It was meant entirely tongue in cheek and no disrespect was intended. It was also a reference to mind-wiping films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but apologies nonetheless if anyone was offended.

Well said John, agree. I know that the comments were surely not meant to be disrespectful but having read them just now, it made me feel very uncomfortable.

Dear colleagues Although there is some degree of tongue in cheek about our comments on 'wetakeyourclass', I very strongly object to comments that seem to attribute negative characteristics to all members of any social or ethnic group or nationality.

So sad to read about students being scammed by Paper Mill sites who don't cheat for them like they said they would - especially students like the one in the complaint which Helen sent through: http://we-take-your-class.pissedconsumer.com/917-300-9820-wetakeyourclass-com-scam-20120723334071.html Honestly, what is the world coming to when even charlatans don't keep their word?! The student in question even has a kid and a husband who's being deployed (did she not think of sending some other guy to be deployed in his place, though? And they really have to do something about that company name - who thought 'This is horsecrap' was going to work as a brand - except of course, they are actually marketing manure). Still, it's a touching story and nearly had me reaching for the Kleenex till I remembered that I now subscribe to wwww.i-weep-for-you.com - who take care of all my sympathy needs in one convenient monthly online package, allowing me to manage life's ups and downs virtually without a care in the world ... They care, so I don't have to ....
