| Jan 19, 2020 at 17:15 | comment | added | aparente001 | @obe - I'd be happy to talk this over with you in chat. Also, have you thought about trying again to share your point of view, with the more positive tone you're using now? I confess I don't remember exactly which part of Jon's post was the key bit that bothered you the most. | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 17:12 | comment | added | obe | @aparente001 I agree that a softer tone would have probably been better received, and overall more civil. It's interesting, however, that your remark may also be applicable for the phrasing in Jon's blog (at least the specific phrase that bothered me). | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 16:33 | comment | added | aparente001 | @obe - I haven't thought about whether your comments should have been removed. Given the much more reasonable tone of your last comment (thanks, by the way), I have a suggestion: maybe think a bit about the difference between You did that wrong and I would do that differently in your shoes because of such and so. With acquaintances, colleagues, friends and family, the latter approach tends to be received more positively, I find. | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 12:03 | comment | added | obe | I realize that I'm in minority here and I also realize that @JonEricson is a valued leader of the community. I am not personally familiar with him or his work, but it's obvious that he is extremely appreciated. I never meant to offend or to suggest that what he did was illegal. I still feel that I would have had an ethical problem to phrase things like he did publicly, but no one nominated me the moral compass of the World (and probably rightly so). However, isn't deleting my comments a little bit extreme? You may not agree with me, but is the discussion not valid? | |

| Jan 18, 2020 at 18:57 | comment | added | Shog9 | As someone with intimate knowledge of the situation, I can say that Jon is being more than fair @obe... Possibly even diplomatic to a fault. All of these criticisms and more have been shared, numerous times, by numerous people including Jon. | |

| Jan 18, 2020 at 15:57 | comment | added | President James K. Polk | Also from that blog post: ...Jobs, including the one I start next week, have just been handed to me.... Nonsense, Jon. You have earned them all. Good luck to Jon, I'm sure he will succeed and be valued at College Confidential. | |

| Jan 18, 2020 at 5:30 | comment | added | aparente001 | @JonEricson - I don't know it extremely well, but what I have picked up on there is an environment of high school and college students, and parents, seeking and providing mutual support. I know I have found it a very supportive environment. I think it will be great fit for you, and you for the site. | |
| Jan 18, 2020 at 1:44 | comment | added | Jon Ericson Staff | I might pick your brain about College Confidential at some point. You know more about the community than I do. ;-) | |
