Kenzleacah Kenzleacah New Member Registered: 06/03/08 Posts: 14 Loc: Fayetteville, Georgia	Let me start off by saying that I have been reading this website for weeks now, several hours a day. I am extremely happy with the wealth of info I have found here and I feel 100% more confident in my decision to be an MT now that I have read everything here. I was reading through some posts on a different website and someone asked a question about a certain school that I have read about here in many many posts. I have read good things and bad about this school, but mostly bad. I posted a reply for the OP to check out this website before paying for anything and I was immediately attacked by another member for referring the OP to this site. What is the deal with that? The response said that this site has only negative people who try to scare newbies and that false information is given here about schools and so forth. I am pretty angry that this person thinks that I can't read and understand enough to have seen the number of "graduates" who come here to ask about their school and why they can't get a job. Has this happened to anyone else? _________________________ Information is pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.

The deal with that could be many reasons: 1) An inferior school or a scammer could very well be "posing" as regular board poster and wants to direct you away from the superior schools or non-scams. 2) An MT wannabe went to an inferior school or got scammed and is mad that she/he didn't do their homework better and is now jealous. 3) Some people just like to cause a ruckus. Anyone have anything to add? _________________________ Donna

I like visiting both sites to suck up as much info as I can and for entertainment value. However, I see tons and tons of people praising schools and MT companies that aren't good at all. It's usually the same people doing the praising and, boy, if you disagree with them or give good advice, watch out! I got banned from said site for calling a school an MT mill and recommending a Top 2 school. _________________________ Amanda $\:\)$

I think you are going to get those types of things on any forum with lots of participants. My advice is to just take everything with a grain of salt and keep things in perspective. There are negative people everywhere.

FarAwayDeb FarAwayDeb Member Registered: 03/15/02 Posts: 2789 Loc: just south of Rochester, NY	Originally Posted By: Kenzleacah I was immediately attacked by another member for referring the OP to this site. What is the deal with that? There is obviously information here that some people don't want you to have. Which would make me question their motives, and come here immediately! It's a question of whether you want the truth, or a positive spin. Negative or not, I want the TRUTH. It's MY money, MY future. _________________________ Good grammar ain't easy.
