Re: shooting messenger
 

Your first post in this thread:

It appears as though you're the one with the reading comprehension issue.

Which would be fine, but you editorialized in your post asserting that all greek parties were like this. I can comment on that all I want.

Post your own experiences then. I have no reason to respect some random blogger's "experiences", which may very well be fiction.

Also, don't tell me to respect other's experiences here when you haven't respected those who have responded to the post.

Notice not a single person has said anything to back up your opinion.

I'm calling troll on this one

ETA: man, that blogger sure gets around a lot for being "terminally ill".

Usage of the word netiquette is forbidden on Greek Chat.

Mainly because it's a really really stupid word.

Failure to follow this guideline can result in banning or beheading.

Have a nice day.

kddani you are welcome to continue with your attacks e.g. troll and obviously did not read the linked thread on logic. Also, your first post said you didn't "read that rambling mess". But you felt able to say it was untrue!
33girl: Uhmmm a forward slash generally means "OR" not "AND". Again the headline style will not suggest to reasonable folks that it *actually* is an absolute. You've already said you have heard of no run-by-a-fraternity or sorority parties like that - fine. We heard.

We use English on this board. Please learn to use commas. Thanks!

twostep. you are gonna lose this argument. Pack up and go home please.

You said:

how is this not an absolute statement? It's your editorialization.

and i went back and read the pertinent part of the blog when you delineated which part is was.

Word. And I go to one of the biggest party schools in the country.

I guess you'd have to be doing coke to think that that's a good song for a fraternity party, lol

PhiPsiRuss: I shall take greater care with comma splices and semicolons in future. Thank you.

Little E: Generally speaking, discussions are not competitive. I am not here to score points or cause problems, contrary to what you might think. Perhaps I aired or started an unpopular topic but that does not mean I am trying to achieve a sinister objective! Take care and have a good day.

Then participate in the discussion. Your assertions have been refuted by many posters and supported by none. Unless you give something else to help your position, the discussion is pretty much dead and will just take random detours to entertain ourselves on a Friday :)

Dani, I think it's Mayor Murphy. This sounds like his brain level :p

ETA:

Or considering the use of the royal "we", maybe it's the decayed body of Victoria I.

And a mouth writing checks their butt can't cash :)

And trying to convince people they know about something they know nothing about.

The discussion needn't be dead :/. The bottom line is that something controversial, or even unpleasant to think about shouldn't be dismissed based purely upon its content.

Trolling is something quite different; contrary to your assertion I do not post on this board to antagonise others. I frequently see newer members and those with fewer posts appear to be considered 'guilty until proven innocent' here. I find that unfortunate, not least because it might perpetuate negative images often attributed to greek life. There have been many Greek Life forum threads, which have had senior members reply with "*gets popcorn*" and similar. I think *some* of those posters may have been around to cause trouble but assuming anyone posting anything less than innocuous is a "troll" isn't logical or advisable.

I hope the debate - such as it is - can continue. You have shared your view that whilst a party like this could theoretically happen you haven't experienced or come across any. I suggested they are feasible and may well not be 'out of the ordinary'. Let's hear the opinions of members other than you, 33girl and myself? Have a good day and look after yourself.
