If you believe this you’ve either lost touch with reality or desperate to astroturf your behaviour. Either way there’s no convincing you to stop your crusade

I tend to take statements at face value. I don’t read into hints or implied messages. If someone tells me something directly, I respond directly.
If, in 2023, Will Sentance had reached out to say, “Your comments are upsetting staff, can we talk about your concerns?” I believe this situation could have unfolded very differently.
Instead, the first direct message I received from Will Sentance was in 2025. It demanded an apology based on allegations that I had “abused” his family, an accusation I categorically reject, and it was signed with promotional metrics: “Will Sentance (CEO, Codesmith — 1M+ taught, 4,000+ full-time graduates).”
