TripAdvisor: Why I do not post anonymously

The Architects Registration Board (ARB) has erased (not just removed or deleted, but erased) a former Architect, Andrew Joseph Guy, aka (allegedly) Chris Ede, Person A, Karen Oman and Jane Baker, from the UK register of Architects for unprofessional conduct.

This was absolutely nothing to do with his Architectural practice, but all to do with his being an arrogant silly boy with grudges against eight different people or organisations.  Rather than being up-front about his disgruntlement, he decided to post false poor reviews under four different pseudonyms (allegedly). As he was the only common contact across these eight separate persons/organisations, it was relatively easy to make the link.

Clearly the ARB felt that this arrogant behaviour was dishonest, lacked integrity and undermined the reputation of the profession. Erasure was the only viable remedy.

Lessons learned:

  1. Don’t post false reviews,
  2. Don’t post anonymous reviews,
  3. Don’t post under pseudonyms (but if you do, don’t use the same psedonyms across multiple review sites or pages.)

Commencing my working career as an Architect, I shifted to developing Bulk Quotation Arrangements (latterly Framework Arrangements) for building components and services for public sector use. As Head of Technical I kept the technical procurement aspects of LHC's procurement activities up to date and ran the Technical Team. I was then appointed LHC's Head Consultant which encompassses all aspects of procurement practice and, basically, anything that needs doing. Now retired, I do nothing but live life and wait for someone to recognise my public speaking, voice-over and acting skills.
