I'm way behind on my mail, but after filtering the unnamed individual out of my email after asking him several legitimate questions and being ignored, I too must add my protestation to the continuation of this individuals membership on the list. Besides, after his promise to go underground for several months (which lasted several days) I can see no reason to post any of his rantings, and fishing posts.
I like this list and respect most of the members. I'd like to keep it that way. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:57:42 -0700 (PDT) >From: <tay...@sandiego.edu> >Subject: Re: [tips] Schizophrenic or manic-depressive >To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" <tips@acsun.frostburg.edu> > >MANY good people have gone over to psychteach primarily because of the >inappropriate behavior on this list, and we have lost their input on this >list.

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum. - Charles Caleb Colton, author and clergyman (1780-1832) . Not thinking critically, I assumed that the "successful" prayers were proof that God answers prayer while the failures were proof that there was something wrong with me. - Dan Barker, former preacher, musician (b. 1949) . We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible. - Barack Obama, President of the United States of America --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
