[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's post was offensive too. Assuming that the women were behaving in a certain way because they were jewish. OP, imagine if I suggested that the women were being competitive and passive aggressive because they were Asian and asked the Asian DCUMers to tell me how long they were going to keep it up. Does it not bother you that there are people who think that way?

And, as the spouse of someone who does scientific research, it does to me sound like you did something very obnoxious and not within the normal boundaries. If you were working on a paper and had full knowledge that one of your colleagues was working on the same thing and then just pushed through to get yours out faster without being open about it... that might not be against any written rules, but there are rules of honor and it sounds like you broke those. You should have been open and up front with your colleagues. Yes, there is a reason for their "passive agressiveness". They don't trust you. They don't want to share anything about what they are doing with you because you might take the information and run with it and cut them out.

If you really have published so much more then them, it would have been so much more collegial to have worked WITH them and helped them get their paper out. You didn't need it and it would have made a world of difference to them. And you would now have colleagues who would have your back.[/quote]

No - the papers were not on the same topic. At all. They included the same clinical population but that was where the similarity ends. No - I didn't say I have "published so much more than them". I said I published previously. They had published 0. I have published 5. Ask your spouse if he would have held back on submitting a paper on a completely unrelated topic, just so that his colleague could publish before him, if he had 5 publications.

I do make jokes about Asians so I guess my OP and this fact together would confirm I am racist. [/quote]
