hmm.. recently (well, past month or two or so…) there seems to this slate of bash-ACS-and-or-Sitiawan-Wesley posts appearing in blogs.. can’t really comment on how true (or not) the posts are, besides noticing that for the most part they’re full off outrage/dissatisfaction/disappointment/some confusion…
as for my 2 cents (being a newcomer — you could say long term "visitor") to sitiawan and all its problems — or lack thereof — since i couldnt / didnt notice any of the things that were mentioned on those posts, well… i think there’s a few things that i would like to point out..
1) what are the objectives/aims of blogging on those issues?
cuz from what i see, its mainly just a vent, and also from what i see, the posts almost seems like its been copied from one blog to another. is it that once someone has posted, the others suddenly feel "free" to join in as well..more or less just rewording some parts? cuz if thats the case, it doesnt bring anybody closer to a solution. (the more it is mentioned, the more ppl think about it and the more ppl start to feel the same way, leading to a worse problem — or the perception that the problem is worsened)
So, IMHO, unless you really have something new to add, please please do not take inspiration from the "anger" posts and reword them into your own. it doesnt help. plus one post (well-worded, insightful and true) will probably spread of its own accord quite fast — so repeating it does not really help "expose the situation so that it may more easily be solved"
2) do you really think that blogging about it will help solve the prob?
or is it an excuse just to "shoot" those - even tho those ppl may indeed be bitches/backstabbers/hypocrites/whatever - in public , even tho names are not added.
and for the record… i’ve always regarded sitiawan wesley’s myf as quite enjoyable (esp pre-and-post-fellowship *grin*) and thought provoking — (marriage anybody?)
as for ACS, well.. i do regard it a extremely good school .. and damn fun to be in.
