It's actually worst than I made out in the title. The responses he got under his original name were "almost all negative", not actual invitations. While almost all the response under his pseudonym were positive, some getting out of their way to pull him in.

It's actually worse still. ALL of the 17 responses to the real name were negative if you read what he actually posted. That's an infinite increase. NOT 5x.

Because it’s fake

Fake things always get greedy

I was curious what her percentage of overlap was between the 17 rejects and 54 accepts (or even the 87 responses) but that was not mentioned.

Everyone should be reminded that Twitter is not for posting actual science.

NOTE: Not sure why my auto-correct changed "the" to "her"

the post was entirely made up, as acknowledged by the author
