Which is why I don&#x27;t support that when there is no way for anyone to evaluate the truth of what is being said.  I agree with you that the original complaints seems likely to be truthful given Jared&#x27;s response, but the fact that Jared validated one also opens up the possibility that other people would pile on untruthfully.  I don&#x27;t like it personally.<p>Anonymous feedback within an organization is a very different thing than posting something like this publicly.  I don&#x27;t even care specifically whether it has a name attached; if it was an anonymous account that had some other posting history, a person could at least look at the other comments posted by this person and decide for themselves whether this person comes off as someone with an axe to grind or not.
