I think there is a misunderstanding here, if I can step in. I believe that Ray had been somewhat brought down as a high school teacher, as not being quite up to the quality of 'person' as some of the college teachers. (I had to read between the lines, but it seemed pretty clear to me!) The person who did this apparently did so by back-channel so that is why we are missing a piece of the puzzle. Ray was merely venting his outrage, as I can clearly understand one might, at having been down-graded.
Apparently, this other person (whose emails I regularly have in my delete filter along with some others....) perpetrated this bit of ad hominem. As we all know, these kinds of attacks then tend to spiral out of control. You call me a name, I call you one back, etc., etc. So no need to get defensive. Having said that, David and his wife are indeed fine folks. I have also met them at AP readings, and look forward to seeing that cute little baby this year! (Are you both coming to read? and will we see that little one?) What Ray may not know, since he appears to be relatively new to the list, is that the perpetrator is not a psychology person. Ray, does that help you understand how this problem started? I'd hate to lose a new person on the list!
