You think I was being bossy? You were being incredibly argumentative when all I was trying to do was ask a few questions. ^Alright, I call shenanigans on this.

"I mean, I haven't been hired yet, [...] so why do you care so much how I would teach it?" How strange that a search committee for a semester replacement would be interested in a candidate's pedagogical strategy prior to hire! What were we thinking?

I agree that it's most likely not the person, because even though candidates don't have to be hush hush, there are legal issues for SC members. However, I also agree with others that you should keep things on the DL as a candidate. Avoid gossip, but if you must (because some people really do suck), do it only AFTER you have a written job offer (and only if you know there is no connection between those individuals [remember you still have to work toward tenure]). I only talked about a search committee member's inappropriate behavior (not revealing the instution or the person's name) AFTER I got a job offer from another institution. Also, from my experience, junior SC members don't really have much power in SCs. Because of politics, junior SC members usually just nod to whatever the tenured faculty say so you might still have a chance yet ;D

Actually, I'm a junior faculty member on a search committee right now and it's the other way around. Tenured members could care less and have essentially given over the decision-making reigns to us, lowly, un-tenured types.
Maybe just don't talk smack during open season on the job market? To anyone....you never know who is really making the decisions or the politics of a particular department.
