Worth resurrection at least once a year.

That's funny and sad at the same time... maybe she would benefit from that therapy where you have to face your fears - like first in virtual reality and then in real life. Irrational fears are funny things...

Of course she is -- Elle est un drole fille.

Let's see how long it takes you to get banned for what, the sixth time?

Glad you like it. I prefer real conversation, even when it ain't pretty, to feeling like I'm trapped in Care-a-lot, but to each his own.

But just so you don't have any delusions of higher ground, you ought to know that BA helped start it after she got banned here -- multiple times, under every new username she tried. You think people have been snarky to you? It's been nothing compared to the way she behaved -- she's the "really crazy" Zeta who "topped the crop" that Drolefille was referring to here.

You know, last week, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, figuring you were a newbie who didn't have the feel of the place yet and who was interpreting the fairly common back-and-forth here as personal attacks. With this thread, any benefit of the doubt has been pretty much blown.

Mystic, you say that as if your opinion means much to me. :rolleyes: If GF is so bad, then why are so many GCers coming over, and worse yet, why are there so many lurkers...? That doesn't make much sense to me. Mystic, I think you're an intelligent person and most of the time I think your posts make a lot of sense. This one was no different, in that I am a newbie and I am getting "the lay of the land." I've discovered that on GC there are several people who get their entertainment by putting others down (low self-esteem, boredom, no life, whatever the reason) and that once in a while good converstaion does exist. I have also discovered that Greek Friends is a different type of Greek issues forum that serves a different pupose, which is why I chose to join it in addition to GC. I will not be bullied (mostly because I think it's all too funny now) so I'm not going to take my ball and go home. I realize that GC can never be what GF is and that's ok - that's why there are two now :D

How are so many people finding GF? I've googled everything that I can think of and the only greek friends I can find is what appears to be a dating service. It isn't that I really want to visit, although it would be nice to see what all the fuss is about; I just don't see how it can be high-traffic since it seems impossible to find.

I'll PM you Sydney

I tried to reply to your PM, SthrnZeta, but your box is full. So, I'll just post my response here.

Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't be approved. Besides, how do you expect to actually make friends if your site is a secret? Sounds too shady for me.

It's not secret, obviously! Just that we don't let snarkers in for a reason - snark-free zone! Just like people can have people banned from GC, not everyone is welcome at GF. Pretty simple. Again, why two groups exist in the first place. And trust me, the site is growing everyday - obviously there was a need :D

See this is where you've blown the benefit of the doubt with me. I don't think "people who get their entertainment by putting others down" is what's going on here -- it's not what was going on in the threads involving you. I do wonder, though, if you don't get your entertainment from creating drama. That's how it starting to look. I guess saying that makes me snarky, but whatever.

As for HRPL, yeah it's fine for there to be 2 sites -- whatever makes people happy. I'm all for the free market. I've been there from time to time, but so far I've had no desire to sign up. What I've seen has been way too quiet and white bread for my taste. But hey, lots of people like white bread, or they wouldn't keep making it.

I don't create drama, drama finds me. You can ask any of my IRL friends. I think your point about the white bread was a good one, only in that many people like it and that's why they keep making it. But I wouldn't classify HPRL as white bread if by that you mean, boring or bland. There are some great discussions going on there right now in fact, that don't exist anywhere on GC. And I disagree with you on two points: I didn't think your comment was snarky. Telling me "Bitch, be quiet" is snarky. Second, there are indeed many people putting others down all over GC and if you don't see it, than you're oblivious to what's really going on here. Unfortunately, the admin doesn't care because it creates more posts and more use of the site. But it also will ultimately homogenize GC - it will only be snarkers, as the people that lose their taste for GC will find their way to Greek Friends.

Yeah, honeychile and I are so alike, I sometimes forget where she begins and I end.

You said it, not me :p

Now that's irony.

Apparently you don't have GC as sussed out as you think, or you'd realize how asinine this comment is.

Asanine for asanine....

Totally not trying to speak for imsohappythatiama, but I'm pretty sure if she thought she needed therapy, she would have gotten it. And maybe she has - not everyone has to post the most intimate details of their personal lives on an internet message board.

Because it's entertaining to make fun of the stupid.

And thank heaven for that!

Riiiight. You just go along, and WHAM! Drama comes out of nowhere and bitch slaps you in the face. Sure it does. IME, people who say something like that are seriously delusional and misguided about their personal actions.

IMO, entertainment shouldn't come at the expense of others, and I'm pretty sure most orgs would not condone some of that sort of activity that goes on on GC. Who here can say they genuinely live by their org's motto on GC? Not many, that's for usre... As for my comment about drama - you don't know me IRL so you really have no room for comment there. I have made some innocent comments that people took too seriously and then the whole thread got blown way out of proprortion, as often happens on GC - that is what I mean by drama finding me (online anyway).

You actually don't know who on GC knows you in real life and just won't say so.

Good point - but I would hope anyone I knew IRL on here would say so. My friends, at least, are people of integrity. I notice you're from DC - do YOU know me? ;) I mean, seriously, was that supposed to be a threat?

You know, one thing I learned the hard way when I was a GC newbie was never to accuse a member of another org of not living by their mottos, creeds or whatever. I can call my own brothers to account for that (privately, of course) but not someone who is a member of a different org. It's a lesson I learned and a rule I stick by.

But I'm about to break the rule, or at least to offer you a mirror.

I have a great deal of respect for ZTA, for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, much of what you've posted -- including sweeping generalizations that "not many" people can say "they genuinely live by their org's mottos on GC" -- does not seem to match the very admirable motto you've placed in your sig.

ok, I looked at your old posts, and I'm going to spell this out for you because you don't seem to get it.

You got upset that your thread about pledges wearing letters got "heated" and that people were saying you were wrong, and that it was just a tradition that people should accept.

Then you turn around and label things that you aren't familiar with (like eating clubs) as "weird" and when it's pointed out that maybe isn't the nicest word to use, you got all "it's my opinion, quit attacking me!"

You want others to accept your org/chapter's quirks or policies, but you come across as very unaccepting when it comes to other groups' similar quirks or policies.

Hence the antipathy toward you. You can't have it both ways.

No I don't know you IRL, and I think that's just fine by me.

Your comments may have started out innocent, but you're like a freaking dog with a nasty ol' rope toy. You Won't Let Go. Post after post ad nauseum of the same crap. "Whine whine, everybody's so mean."

GC has been around 8 years and many posters have zero tolerance for excessive stupid. A lot of people *tried* to be helpful when you first started posting, but instead of learning from their helpfulness, you kept making asinine comments and then crying "Meanie" when you get called out on the stupid. You're not the first to do so, and you won't be the last, but that's exactly why people have so little tolerance for it.

Oh! Oh! Me Me!

And, like I've pointed out several times, NO ONE HAS REALLY SNARKED YOU PERSONALLY. You want a snarkfest? Check out some of the action that TippieChick and I have had on occasion. And you know what? I still like her.

It is my opinion that I am seeking the noblest by standing up to people that are wrong. I have not used profanity in doing it and I have tried not to put people down who ask innocent questions and have given people the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. Perhaps what I said was a generaliztion so I will rephrase: I have encountered a lot of people on here that I don't think are living up to their org's ideals as they are expected to do. Thankfully, I have also encountered some really genuine and nice people on here which is what keeps me on GC. I appreciate the lesson though, seriously.

Unless you're in that org, that's not your business. If I have a sister here that I don't think is living up to ASA ideals, I'll deal with it myself, and I would expect everyone else to do the same. If you're going to call someone out who's not a ZTA, call them out personally, not because of their org.

Also, I'm still waiting for you to point out where exactly you were actually SNARKED. Corrected, yes, debated with, yes, told to STFU, yes...but none of this is actual snark.

I will agree to disagree with you about some GCers attacking me personally. I'm not one for searching old threads to check out the drama - so I'll take your word for it. No one here has to like me, just as I don't have to like everyone I encounter. All I've asked from the beginning is that people treat each other with respect and dignity - and I don't think I'm asking for much. It's sad that I have found it hard to find among the Greeks on GC.

I will say that I genuinely appreciate some of the comments made today and I have taken some of what people have said to head (not to heart, I don't take it personally anymore). I will simply say, good game and bow out. On to bigger and better conversations on GC! :)

10 to 1 you'll be back within the day.:rolleyes:

*FLOUNCE*

That is *your* opinion. And, unless you have experienced the entire ritual of all the NPC, NIC, NPHC and other Fraternal organizations, you can't back a comment like that.

I completely forgot what this thread was about:D

Translation? Que?
 

Oooh you're witty. It bothers me when people are careless, not intentionally stupid. Thinking it's a slam of some sort is inherently sad. You've officially hit the 2nd grade level of attempting to be mean: Rhyming someone's name.
Only when it's glaring. I misspell too, but I at least try to check my work.

So when you do it, it's ok. But when I (or "others") do it it's SNARKY *evil face*


Lol, I have no idea what you've posted over there, if you have. My big girl conversations don't involved telling everyone how Wonderful and AWESOME their posts were, nor encouraging AI for everyone interested. I also avoid consorting with people who publish other people's private IRL info on message boards. Oh wait, it's probably not wrong because your new buddies did it.

Any way, you may call me pathetic, but you keep coming back, and PMing me I might add. One might think you were starting to like this place.

LMAO at all the other posts, I like how HRPL is somehow "hers" now. And how does one brush aside MysticCat :( Luckily my sorority's motto isn't "Be excessively nice to people who whine a lot" :p

^^^ Why aren't there any 1s on that cake? What do you have against 1s? I smell a conspiracy. A chocolate-covered oneless conspiracy.

The ones and sixes had another engagement...

SthrnZeta, when your new hero stalks you enough to make you go to the police maybe you'll have a different opinion of HPRL. I've seen those discussions-they're not discussions or debates, it's posters saying the same stupid thing over and over. But you would rather have people just agree with you rather than debate, which is cool. But in the words of the most infamous batshit poster ever: Let. It. Go.

mmmm.... cake.....

best thing about this thread, other than the scary clowns, of course! ;)

I'd just like to throw my two cents in here...

You are upset because someone wrote OMGWTFBBQ in a post to you. THAT is said so many times to so many people on here. You are not special. You asked what the BBQ part was and they told you. You are now acting like you are specially entitled to lashing out at people because someone said OMGWTFBBQ. That phrase is used on here about as much as LOLLERS and batshit. Again, you are not special.

You have about as much right as I do telling people that they are not living up to their sorority's ideals. HOWEVER, I do not have my letters splashed all over the place. I don't make sure that my affiliation is shouted to everyone by my username. Perhaps a bit more discretion would be called for here. After all, your org's name is in your username and your sig is quite large. Zeta is attached to your every post through your own doing.

You have been on here for years. You ARE NOT NEW. Stop acting like you know nothing about this site. Anyone can tell you that things have definitely been snarkier around here.

Go to HPRL. But, don't let Tom and BBS fool you into thinking that they are saints. One was removed from being a moderator and the other has been banned about twenty times. One meddled into international sorority business trying to hurt a GreekChat member and the other stalked multiple people on this site on and offline to the point that police were contacted. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE RUNNING GF.

HPRL is not all: "Let's be nice." It is simply: "You are allowed to post here because you will not disagree with me. And, if you do, I will just kick you out."

GC is: "You have every right to agree or disagree. If you go WAY too far, you will be banned."

Stop acting like a damn victim. You have no idea what being stalked is like.

Tippiechick: You don't like the facts to get in the way of a good story, do you? Sorry, but revisionist history isn't going to go without the truth being said. Regarding representing your sorority.. remember accusing your own headquarters of smoking dope? This was right in your profile for all to see: __________________________________________________ ____ Tippiechick Registered User Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Wondering what IO was smoking when they intiatiated such a psycho fucktard.

That's not an accusation.... IOs can make mistakes, too. CLEARLY.

Is it possible to get an IP addy banned instead of just the user? Otherwise, I don't think she's ever going to be completely gone.
