` ::::::::::::::::::I have no idea what you mean by ``echo chamber``.  I'm referring to third-party, reliable sources with a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking.  If by ``echo chamber``, you mean blogs or opinion pieces, then I ask that you address what I am saying and not some magical Straw man.  As for ``threats against personal safety are more important than threats to alter the peer-review process``, what reliable sources actually say such a thing?  Honestly, that sounds like pure WP:OR.  Original research is strictly forbidden in Wikipedia articles.  In any case, WP:NPOV requires that we assign weight roughly in proportion to their prominence in reliable sources.    `
