Woof woof

You're absolutely right, anyone thinking of going to WMU would be justified in wanting to know everything about the place. However, like I said in response to http's post reference this subject, this is a RUMOUR network and rumours have been known to ruin reputations and livelihoods. Speculating about this subject here will, if the rumour is untrue, probably ruin at least someone's reputation and possibly their employability - once tarnished in print no-one wants to touch you. Do you really want to be responsible for that? I sincerely hope not.

On the other hand, if the rumour is true, then once again, speculation on a public forum is not what (I hope) we all consider to be the correct course for absolute fairness and justice. Or are you just another beleiver in The Sun - as we all know, everything reported in that tabloid is absolutely true (yeah, right!)?

Anyone thinking of going to WMU is likely to be well aware of their web site which contains all the e-mail addresses of the instructors. Since these are published there one has to assume that they have no objection to potential customers asking questions in confidence which I am sure will be answered honestly, if confidentially.

Do yourself and everyone else a favour and stop spreading rumours about people and their livelihoods.
