Lars, are you saying Hyde contacted you after you started posting on this website? Are you saying Hyde is monitoring this website?"

They sure are. Why wouldn't they? They're not used to dealing with situations they can't control and this site is bad PR for them. Nosy bastards called me, then mentioned it in a fundraising letter to my folks.

In this day and age, prospective employers often google potential employees to see if they've been posting on the internet in blogs or discussion boards. Guess what? Even successful graduates of Hyde may not want to associate ourselves with the place. I'm a successful graduate, but I've achieved success in spite of Hyde, not because of it. The place is an embarrassment to me. Also, when the school figured out who I was, they actually contacted me and later mentioned it to my parents in a fundraising appeal. Hyde does not respect anyone's privacy and I don't want anything to do with the place. Forunately, in my profession (law) and most others, nobody cares what you did in high school. Still, I'd rather not have my name associated with the place. So to all the jerks trying to get people to out themselves, get a clue. Life is not a Hyde seminar."

Lars: Who called you from Hyde? And what did they say to you?
StephenLong:
I am not associated with Hyde, other than having been a student there. The only reason I found this website is because a friend who knows I went to Hyde sent me a link.
Opinions about what Hyde was or is like are fine. My biggest problem with the Anonymous posters are the ones who make accusations of criminal acts, but won't state their names.
If are not willing to sign your name to such an accusation, you shouldn't make it. I believe many of the posters who make such statements are just being slanderous and I want to make sure that everyone who reads the posts realize that.

This isn't AA! It is a discussion board about a school, not a therapy session.
And I am not talking about "busting" anyone's anonymity. I am talking about being an adult and letting people know that you are willing to stand up for what you have to say.
