I don't think we were hostile at all, we merely made observations based upon what we have seen in the past from schools and certain teachers who work for those schools. Those certain teachers are usually the stoic shills, who have and will tolerate anything, so are universally loved by their Chinese employers for their ability to put up with crap and not even know it. It's been seen before, and if this isn't you, sorry, but you do fit the bill.
In the end, this is a school and recruiter review site, so you should expect at least some abrasivieness at times. After all, those of us who actually contribute like myself, Silverboy, Turnoi, and AppleBob have been around the block in regards to crap schools, and are pretty much expert on the reality of the ESL scene here in China. In turn you should not be surprised to be met with skepticism at times. I would not take it personally, that you did is not a good thing
You know what? You're all right.
I should have just said this.
Lately, on OTHER sites, there have been some posts regarding the validity of BSK Pacican English. I personally take offence to comments that "real teachers don't work here" or that they are an illegal company. I would not work for such a company, and have personally researched them prior to signing with them.
My email is shanghaiesl@teachers.org . If you're concerned about something you've heard, contact me.
I am a teacher, not a recruiter. A teacher who has actually worked for a public school in my country. I am not brown nosing or trying to make the boss happy. This will be my last year with the company before I move on to another country. I've already stayed longer than I anticipated. So there's really no reason for me to be brown nosing. I just believe in the product.
Thanks

I will note that the responses to my original message were quite hostile. I simply believe in the product, and as I said, when someone takes shots at the teachers in the company, they are taking shots at my foreign friends and colleagues.
Thanks to all for the advice to shorten it up.
