i think it may also have to do with our idea of vocation and idenity.
if someone insulted your teaching, gilda, and you disagreed with their asessment, that would be a pretty serious issue i suspect. for many people, what they do is so central to their entire idenity, that to attack their work (in their mind) is to attack them personally.
we are a nation of workers...ask someone at a party what they do, and you will not hear about their hobbies or anything else...unless they're unemployed.
