I think we all mostly agree that it wasn't necessary for Hartofsec to bring up Titchou's chapter. That wasn't right. But you know what? Neither was this:

In any other thread, we'd be tripping all over ourselves trying to tell a PNM that we can't explain to her why she was released. Yet here we have an alumna who is making a very specific point of telling a PNM that she did something wrong. Something that is really quite abstract and that there is absolutely no way of knowing from a couple posts on the internet.
It is absolutely possible for a PNM to be given general advice on how to improve her chances for a second recruitment attempt, without digging into the specifics of why she thinks she was released. It's been done on a gazillion other threads. The kind of uninvited criticism above is a bit harsh, especially when it can be phrased in a more generic way without assuming that this PNM had this particular problem.
