JP: "Why doesn't Loyd Ericson talk directly to Jeff Bradshaw and resolve the situation?"

Good question. That seems the obvious first step.

Just correcting some things here. I have no desire to argue with Dan or anyone, since Dan has made it clear that he nothing to do with the book that his organization and one of the VPs (Bradshaw) published.

I did speak with Bradshaw, hoping there was a better explanation for what he did. I only went public after he repeatedly refused to address the concerns I raised with him.

L.E.: "Dan has made it clear that he nothing to do with the book that his organization and one of the VPs (Bradshaw) published."

To reiterate: I didn't say that.

I haven't discussed it with him. I didn't know that there was even an issue until late last night or early this morning. I know only what you've written about the matter.

I'll probably talk with him about it at some point, but I have no information to add and, as of now, no particular opinion to share.

Daniel,

The person to talk to would be Lloyd Ericson.

Fine. If you don't want to talk to Jeff Bradshaw about what Jeff Bradshaw allegedly did to Loyd Ericson, talk to Loyd Ericson about what Jeff Bradshaw allegedly did to Loyd Ericson.

Don't continue to clutter this blog up with comments to me about it. I know nothing about the matter except for what I've read from Loyd Ericson.

And please note the correct spelling of his name.

Daniel,
I wish the best Interpreter Foundation, and have often benefited from the things you and the organization have published.
I am disturbed with the cavalier way you are responding to this matter. If true, this is a serious breech of academic ethics, published by your publishing house, written by a Vice President of your organization. You have responsibility here, I would hope that you take it seriously.

Andrew: "I am disturbed with the cavalier way you are responding to this matter."

"Cavallier" is the wrong way to describe my response. The fact is that, while we published Jeff's book and likely would have published his review, we commissioned neither of them. I understood that he obtained an Advanced Reader's Copy of the book, but I had no reason to see anything problematic in his having done so.

I had no idea whatever that there might be an issue until late last night or early this morning. Even now, I haven't heard anything about it from anybody besides Loyd Ericson. So I'm not exactly in a position to declare judgment on it.

Andrew: "If true, this is a serious breech of academic ethics, published by your publishing house, written by a Vice President of your organization. You have responsibility here, I would hope that you take it seriously."

To the extent that I personally bear responsibility, if I do at all, it's very, very limited. But I don't think it fair to expect me to respond instantly with Solomonic judgment when I'm in Florida watching my granddaughter while Jeff Bradshaw is in southwestern Idaho (as far as I know) and when I know only the plaintiff's side of the matter. (And, to be perfectly candid, the plaintiff is someone who has not, in my experience with him, always been, umm, strictly fair let alone sympathetic. We've basically avoided each other for the past several years, with careful civility and no real interaction -- which is how I would have preferred to continue. So I'm not prepared to condemn a friend quickly and on the basis of the complaint alone.)

Thanks for correcting the spelling of my name After decades of seeing it misspelled on trophies, awards, certificates, yearbooks, programs, etc., it's a real pet peeve of mine.

One of the Interpreter Foundation's authors requested a book under the pretense of writing a review for the Interpreter Foundation, and then used information from that book to publish another book through the Interpreter Foundation.

Implicating the Interpreter Foundation is therefore the same as implicating the entire population of the United States.

The math checks out.
