I believe you understand my question perfectly. What I don't think you understand is that I was speaking about this particular thread. And I believe you are the moderator of this forum- making it your call. You know a lot about what goes on on GC... Do you honestly think that this thread was NOT started as a point of attack on one certain poster? Because everyone else seems to have gotten that impression.

See my post just above yours.

What I really think about this thread is that it is a not so subtle dig at Hoosier, and in another case at the way I've handled a couple of other threads in this forum that some other people take issue with.

To repeat, I do think the original question is legitimate and a topic worth discussing. Like many other threads (probably all of them, in fact) this one has gone way off track.

Much farther and it will be gone.

Hmm, these seem to fit together pretty well. This whole thread is BS and you know it. It is not meant for rational discussion, it is meant to stir up trouble. And yet you let it go on.

First, I think the original intent was to make the posters point, but not necessarily to stir up trouble.

Second, don't assume that you know what I think about anything.

I will decide what gets deleted and if and when the thread itself is closed, moved or deleted.

Since all sides of the question think I'm doing a bad job, I must be being something right.

It's what they pay me so much to do here at GC.

Enough, Rudey. I'm not amused. I'm considering your PM, but your not helping your cause. And there's a pretty good case for harassment which is definitely against the TOS.

Re: People who seek out hazers on the internet
 

I have no views on the individuals who browse the internet searching for sings of hazing. I will not pass judgement on a person whom I have never met and whom I do not know. I see people who try to eliminate hazing as doing a worthwhile cause. Just by the mere fact that I joined a fraternity I am generalized into the hazing stereotype. It is necessary to not only end this stereotype, but to punish teams and organizations who attempt to haze.
What happened in the Iraq prison abuse scandal? Weren't those accusations based on photographs?
Yes. Do you think doctors that perform abortions should have enjoy anonymity as well?
Hazing is a germane topic of discussion among greeks.

Let's not use that word unless we want to start using it properly.

The people of GC are barely able to make the case for why the Earth is not flat, let alone to justify their actions and harassment of other users like Hoosier.

The end. John said it's a violation of the TOS and since he's the administrator who, imho, has always remained neutral, it's his decision. PM him if you don't agree so that we don't have to have 10 more threads on this subject.

I do agree with the public figure part. If you want to quote his name in a discussion of an article that he wrote, fine. So far, I haven't seen that. His name has only been used to harrass him.

I don't like what he stands for either but I believe every single person on GC has a right to privacy.

I dont really know why the starter of this thread even started it?

It seems that there was another post started on another thread that sounds a whole lot like this one!

Build up enough animosity toward a GC member and run them off.

So, hoosier has His Hot Button and it is Hazing as We all should when it concerns Greeks or sports and High Schools.

This will transmit to other parts of life.

Enough clawing of hoosiers back!

That thread got deleted. Having hazing as a hot button is fine. Being on a personal crusade stalking webshots is not fine.

It gets deleted when that happens.

Do we know what he does for a living? Generally, I mean.

Because I do think he admitted to spending a few hours scouring Webshots, and I'm wondering how he has the time for that. *I* have a lot of time on my hands sometimes at work, but not nearly enough to find hazing pictures. That takes dedication... and a LOT of looking at pictures.

I think most of GC is going to call the WAAAAMBULANCE now that Crappy.net is gone. I know I am crying big ole' crocodile tears. ---- is not hated here except for people who don't like to have their opinions questioned. Those are the minority.

P.S. The people who are hated here are the crappy.net people.

i agree with alot of posters who said pictures can be taken out of context, but what about ones that have captions describing what si going on (yeah, it does sound kind of like a death sentence, but i have seen it happen). webshots and facebook are becomign hot topics in the student affairs field, more with alcohol issues than hazing, but i personally think people should post anything they wouldn't want their parents or the police to see, because both can get access to things posted online.

What is tubgirl?
