Don't get me rong.  I like hyde.  It was a great thing for me. I find as I read stuff on this board I agree with those that are both pro and con, but I am really reluctant to put my name on anything.



Sue Doenym"

First of all, love the "Sue Doenym."  Secondly YES I do find it odd that no one seems to want to identify themselves, but I understand it. Do you realize what the people at Hyde could do if I post my name?

First of all when signing your name you open yourself up to the entire internet. If you "google" that persons name it will direct you to this post.  Many professionals might want to get their bad experiences off of their chests yet don't want it advertised all over the internet.  It also could injure someone's career by posting their names on the net.  Another reason could be the retailiation from Hyde when a former teacher needs a recommendation.  I know of a former teacher who wanted to sue Hyde, but was concerned for their future if they went ahead with it.

There are many reasons people wish to remain anonymous and mine is that Hyde could retailiate and hurt my chances of a job in the education field. I am sure that these former students and parents have other good reasons for not wanting to sign their names.

"Hyde incorporates AA practices and principles in many ways. Anonymity is a cornerstone of AA. Why, then, is it so unacceptable to you, Stephen Long and others, to practice anonymity in this forum about Hyde?"

This isn't AA! It is a discussion board about a school, not a therapy session.

I am talking about being an adult and letting people know that you are willing to stand up for what you have to say.

Google my name and you will get 137,000,000 responses. Really, I just did it! I went through the first 5 pages and didn't find a single reference to myself. In fact I didn't realize there were so many Stephen Long's in the world!!!

Get a backbone and stand up for what you say.
