[c-nsp] Alert: Correction

Seems more like lawyers were involved in this. It is not uncommon for an AUP to have verbiage that restricts you from talking about your experiences with a product.

Nothing like drawing attention to something.

If he gave his personal opinion, why does the University of Toledo care?
 It's not your bell to try to unring.  If you disapprove of your
employees expressing their personal opinions, then discipline or fire
them.  And let prospective employees know in advance that you do so.
The smart ones may choose to seek work elsewhere.

Did he or you ever state that you did?  Does the University of Toledo
try to censor everyone publishing an opinion with which it disagrees, or
just Mr. Mishka?

Why not?  Is it factually inaccurate?

Good luck with that.  Your comments have almost certainly had the
opposite effect.

Raise your hand if you, like me, just entered "Jason Mishka Bluecat" or
similar into your favorite search engine and had never read or had long
forgotten the five-month-old original post.

This isn't by any chance a troll with a misplaced space, is it?  Or is
the real VP/CIO of the University of Toledo named Jun Kemail and the
University's policy is to post official statements via Gmail?
