the above link offers a correct explanation regarding Cameron’s claim that he resigned from the APA before beinig dismissed.

I suggest you read it, Phillips

He was ‘dismissed’, you can see the letter online. However, they had already accepted his resignation (also see letters online) a full year before that. He then, per request of the APA president at the time, submitted an editorial explaning his decision in the APA’s journal, and pretty much said they’d become more of a liberal PAC than a vehicle for honest reseach. It apparently sent them off…they even felt it necessary to send every single member a letter informing them of his expulsion.

if this is the case then why did he, in 2005 and in front of the Virginia Legislature, admit that he was dismissed from the American Psychological Association?

You can find this out by reading the following article – The Star Witness for bill’s sponsor faces harsh criticism from a Senate committee,

Nice try Mr. Cameron or whomever you are, but it’s not going to work.

“*Pietrzyk claims that Cameron advocated the “extermination of male homosexuals.”

Response: The Forum interviewer remarked that many societies have considered homosexuality a capital crime. Noting that it would be cheaper to kill homosexuals in primitive societies than jail or quarantine them is hardly an endorsement. In fact, Cameron is quoted in the same article as saying that such an idea is “not politically, ethically or socially acceptable” today. Where former Surgeon General Koop got his information is mystifying. He never asked Dr. Cameron whether he advocated such a policy.”

And it was a resignation, not an expulsion, the APA president sent him a letter accepting his resignation letter (though they did ‘expell’ him after he made an utter fool of them in his editorial in the APA journal explaining his resignation).

Throw enough hand grenades (or journalism) at anything and you’re going to have some effect

I think it was my email, but then maybe blogging is like hand grenades and journalism

I think I’ll choose to believe it was my e-mail. :-)
