Dear list-members,
I thought that I would share this with you. Since the deletion of Prof Robert Segal following his many spats with N.W. Azal, I have received a number of increasingly abusive offlist rants - to which I won't reply because they are pompous, self-regarding and hysterical - regarding his disbelief that he was deleted. This is his latest (and thought I would share because this is clearly what he thinks of the contributors here):
"Your list seems to attract C-listers: nonacademics, career PhD students, and staffers at former polytechnics.
You never did recognize the difference between disagreement and bigotry. It is you who should have been apologizing to me.
Our paths will never cross again.

The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683."
Ironically, he sought my advice about setting up his the myth JISCMAIL list because of the positive experiences he had on here. I like the man as an academic, though I often disagree with his takes on Jung and Campbell, but honestly, is this what academia is about? It's just depressing ...
