I agree that my delivery was harsh, however making an accusation like that can be really harmful in such a small community like I/O. Try to see this from my perspective: What that retraction website is implying is that results were faked. This is a rare thing to happen in our field. This anonymous person created an account just to speculate that the FIU i/o psych department is closing because someone was faking results. What a huge accusation that is! That is so hurtful to any students and faculty that are in that program - people who work really hard and have research ethics, and again, no affiliation with the person in question. It's starting a rumor that can hurt a lot of people, whether it was intended to or not. I/O is a very small community, would you want people to think your program is involved in faking results? Didn't think so..

I'm sorry but I don't think it's okay for people to post rumors that are completely unfounded on a public forum. Yes, it is upsetting.

He is in the business school at FIU and has ZERO affiliation with the I/O psych department. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start spreading rumors about things you know nothing about.
