Amen!! ETA: I just read where a newbie was whining about treating someone poorly....it was truly funny.

BTW...when someone says "STAY IN YOUR LANE" they mean it!

Cardinal Rule: You must learn how to interpret EARPisms! hahahaha:D

IFC refers to a local organization of men's fraternities. Do you mean NIC, which refers to a larger umbrella group? Even so, NIC doesn't cover all of the (inter)national fraternities.

Seriously, some of us enjoy being sarcastic. We do it to newbies, we do it to our own sisters/brothers, we do it to old drunks who don't mind their own business. It's just how we are, and one (or two or three) newbies on a quest to change the temperament of GC will not succeed.

Indeed.

The last sentence reads like an epic journey.

I guess we should start a thread for the crybaby newbies (so they can beat up on us) called:

Newbies and the Illiad or Newbies: The Odyssey! hehehehe

The newbies are the least of the crybabies and idiots on this board.

I forgot the exact name, but was it something to do with Multicultural? :confused:

If you don't like someone on GC - just put them on ignore. And you don't need to announce that you're putting them on ignore, they aren't going to cry, and you're probably achieving the opposite of your desired effect by letting them know that they got to you.

Multicultural Greek Council

A rule of thumb that I live by is if someone "says" something that ticks me off I'll try reading the rest of their posts. It gives me a feel for their posting style. That way I know if they're a jackass :mad: or just snarky :p!

Ahem, translation and interpretation services provided here at low cost to YOU the GC member.

No more slogging through Earpish posts attempting to glean some meaning out of them!

No more staring at smileys until your eyes fall out!

No more wishing that you could physically bitch slap old men through the monitor!

Just send me a PM or post a note in the thread and I'll jump in and take care of the interpretation for you!

How much will this cost, you ask?

Well such a service might normally cost you two easy payments of 19.95 plus shipping and handling

But, for the next millenium, I'm offering you this incredible deal
not for two easy payments of 19.95 plus shipping and handling,
not for ONE easy payment of 19.95 plus shipping and handling,
not even for one easy payment of .99 plus shipping and handling .
No, for the next ONE THOUSAND years you get this service absolutely, and postively FREE!

Offer valid until death of poster, in case of zombie reanimation, offer shall be good again if zombie!poster is capable of using a computer. In case of religious reanimation, offer is good if holy!poster does not find mocking sinful. Offer may be transferable onto other incomprehensible posts. Just ask.

^^^^You are tooo much!!:D:D:p:p

I'm trying to think of some more GC need to know info!
