s/o "I am a DCPCS employee, posting from a DCPCS preschool. (It is naptime and my kids are asleep)"

[Anonymous]

You could
Certainly
Make he argument that the OP was trolling.

[Anonymous]

If what the OP wrote was trolling then Jeff should be checking the IP Addresses of the vast majority of posts on DCUM. Besides, of Jeff believed It was trolling he has the power and the authority to delete the thread altogether. But to the contrary he used inside information to win his verbal battle and to give the OP the creepy feeling that Jeff knew who they were and that they being watched.

He didn't say to the OP, you are probably at work. He said you are at work. There's question about the fact that Jeff was trying to creep out the OP and that misconduct and an abuse of power for a person in Jeff's position.

There is no question about it - Jeff was trying to creep out the OP.

Jeff abused his power not because the OP did anything that was wrong, but because he had a philosophical difference of opinion.

Jeff you abused your power. Just admit that you did something wrong, promise to change and make today a better day. Returned to being the way you used to be.

Work on your reading comprehension. "Abuse and misuse include but are not limited to " the items you mentioned, as well as "chronic rudeness."

[Anonymous]

There was nothing chronically rude about the statement made by the OP. If Jeff decided there was a problem with the thread based on the rules he had the power to delete it, he didn't want to do that because it would not be satisfying enough for him. He wanted a win. He wanted a victory and if he had to sacrifice his ethics to win he would and he did.

[Anonymous]

Include but are not limited to means that it's a non-comprehensive list. The rules are that there are no rules.

And if you think that Jeff's behavior as moderator has changed recently, you haven't been paying attention.

Don't you think teachers should get the same privileges you do? I really hate the negative attitude so many here have toward teachers. If someone spends their day with 3 and 4 year olds, I don't blame them for taking a few minutes for adult interaction (even if it is with adults who frequently don't act their age).

Jeff - Did you forget to log back in as "Anonoymous" to write this comment? I believe you did. You made a huge error to NOT log back into the system as anonymous. What do you really care if someone wrote some posting that has created a great storm? Isn't it earning you more money if someone writes something that is going to make a controversy? Many people post fromwork which earns your money so stop criticizing posters. Go back to being anonymous.

It seems that Jeff has been the person creating allof the storms on this website to creat himself more money. New website anyone?

Jeff - You have no idea what OP is doing at work: you have no idea if he was on his break or was working; you have no idea if he had down time during his time at DCUM. You should be thankful that people are interested enough to look at DCUM during their work day - if in fact you know that OP was at work during the time. How do you know if he was at work? Why would you criticize OP for his post? Probably the issue that OP had was that the preschool teacher was in charge for the PS kids safety and well being. Jeff, do you know whether the OP was in charge of the safety of children when he made the posting?


I'm sure that OP will never return to DCUM during work as many other people do......... You should not have disclosed that OP was at work, not good for your business of attracting people to your website in order to gain revenue from advertisements, right?

[Anonymous]

It seems clear that there are only a few people posting on this thread.

[Anonymous]

Are people still talking about this?

[Anonymous]

This is nonsense.

Jeff was not in any way unethical.

The OP posted stupid and deserves to be embarrassed.

[Anonymous]

Oh so now Jeff has the justification to to use personal information he has acquired through his ownership of DCUM to embarrass people he doesn't agree with???

Jeff Steele should be moderating this forum. He should not be trying to embarrass people with whom he does not agree.

Using insider information to embarrass his followers is a perversion of everything he claims to be.

[Anonymous]

Just want to point out that the teacher in question identified herself as a DCPCS teacher, which would be a charter school, not DCPS. Charter School teachers are not evaluated using IMPACT.

[Anonymous]

I totally support Jeff in this. He used his inside knowledge to try to prevent unethical use of the forum

Jeff - No response to this? You made yourself present on this posting, so I should suppose that you should respond. It looks like OP was concerned that the PS teacher was not watching the children and taking care of the classroom. Was that such a big deal for you to interject in the posting?

Have you been hacked or did you forget to log in as Anonymous? I suppose your other "I support Jeff" on this is actually coming from you yourself, right?
