I know what others have stated, but at this point I would wonder about this given the second email, which sounds incredibly rude. If you make a request, then the other person can refuse your request. To then accuse you of being unprofessional and you should because taxpayers pay our salary blah, blah, blah would cause some kind of warning bells in me (and would tick me off).

The request came from someone who identified himself as an "independent researcher" who claimed not to have access to the two journals (mainstream ones--none that were esoteric). His email did not include his last name nor any affiliation. But, it clearly was not spam. I wrote back and declined to send them because there was not a clear affiliation with an university, press, or other organization. He wrote back and said that he was shocked, my work is not secret, that it is supported by taxpayers, that I'm unprofessional, etc. I replied again that I did not think that his unaffiliated identity met the requirements under the copyright transfer. I also informed him that I respected the journals and if he would provide an affiliation, I'd be happy to send the work. Am I being too picky? Rob Rob Weisskirch, MSW.
