laypersons who access research beyond snippets on msn) can be well-informed of the pros and cons of everything. Yes, EVERYTHING has perceived pros and cons.

ETA: As others in this thread have note, it's also important to note that there is a reason why this article is published on a non-peer reviewed source. I only read and cite peer reviewed sources for scholarly discourse, but I still believe that even non-peer reviewed sources should be allowed to exist without censorship.
