Let me add that while I've been wrong on DL personalities before, the mistakes have been relatively few and in those instances I have admitted I was wrong.
I was initially wrong about ShotoJuku - he's an honorable, intelligent guy with his heart in the right place. The same goes for Little Fauss.
I thought that Quinn Tyler Jackson was a man of principle who would never back down in the face of a hostile crowd - we know what happened with that.
I believed that Rich Douglas was too rigid and inflexible in his views on accreditation - while we still disagree his views are thoughtful and not simply a reflexive RA only response.
I originally thought that Gollin was well-intentioned but misguided and heavy-handed - I was wrong, he's an egotistical, pompous blowhard.
At one point I gave Robert Ray Hill the benefit of the doubt - bad call, his continued affiliation with bogus schools has shown him to be a outright shill.
I believed that John Bear could once again be a major figure in the field by avoiding partisanship and taking on a senior statesman role. That hasn't happened yet so I guess that I was wrong there as well.
