This is the final edition of Names People Call Us. I think the list is quite extensive although I'm sure there are even more names you may have been called. The main use I see from these is to affirm that we are all in a society that views what we do with a variety of intense feelings, many which are negative or questioning. I know I felt a lot better when I would find out at conferences and meetings that others were scoffed at, teased in nasty ways and generally put-down. I never felt like I was a radical person, and was often hurt by the vehemence of some peoples angry attacks. Lets help all our new colleges know this is par for the course. We've all been there.
