I just posted a Twitter thread about why the #receptiogate episode is actually more than just a sordid tale of plagiarism, stock photos, fake identities, website chaos, and likely grift (as if all that isn't enough!). It's also about intellectual honesty. https://twitter.com/lisafdavis/status/1608173867889201152

“I know we're all obsessed with the stream of discoveries about #receptiogate, the revolving-door website updates, & Rossi's doubling-down claims of innocence that are easily disproven, but I also want to talk about her #fragmentoogy work, which is troubling in several respects...”
Bernhard Huss@Marphurius #Rossi seems to say that the stock photos on the #Receptio pages are due to a technical problem. That doesn't seem credible to me. Among other things, #Kidd posted a link showing pages that have recently been deleted from reception.eu: https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20221130193323/20221225114026/https://www.receptio.eu/operationalstaff There I find an image of myself, clearly a photomontage that I never knew anything about.
@Marphurius I took part in the first meeting of this body and then carefully withdrew, obviously they wanted to use us primarily to involve illustrious guests. As far as I know, there have been no activities of this institute, we haven’t received any update via email. #receptio #receptiogate
Amazing mic-drop moment when Rossi says that Sotheby's ALSO used Kidd's work without citing him, and he responds "Yeah, well, I WROTE the Sotheby's catalogue." BOOM
Today's #receptio updates: a new message from Rossi on Academia.edu (https://www.academia.edu/93739429/Dear_Dr_Kidd_I_am_writing_to_explain_to_you_point_by_point_the_great_mistake_you_have_made_and_are_still_making) and two new responses from Peter Kidd (https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-receptio-rossi-affair-iii-my.html) and (https://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-receptio-rossi-affair-iv-my.html)
