In other words, in order to have a private off-forum conversation so as to respect and preserve the privacy of both parties, one should post a note saying Please contact me by privately by e-mail, if you wish. Of course, it's dependent on the other person WANTING to have such a conversation and being willing to potentially compromise her identity to the requester.
I hope I make that easy for anyone to talk to me because I don't work there any more and have been public in my positions for quite some time. I am easy to find.
Be absolutely certain Wells administration does monitor this forum and any other where anything even vaguely negative is ever said about Wells. Like so many other people, I can't name names, but I did know an employee who worked for "External Relations" who basically did nothing but dig dirt on people the administration considered "enemies of the college" -- which is pretty loosely defined as anyone who ever said anything negative about the administration at Wells: anyone who opposed their plans or in any way might stand in the way of them. (This included both people on campus and off campus). If, in my opinion, those plans are NOT in the best interests of the Wells I loved, I will stand up and dissent loudly -- which makes me a friend of the real Wells, not an enemy -- but that's my opinion.
All this info goes into files that some of us call The Black List. The employee I mentioned eventually left in disgust, having hired on to do marketing, not to sift other people's lives looking for dirty laundry all day.
I had evidence of all this just the other day when an anonymous poster took an ad hominem potshot at me based on exactly the kind of stuff I expect is in my Black List file (another Wells employee once confirmed that such a file on me does exist, as well as on others).
Obviously, since I have most of this info second-hand (though often a very close second-hand, and they sure seem to be confirmed by some of my own first-hand experiences), I couldn't swear to it in a court of law. But it is my opinion that I've heard enough info from enough people in places where they would know that I can believe it to be true.
So for obvious reasons, sometimes I'd like to follow-up or chat with someone here or there off-forum -- though I do want to respect people's desire for privacy and will understand if they prefer to remain unto themselves.
