As a general rule, I tend to believe a lot of what Psy guy says, unless someone else comes in and says something different. If the other person is ready to argue then I'll most likely believe the them and not Psy guy as I really don't believe that there are many of us teachers who sit at home after a hard day at work thinking "great, here comes another argument".
I personally have found many of Psy guys comments to be very useful and have been genuinely grateful for his responses. He certainly does have some decent knowledge of some certain areas, and I have found some of perspectives on job fairs and interviews to be very useful, well thought out, and often quite unique. However, I feel that he often discredits himself by posting advice on things that he clearly knows nothing about, and has no experience of. When challenged on those things, it then becomes a personal battle between him and other posters and unfortunately many threads go off the original topic and end up being about him having it out with someone.
I really appreciate the presence of ISR and try to support the forum as much as I can in hope that it will continue to grow, but i am often put off from posting because I just dont want to get drawn in. Too many times already I've had to fight myself to ignore his provocative comments which, for me, take the pleasure out of contributing.
