The comment about colleagues refers to reports from a couple of students regarding what they'd been led to expect (not much, frankly) in my classes, as well as a comment by another colleague that it might be, ahem, beneficial that my union work keeps me out of the classroom at present. I was rather hurt by those comments because they were meant to be safely anonymous and because they affected my relationships with students.
On the contrary, you were saying (more or less) that I was wrong, not stupid. That's an important difference, I think.
I have been up since Saturday morning, so I may not be making much sense!!!
