Hi,
Prof, did you get my PM?
I think that explains everything in detail.
just to clarify, I did not intend to change my original stance; as I DO think it would be wise to be careful in dealing with Matt in order to avoid the sentiments that Randy and I both share.
in matters such as someone’s reputation, I think it is important to do all possible to avoid trashing someone’s rep
while at the same time it is also very important to speak up and perhaps save others from stepping into the same pitfalls
which is what I have tried to do here.
its just that you have to step oh-so-careful to try and do every side justice that it might seem that I or we are being too vague, but to accomplish the above, vague is what I thought the best path to take.
suffice to say that several people now have come forward to say that they too have had less than expected results or experiences with Matt and therefore the reader should make their decisions accordingly.
edited to add:
as far as keeping Matt out of private areas, is a decision that is yours to make and I personally don’t have anything against his having access; now that I know what to expect from Matt.
But I also totally understand your decision and do not think it unjust.
