抗议公开信发出后得到主编来信,告诉我他们的update(editor's note, Jiang Lai的
文章)
我回信如下,应该还算合理吧
Dear Tim and Philip,
Yes I am aware of the recent update from Nature.com (and I have just copied
it to all the co-signers of our open protest). We highly appreciate the self
-correction from Nature. Meanwhile, besides the factual and logic issues you
have already acknowledged, we urge you not to overlook the implicit (yet
obvious) cultural and even racial bias in that article (e.g. the link
between Ye, a swimmer "from China" and the image of "cheaters"), and make
sure similar incident will never happen again.
Best,
XXX

UPDATE 1:
他们回信了,看来今天他们要加班了 lol
Dear XXX—thank you for your note, and for alerting your co-signers to it
. I want to assure you that whatever the flaws in the article, it was not
motivated by bias.
Best regards,
Tim

UPDATE 2:
我又一次回信了,因为从联署者的反应来看大部分人已经满意了 我无权代表大家继续
发声,但是我个人对他们的行动还有进一步的期待。
Dear Tim and Philip,
Thanks for the explanation.
Given that this article basically failed to convey the information to the
readers as it intended to, and has created a controversial and biased image
of Ye Shiwen, I think retracting the article from your website is the right
way to show that you are indeed concerning the perception of readers, and
that you are making every effort to minimize the negative influence it
brought up.
Best,
XXX
