No I didnt say it didnt exist  I just meant to point out that the kind of objectivity you are imposing on our edits and discussions makes little sense when the person were discussing could quite probably be our old school friend or our grandmothers neighbour  not because we are deliberately exploiting a COI but because it couldnt be otherwise Even trying to protect the anonymity of research participants is kind of farcical in a small population In light of our culture I think your rules about objectivity are antagonistic assuming youre not some mutant kind of New Zealander that is And I wouldnt be surprised if someone makes a bigger deal out of your behaviour
