I have never seen a message board moderator be as ridiculous as you, while many of the members on this board may agree with what you are saying (I hope they don't) you have insulted me and, in all likelihood 25% of the members of this site.

Shouldn't a moderator be a little less judgemental. You talk about these prejudices, which is exactly what you have against me for being a member of a southern fraternity.

This should already tell you that this thread is not going to work.

The problem is that instead of "discussing" the differences, it just turns into attacking - which has really started in post #1. Your paragraph that you stole from your thread long ago is pretty inflammatory. If this thread continues past the first page, the terms "guido" and "redneck" will be used, and it will get ugly.

Unfortunately, you probably won't get a good discussion here.

The yanks get immediately offended and tell us how we can't read because we're inbred.
Then we point out their lack of tradition and mediocre chapters.
Next they get all upset about how down south, when giving bids, we only worry about Dad's social status, and if you drive and American-made truck or SUV. (which is not true)
...and it's all downhill from there.

For what? It's already been explained that the thread can go nowhere but downhill. Even your fellow "fratty" lover SECdomination has stated this fact. What you really want to explain is how your fratty/southern ways are much better because blah blah blah blah blah. The conversation has been held already. If you would like to engage in such convo, do so vicariously by reading the old thread that you referenced or striking up a PM conversation with SECdomination.

It sounds like this discussion has been done to death and besides the entertainment factor, I don't see where this is going to go.

I would guess that what 33girl has against you is that you tried to re-start a conversation that has been had already, and one that you acknowledged in your original post did not have a pleasant outcome. And to top it off you attempted to re-start the conversation under the guise of "a discussion" but what you really did was start a better than/worse than of fraternity life: North vs. South.
