Thomas Edison Sucks

[psclements]

Also, I believe the original author's real point is that TESC's customer service is bad. Rather than TESC is bad.

I am somewhat puzzled by this statement. You took what the original author said and tried to restate it in an productive way. I think that you have only confirmed part of my argument. In its original form there is little usefulness to the comment.

Let's take a minute and look at what the author said:

"Don't make the stupid mistake that I did by choosing them. Go with EC!"

Even after he was asked to clarify:

"They are slow, and they don't care. Their main response if you have a problem is basically "tough luck". So, I say without hesitation or apology that they suck - avoid them. Why give money to a place like that when EC has such a great reputation?"

I am having a hard time reading those statements and being able to say that I have learned something useful or helpful about TESC. Are you able to do this?

See, you can get a good feel for someone's intent by what they write and how they go about stating their thoughts. Think about it, if he were trying to provide useful information to the forum would he have said what he said...the way he said it? Probably not. What if he were trying to get back at TESC because he was mad or his feeling were hurt? That seems to be a little more likely.

I feel differently. The more information I have the better.

You don't feel differently. That is one of the points I made. The more information the better!!! We differ when it comes to the "information" part. You would say that "Don't make the stupid mistake that I did by choosing them. Go with EC!" is information or data. I would say that it is not information or data.

Now, if after reading this thread and you enrolled and still compained about the customer service, then I don't know what to say.

Again, this was one of my points. He had the opportunity to read the different posts on this site that discussed their customer service. From what I understand he was on this forum before he decided to enroll at TESC....and he is still complaining.

The original author of the thread did not say the other 2 are perfect.

Not exactly but close..."Why give money to a place like that when EC has such a great reputation?"

I again respectfully disagree. Buyer beware. The more the buyer is made aware, the more they can look out for themselves...

I think I said this earlier but did you read his post? That isn't buyer beware. Can you imagine if I started a post that said "TESC is the greatest college ever...don't make a mistake by choosing another college...you would be stupid!" Readers would immediatley feel cheated. Where is the substance to support a comment like that. They would ask..can you tell us why you say these things? I could respond with...They are faster than anyone else, and they care. Their main response if you are struggling with your studies is "don't worry, we'll just give you an A". So, I say without hesitation or apology that they rock - pick them. Why give money to any other place like EC that has such a horrible reputation? Again the reader would feel cheated because I haven't really said anything useful.

(You caught what I just did...I used his words...Just in case you didn't catch it)

Here is the problem in my mind. If we allow, encourage, or foster posts like this then all we end up with are pages of people blasting off with useless information, inflammatory comments, and if we really call it for what it is...it is nothing more than an attack on TESC. This site will no longer be a place that someone can come and find helpful information. You will have to weed through page after page of wasted characters to find something that will help you.

I like it the way it was...people making useful, productive, and truthful comments for the better of everyone else.

Do you really disagree??
