A dog told me you had sex with it! Here is a quote:
Bark bark bark bark Brandon bark bark bark.
It must be true. I think I will post this on a blog or a website. Brandon like to have sex with animals! I just proved it!
Man, it must suck to be you. Honestly. You have nothing better to do?
Anyway, I do. So good luck. I will not be replying further.

The vast majority people I've talked to think it's worthless.

"Even some people who pass are not happy—maybe they are just jerks"
Yeah, or maybe it's the course that sucks and "teachers" like Mike who do nothing but lose peoples' work.....even after you claim to have received that same work....Mike has contradicted himself so many times in his e-mails that I really can't believe anything that either one of you say.

I could tell you EXACTLY why. We got him fired from his job for taking pics of girls panties under the table with his phone camera. For the past 3 years he has sent fake applications to schools all over Thailand calling our Academic Director and his wife lots of unpleasant things and claiming to have found my secret porn stash.
We fail about 5 percent of the people who take the course. Do the math. 2,700 students x 5 percent. A lot of potential hatred there. It comes with the territory. I do not worry about it. Our course feedback is excellent. Even some people who pass are not happy—maybe they are just jerks. Lots of them around. Today, just sitting in a café in Ban Phe, 5 grads came by and said hello from 2 to 5 years back. The vast majority of our trainees loved the course. That is just a fact backed up by empirical evidence. Some people do not. That's life.
The guy has been claiming for years that he hacked our school computer system and found "Bruce's porn stash". Here's the problem with his claim—at the time he made the claim I did not have a computer at the school. I usually work from home and always on my notebook which is not connected to any network. In fact, since the school opened, I never had a computer that was hooked to the network.
Did he find porn on the school network? Maybe. There were four computers that were basically for internet access by trainees. I know one of our Thai staff has been said to download porn. The fact is hundreds, if not thousands of people had access to the network. We had a ladyboy take our course a few years back andhe/she had al kinds of interesting pics of him/herself. Saying it was mine was just a lie.
You may think that people who have extra marital affairs are unethical. That's a valid opinion. But, like it or not, the world is filled with people who have had extra marital affairs. Its not illegal in most countries. And, when you start judging, some people think that pre marital sex is immoral and unethical. In fact, Mormons do! Just curious—are you a virgin? If not, would you like to be branded as unethical?
In summary, we have a person who has made wild and unsubstantiated accusations before now making… more wild and unsubstantiated claims. Is there ONE PERSON who has come forward to confirm I have met them for sex? Its my private Email account, right? Should be pretty easy. Email them and ask them. Oh, all we have is one freak making baseless claims? Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
I just find it fascinating how much time and effort this guy (and a few others) put into this utter nonsense.

Well, if you say so.
I agree that men are as interesting as chairs but someone who is married and makes sexual advances with both men and women doesn't strike me as someone with much integrity.
Sure, people can be bi or gay and that're their business, but, call me old-fashioned, I believe married people should be loyal to their spouses.
I know mormonism has a history of polygamy and maybe that's the way you were raised but it still strikes me as primitive and unethical.
I just can't imagine why people (who passed the TEFL course, i.e. didn't quit like me) would just make this kind of thing up for no reason at all.
I'm not talking about or referring to anything I've found on the internet either. I'm talking about what people have been sending me about you....people who have met you in person, passed the course in Ban Phe (not long-distance) accessed the computers there and are describing their experiences and impressions of you and your company.

Anyone who knows me, including my wife and my many gay friends, know that I am not gay or bisexual. Not even any tendencies towards this. My wife has kicked me for looking a little too long at an attractive girl. Never at a guy. Just not me. Again, I have gay friends. We have had long discussions about homosexuality. Its their choice what they do between consenting adults. For me, men are as interesting as chairs—and that is exactly what I tell my gay friends.
Just goes to show you how much utterly ridiculous crap you can find on the internet.
But if you get your kicks by believing it is true, heck, go ahead! It really makes absolutely no difference to me. In fact, if I were bisexual, would it even be your business? Unless I was doing something illegal it would not be. Last time I checked, a LOT of people are Gay and quite a few are bi. So?

Where there's smoke there's fire and there's a whole lot of smoke comin' outta Ban Phe!!
I thought Mormons weren't allowed to be gay/bisexual.
How do you reconcile the two? I'm genuinely curious.
You'd make a great case study :)

Who is Milliband David?
And what's this I hear about IRS Investigations and child pornography on your computer?
I'm also hearing about you being a mormon and being bisexual.
How interesting!
Are you still "enjoying your laugh"?
It won't take long for you to be exposed, moreso, for what a piece of crap person you are.
Brandon
