Yes and we're all going to hell - right?

Well, with comments like that you're bound to !

Foxy what would you do if you knew that your colleagues were constructively lying to increase their income by gaining grants?

If you would not expose these lies, you are not the lady I have believed you to be.

Individual,

Nah, I'm a good negotiator.

Hasbeen,

All any one of us can be is responsible for our own
behaviour.

I worked with a colleague a few years back
who saw it as her duty
to look for mistakes of another colleague that she
disliked very much. She became quite obsessive,
and made this woman's life miserable. Every time
she found an error she would run to the
department head about it. This awful creature finally
caused her colleague to have a nervous breakdown.
The colleague never recovered.

Having witnessed this first hand - I have made it a
general rule that at work - I do the best job that
I possibly can. I do not get involved in intrigues.

Yes Foxy, rather nasty, but no where as critical as misguiding government policy & expenditure by concocting false research results.

This is the type of behaviour I would expect any concerned citizen to feel they had to blow the whistle on. In fact I would suggest any person, particularly a scientists would be showing very bad faith if they did not blow the whistle on such behaviour.

Hasbeen,

I don't know where you get the false research
results from. Peter Ridd made no mention of
any false research results. What he said was:

"I'm not saying that all the science is wrong.
I'm just saying because there is not enough
checking, testing and replicating ... it is
difficult to know what is right and wrong."

He was never gagged or silenced in his views.
As was admitted in court.

See you on another discussion.
