   Hehe. You don't know s**t. Not that it matters.

   Alan:
   Caryl:
   Or, there is other information out there to which neither of us is privy. I mean, I know both of them and you don't, so I think I'm a little better positioned to offer conjectures about their motivations (and the information they had at hand). But they are just conjectures.

   Are you also better positioned to offer conjectures about who I know?
   I'm sure it felt great when Schrodt spared 30 seconds to comment on your polmeth poster, but that doesn't give you any grand insights into his motivations. Kindly cram the "but I'm friends with�" bulls**t.

   It does matter. It matters because anyone who has spent a nontrivial amount of time around either of those people would know that it's absolutely inconceivable that they'd know about this. But please, carry on with your irresponsible "conjecturing." It's entertaining.

   Evidently, someone needs to email the University of Illinois public affairs contact and find out what the story is.

   The lawsuit between Leetaru and the University of Illinois wasn't especially new so Schrodt and Brandt must have been aware of the conflict. It seems more likely that some other information has emerged that made them jump ship.

   Foreign Policy just hired this guy as a columnist. I wouldn't give him access to their servers if I were them....

   the data has been taken off of the project's website. Does anyone know if it can be downloaded from someplace else?

    Schrodt has to worry about this. After all, would you want to have to live in polygraph land knowing a fellow who is getting sued like this?

    Leetaru's CV doesn't list his academic credentials...wonder what gives with that.

    University of Illinois issued the following statement:

    "The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is not associated with G-DELT or any decisions about its status, however two faculty members here have expressed scholarly concerns about the source of the data that underlies the G-DELT database."
