I don't want to sent a letter unless Bill wants us to, but I will point out that both my daughters graduated from the College of Wooster and so they and I (as a parent of 2 alums) would be happy to write in support as well.

I'm still hoping for a quick apology, although I know that is unlikely. Bill "Dennis Goff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/28/08 9:52 AM >>> Bill, Is there anything that we can do to help out? It is hard to believe that we have gone this far down this road. Dennis Dennis Goff Randolph College Lynchburg VA 24503 -----Original Message----- From: William Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 2/27/2008 9:55 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] this world is getting crazy The correspondence below is a thread of TIPs that recently happened. I took part in it as you can read. Based on this actual exchange, and nothing else, I have been suspended from my job (with pay --hooray). My college has decided that I am a possible threat to everyone and I must undergo some evaluation (as yet to be determined - maybe psychiatric, maybe going through all my email, -- who knows). It seems that someone sent a copy of my posting to the president of the college saying that I was making terrorist threats. I don't know if this was an idiot reading of my post or a friend sending the letter as a prank. Regardless, I have been relieved of my position as a tenured professor of psychology at the College of Wooster untill this is settled. This is real. I am not kidding about this.

By that logic, we should immediately jail everyone who stops taking prescribed medications. I think this situation is FAR more complicated than whether one takes drugs. Chris -- Christopher D. Green Department of Psychology York University In response to this Tim Shearon of Idaho College wrote: Chris- You stopped too soon. Let's develop profiles of those who might stop taking their meds. We could then prevent this from occurring. (removing tongue from cheek for the next few minutes) :) Incidentally I've stopped taking my meds. Tim _______________________________ Timothy O. Shearon, PhD Professor and Chair Department of Psychology The College of Idaho Caldwell, ID 83605 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In response to this I wrote: I have stopped taking my meds, too. I was prescribed some prozac a couple of years ago when I reported feeling fatigued to my family medicine doctor. I quit taking it after a month or so because it seemed to make no difference. Last weekend in a discussion of the shootings with some old friends I confessed that I responded to the news by thinking of a list of people I would blow away at my school in a similar way. Catch me if you can. Bill Scott p.s. The point is that, although all of the above is true, I believe it is true for 99.99% of people who have the same story that they will never do such a thing. --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- tag Linda M.
