Ah. It seems Wiley has not agreed to publish this textbook. That is relief!
I tried to ask Krivit about this textbook, but as I said, he refused
to talk to me. He acted as if I was not there. When I tapped him on
the shoulder he walked away. An extraordinary thing to do!
If he had paused for a moment to answer a few of my questions this
entire misunderstanding could have been avoided. I was planning to
ask who was going to write the chapters and I probably would have
asked about Wiley again. At very least, I would have written to him
first, rather than Wiley.
Jed, your mail talked about the rejection as being of a whole group,
not just you. Did you extrapolate from your own experience to that of
the group, or do you have any other testimony to present? I.e., your
actual experience, or as close to actual quotations of what others
told you as you can muster?
Indeed, extraordinary, but to be expected from the personality type.
It's unfortunate, and signs are that Krivit has been completely
impervious to attempts to encourage him to reconsider, he takes them
all as hostile, attempting to censor or suppress him. I've asked this
before, with no effective response. Does he have any friends he
trusts, who might be able to help him see how he's trashing his
career as an investigative reporter?
