Lynn, I agree with your sentiments concerning disparaging public remarks, but it was also the responsibility of the host to work with the local teacher to avoid the conflict, if possible. If the teacher had ongoing classes, it is rude of the host to assume that the local teacher would change his/her plans just to accomodate the visiting teacher.
We've had visiting teachers hold workshops at the same time as our classes. However, when the workshops and our classes are taught at different levels, there is no conflict. In other cities, the host often asks the local teacher if he/she would like the guest teacher to teach the class. The local teacher could have accepted and worked with the guest to provide something meaningful to his/her students. If this was not a possibility, then both the local teacher and the host hold their respective events and take their chances.
