Libellous? I really doubt wether my comments were either that or rantings as you suggest. As to my 'alleged' qualifications ; I can assure you they are both genuine and hard earned over many years. If you were to read some of my other comments you would be aware that I am only too ready to accept that there are failings throughout the training system. However we are specifically discussing CATC. You are correct to state that we are all products of the college but I must wonder how many people get through despite the training rather than because of it. When you start to look at each instructor and his/her current experience in busy,complex airspace then you MUST query their ability to pass on and teach modern techniques. I have no wish to conduct a witch hunt of individuals at the college but it is in the interest of all operational controllers to get training correct and that process must start at the college. The immediately agressive responses from college staff to my postings only indicates to me that they are aware of the shortcomings of the college and aren't used to having their competency questioned (an annual occurence at operational units).
They would also appear to be unable to have meaningful adult discussions without resorting to childish abuse.
