Oh, my...I have so many experiences in my background to bounce this story off of, Toby. I've co-authored journal articles, a memoir, and an anthology, and there is so much ego you are always navigating. Actually, I've been really lucky in finding a co-author for the memoir and anthology who is a generous and wonderful woman, but I've run into this stuff with academic pieces that have made me want to scream. So I really appreciated this piece, and yes, as Sydelle says below, "really people are like this." (Deep sigh....)
