[nagdu] Why people don't criticize schools

[Margo and Arrow]

I also notice that if I say my school does a certain thing, people say their
school does, too, but, that school may not do that thing but somehow people
have to say their school does that, too.  

I've had this occur and have asked a couple of times about ways of doing
things that other schools do in training and I then find that their schools
do things a bit differently.  

Hope this made sense.  Am trying to be very tactful here.

It's as if people get defensive or something.

I don't know why other people don't speak of negative experiences publicly,
but, for me, it's not so much what the school might do but what their
devotees might do.  If I say that School X did such-and-so, it's quite
possible people will jump all over me for saying so.  I once criticized
GDB's ownership policy on a GDB users' list, and got attacked from every
direction.  I don't need that crap.  Also, if I like most things about my
school, I don't want to run them down in public.  Also, I don't want to
criticize someone else's school in the same way I wouldn't want to criticize
their friends publicly.  It just annoys people.


I think most GDB grads don't apply for ownership out of inertia.  If the
situation were reversed, and one had to apply for GDB to own the dog, most
people wouldn't do that, either.
