Karen XYZ has no credibility, she destroyed that herself when she failed to disclose the fact that the website she manages (strugglingteenhelp.com) is owned by one of the 4 programs she recommends to parents-in-crisis.
Are we back to this? ?Destroyed herself??
Jesus Christ, can you point to the message that states or proves the "fact" that she ?manages? a "WEBSITE"? The issue was answered in this thread:

*I* do not make referrals. Ever.
*I* do not make referrals in the traditional sense of the word at all.
There are occasions, few and far between, when a parent calls me or writes as a result of something they've seen on the web that I wrote. Usually, but not always, as a result of the editorial I have up on Lon's site:
I do explain I MODERATE THE FORUM (and point out it could be a handy place to go for certain kinds of additional info) but that the help request info page goes to a group of ed consultants, not me.

And:
it has only been recently that Karen's name was taken off the PURE Parent Volunteer List. Isn't that correct, Karen?
This issue has already been addressed as well at:

Apparently you read the link were I explained about Sue's list, and how I was on it due to a misunderstanding and asked to be removed and why - So, I don't understand what your asking or why.
As far as me not knowing if I was still on it - thats just b/c I hadn't bothered to go look.
Sue told me she'd get it off, but it might take a while, b/c web masters are busy people. All I ment was it was off or soon would be - I didn't know at the time if it was yet.
I don't see it as a big deal. I don't understand why anyone does.
For the umptenth time, I am not associated with PURE, never have been and don't want to be.

Anon, Do you have any new information that would prove otherwise, which might actually interest the PUBLIC, or are you just needing to rag on about your imaginings again? Put up or shut up.
WHY are you taking us back to issues that have already been addressed, and posing your comments as questions, as Carey does?
I loathe Ed Cons or anyone else with a role in the Industry. I'm not defending Karen. If she is paid by the program to REFER or to MODERATE the LISTSERVE, and you can prove it, then dish up the proof. Now, that is something that would be of interest to the PUBLIC. Unless you have some evidence to post. Your ramblings continue to be a waste of time.
