I guess when you get to that point (and lets face it, I doubt he get smany dates), it's impossible to even find it,

They seem to have considered the research ethics side of things: "Additionally, we selected forums where no login was required to access hunting “stories” (i.e., hunt narratives) and demographic information of members. All data were therefore publicly accessible, which was a criterion for ethics clearance (University of Victoria, protocol #12-363)."
Perhaps simply requiring that members log in to view site content will prevent - or at least limit - this sort of thing in future?

Actually, having thought about it, could it be argued that the ethics breach occurred not when they viewed the posts without logging in but rather when they logged in, viewed posts, and engaged hunters on the HBC forum (if that is indeed what the authors did)? Pretending to be a member of this community in good standing while engaging hunters in conversation here is disingenuous at best and perhaps tantamount to a breach of the "ethics clearance" they cite in their "research".
Give them enough rope and maybe we can get a class action going, that should ruffle thier feathers.
