At first glance, I can see how people might think this. But please re-read the OP. She was clearly giving a little bit of background information from her viewpoint and asking for advice. At first read, I thought this was the usual "dirty laundry" post...but it really isn't. It becomes clear when you ask what the dirty laundry was? There wasn't any being aired. It was simply advice for an appropriate response. She wasn't bashing anyone really. Yes, she made a few erroneous observations. But she wasn't doing it in the tone that leads to something being really negative. I don't believe her post was at all negative towards her team, the student, or really the mentor. She was very professional about it.

A final note: Don's post is an example of why this thread belongs here. That is honestly some of the best advice I've read here in weeks. It is something I still struggle with, but is very wise. If for nothing else, this thread belongs here because it brings out posts like that. Afterall, if we aren't here for some wisdom...what are we here for?
