I've stayed pretty quiet in this discussion up until now, but this 
particular comment I find very insulting.  All of people that I know 
within ALA/ALCTS that worked on the development of RDA are "real world 
catalogers."  We work in all kinds of libraries, large and small, public, 
special, etc.  The RDA testers are real world catalogers working with real 
world resources to catalog.  While there are legitimate concerns about RDA 
and the test and how it impacts our work, comments like this are 
disrespectful and just plain wrong.
