Alasdair Richmond

Dr. Richmond, a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Edinburgh whom I've never met, sent me a long, somewhat rambling e-mail last week, to which I replied.  The reply did not satisfy him (though I'm still not sure why), and he sent me an increasingly bizarre set of gratuitously insulting e-mails.   I now am informed that he has taken to e-mailing lots of philosophers, including people he doesn't even know, to complain about me [!] (including circulating a screen shot of my Facebook page [we are not FB friends, and my page is not public] where I had complained about him because of the gratuitously abusive e-mails he had sent me), but without anywhere revealing the obnoxious and insulting e-mails he had sent to me that had provoked the comments to my FB friends.  If you are a recipient of his misrepresentations, and would like more information, feel free to contact me.
