      There’s a wide range of reactions that are not douchey while being both honest and on topic.

          Rather than giving an entire unsolicited peer review, I would just mention there were issues with the paper and offer a full peer review if he’s interested. It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

          Now, if that happened, or if Terrence sent the paper and asked for a full peer review, I would take back my comment. But based on this video, it didn’t feel like that’s what happened.

            Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.

            It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

            By assuming he doesn’t know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.

              Hmm, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about at this point… I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree. With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.

              Considering he has a reputation for being douchey in literally the same manner, but towards common people, it seemed like par for the course with him.

                Any honest, relevant response to Terrence Howard would be interpreted by someone as douchey.
