Well, I have formally withdrawn my permission for my pseudonym and any comments I've made to be used by Ogi Ogas in his research. The LJ he was using seems to be blocked off now, and I don't know exactly why that is, but oh, well.
The interactions I had Ogi were polite and interesting, however, since deadlychameleon, and many others, have pointed out that he has been misrepresenting himself, I can't support the research any longer.
I was waiting to see how things would pan out, to see if perhaps there had been a misunderstanding, but the weight of the evidence seems to be coming down against this being an ethical legitimate research project. Therefore I have locked my post that had a banner link to the survey, not to pretend I never made it, but to prevent it from giving any further advertising to the survey. Instead, I am posting here to say that I have withdrawn any encouragement to fans to take the survey.
In lieu of taking the survey, you can go here http://linkspam.dreamwidth.org/5800.html to get links to the discussions and debates that changed my mind about participating in this project.
