What is the alternative?

Or are you just for creating classes of people that just can't be critiqued in any circumstance?

This kind of sounds like, 'Wont anyone think of the grifters?!'

I know every area is different but the "grifters" in the area of Computational Linguistics (the ACL) are "any volunteer[1] whose paper has been accepted at least once", meaning anyone from PhD students to professors and industry researchers.

Not all academia is Elsevier.

[1] This policy has been altered recently, though, and now submitting a paper comes with reviewing duties.
