In the American Corporate world to use the ...Edwin,<br />In the American Corporate world to use the same colleague in two negative examples in any context (conversation, formal meeting, etc.) is tantamount to either declaring war or having a tantrum. To do so in the public context of a printed piece simply ups the stakes. Now, I suppose that on the other side of the pond the accepted conventions of politeness could be different -- but frankly, Brits are generally considered and expected to be more (not less) polite than those of us who have dropped the "u"s from most of our spelling. Had you picked one of his titles among a score more generated by others then I might consider the possibility that he was being sensitive. That you picked two, according to every convention of accepted behavior to which I have ever been exposed, is outside the pocket. And, I do truly suspect that the acclaim that Kip's work has been receiving is the true cause. Also, his titles rock. If you lack the breadth of exposure to culture (popular and otherwise) to recognize that, well-- I consider that a failure on your part also. Now -- do you see what I did there? I picked a second thing for which to criticize you. How did that feel? Did it feel objective? Did it feel fair or right? And mine was with cause given that you "drew blood" of my blood. When you started it was unprovoked.

Not sure why this implies ...Dear American Niece #2,<br />Not sure why this implies ‘jealousy’. Most certainly Rufus Stone has a far reaching influence across academia and the 'real' world. I have read both of Kip's papers we quoted and value them. That does not take away that interesting, humorous, obscure, funny, exciting, or whatever you may call titles such as ‘Title tittle-tattle’, ‘On a train from Morgantown: A film script’ or ‘How Did I Get to Princess Margaret? (And How Did I Get Her to the World Wide Web?’.<br />I’m also not sure since when offering critique of a colleague’s academic work is juvenile, but I’m sure that’s my lack of ‘youthful’ insight.<br /><br />Edwin van Teijlingen, Bournemouth University. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824949404196190821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489189090051303937.post-58491000334571136562014-04-17T01:23:22.628+01:002014-04-17T01:23:22.628+01:00That this was done by colleagues from your univers...That this was done by colleagues from your university, to me, implies jealousy on their part. Rufus Stone has had a large impact on a far flung audience. From film festivals to NY Times, Rufus Stone is making a name for itself and for you. Can the same be said of their work? I spend a lot of time with juveniles and this is exactly the type of behavior I am accustomed to seeing when one set feels another is getting too much attention. <3 You -- American Niece #2.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
