It is clear that some content simply does not belong in the article (the nastiness in pseudo-english, the hate sites), but I call on you and ask you to edit with great caution. If this request is unwelcome, please accept my apology, and let me know, and I will not post to you directly again.

The article, and the school, are clearly under attack by individuals who appear to have strong opinions about the school. Schools are often hated by some of their students. Clearly, it is being defended by an individual who appears to have strong opinions about the school. I don't. I am not perfect, and my edits may be unhelpful, but I most certainly am neutral.- ] 21:45, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

::Point taken. It gets under my skin that these people have no idea whom they're addressing. For all anyone knows, I could be among the members of The Joint Commission who accredited the school, or the Delaware County Director of Social Services, or the D.A. I will make you a promise that I will be civil and make every attempt to be constructive and despite any alleged bias, to take far more caution toward NPOV than those seeking to commit the proverbial hatchet job. I've demonstrated this at length, and have demonstrated it by my silence these past two weeks.

::But, I frankly see no reason why - simply because these same people do not have the courtesy to abide by the rules of the road - it is any less proper for me to edit in retrograde, drawing from the same sources that they themselves present, if for no other reason than they too must exercise caution. That is not a crime. And, to the extent that I may perhaps go to far, I know I can count on you to keep things on an even keel. You won't offend me, because I respect WP and you as an editor; I cannot say the opposition feels likewise.

:::::Honestly, I am shocked by reading these things that are being discussed about the article on the Family Foundation School. I do appreciate your interests in the article and keeping it accurate, but I have an issue with saying the "opposers" of the school hate the school. There was congressional testimony of abuse at the family foundation school and a press release from the family school on the suicide there, and if these are not RS, then I do not know what is. I do feel strongly about showing the other side of the school which the other editors on here do not seem to care about but I think its inclusion is important to the article. I really hope that we can all understand that the school's enrollment has decreased significantly since the congressional testimony and they have made statements to the press that alumni were not telling the truth about the abuse.

::::::Flyboi9: I share the sentiment. Though I must confess that over time I have become a proponent of the school, I am by no means above pointing out its flaws. The revelations that have taken place over the past 18 months have been a source of consternation and concern for me, as well. I have gone to great pains to remain as neutral as is reasonable, which is why I will never arbitrarily delete something that it properly sourced, from a reliable source. It was not I that labeled the Truth campaign a hate site. Let us be honest though, when the campaign takes light-hearted road trip banter and pulls quotes out of context as they did with the "Mike Lossicco Chronicles," that strains the limits of credibility and good journalism, and is objectively dishonest.
