Please, please, please Bill, TIPS moderator, see this as one last example of why this guy needs to be removed from this list. I know the current extinction strategy is in place, and I know Bill's comittment over the years to free speech, but there is no real value of this person to the teaching of psychology list, other than bringing up controversial issues to respond to. I have seen this and been part of this list since it began, and more good people have left the list because of him that have joined, and I have resisted responding, but there is so much good a list like this can do to have someone who has time on his hands ruin. We all know I think that his examples of questions "A student asked me this....... another faculty member did this..." are all made up. We saw earlier that his "adjunct" status to a bunch of colleges was not true or exaggerated, so come on. We've got great people on this list with great minds and ideas, let's bring it to that level, rather than have it whither because of someone who is interested, imho, of reading his own posts and responses. This is the only list of its kind in our field, and I've hated to see it continue to deteriorate.

If I get the schizophrenic,that person would probably look at the ocean for 8 hours and would not interrupt my day to day activities.On the other hand,if I get the manic-depressive,I would be forced to sing Handel's Messiah a couple of times and then imitate the hounds of Baskerville. Which one of these would generate more complaints from my Home owners association?
