How does one define immature tipster behavior. Is this a common term of art? I have not heard of it before, although I think I may have seen it as in "I know pornography when I see it."
But then I am only a community college teacher with a masters of arts degree from a California College and we all can share our assumptions about what that means. I joined this list a year or two ago to help me become a better teacher and to further my education. It has done that. One thing I have learned is to delete many posts unread. I sometimes consider dropping from the list because that part has become tedious and annoying. (Iam sure I am not the only one having to manage information.) But I find I am still here and will continue from time to time to contribute. I appreciate open discussion and creative thinking. I am not too fond of arrogance or bullishness. For some reason I am reminded of how often I have to tell my young students that just because I am a psychologist it doesn't mean I have figured out how to have good relationships.

This is foolish blog/National Enquirer/urban legend/ridiculous stuff. Please stop posting things like this that have nothing to do with the teaching of psychology. It’s insulting and irrelevant to the list. To any new subscribers: Please know that we DO post topics that are relevant to the teaching of psychology. And we try to keep a lid on Michael (without much success). But don’t leave us, because we do try to help enlighten the teaching of psychology and we’d like to have input from new members. Beth Benoit Granite State College New Hampshire Beth: You may think that this National Enquirer type of stuff and you are entitled to your opinion.As to your claim that this has nothing to do with the teaching of psychology ,I would beg to differ.This could be part of a discussion on alternative lifestyles and its various applications cross-culturally. It may be irrelevant to the current thread on the list,but it is nevertheless a discussion that could come up in class. I find the idea that new tipsters are leaving the list because of my posts as immature tipster behavior.Intelligence is also the ability to tolerate ambiguity. I am the only tipster on this list who is a divergent thinker in contrast to the conergent thinking of most tipsters re internet links and a penchant for methodological rigidity.
