Guess so! It's a really pretty place... :)

I still don't understand why new posters would be terrified to post again because someone snapped at them?

You're a little too sensitive if you're scared of users on an internet forum.

The OP wasn't blaming everyone. The OP was blaming those who will not be named, sock puppets and trolls included. This is fun.

Our GC sleuths may need to read this book - then they can analyze posts to figure out who is a lying troll - http://www.slate.com/id/2301859/ - although come to that, they already have mad troll-detecting skills.

Maybe it's because they felt they were being cyber-bullied.

But seriously, the first time I posted on this site, I didn't make friends instantly. I said something jokingly, in a way I always talk when I'm with someone face-to-face, but it was taken the wrong way. I explained myself and moved on. And now, 3 years later (wow, has it been that long?), I'm still here. Because I built a bridge and got over it. I suggest you do the same.

P.s. I think, if I remember correctly, the person who came at me first was MysticCat. Sorry! Hopefully you don't hate me now, because if you do, I'm going to create a new thread about how mean you are and start one hell of a trainwreck!

For this...

And this..

I refer you back to this...

And...i just spit Diet Coke on my computer! Thanks k_s!

Dr. Phil: I strongly suspect the posts that were referred to as McCarthy like by me were deleted before you read them. In Translation's thread someone said that they "had taken care of" Wary's daughter. They had reported her to the authorities at UT. Initially they said they had "insider" information (none written) about a girl who was going through recruitment. Who? What? No information provided, but the girl was identifiable, charged with "something" and left out to hang in the wind. I claim the first reference to Senator Joe. I own it.

I saw a few other posts, but missed others (where someone created a new account with the daughter's actual name) where people told the world what this girl was wearing on a day, and the obvious message was: Look out. We are watching you.

Did the mother make mistakes? Yes. Did she stop? No. Did adults, and I use the term loosely, go after someone's kid for shits/giggles/revenge? Yes. And to those adults I can truly say that your behavior is disgusting.

Most of the posters/members on this board have good information. The responders to this thread are among the best sources of information. And yes, there are people who ask the same questions ad infinitum. And just like when small children ask, "Why?" thirty times in a minute some of us get inpatient. (Oh heck, all parents get impatient with the whys.) But this was different and it was creepy and it was wrong. Whoever the creepers were they were THERE (how else would they know what the girl was wearing?) and they (or there was one.....I truly don't know) were out to bury this child. And yes, she is someone's child.

There have been times that someone has discussed something (not necessarily) Greek related and was responded to in a way that the OP didn't want to hear because they "knew" better. After a few tries of information by others which was ignored, the OP went on her merry way...no harm no foul. I know that most of the posters on this thread give great information, they have said the same things so many times they probably should just bring out the menu and said......go to column c.

But again, the person or person(s) who went after this girl because they didn't like what the mother had to say (this is an old fashioned concept and not in vogue anymore): Shame on you.

In a perfect world the creepers would come out a own what they did. She/he/they might even try to right things.

.......but then again I try to live in the world of unicorns, rainbows and ethics.

:o Like I said,

This is why I ignore DrPh'lounce whenever possible. She's "creepy"

I refer you back to this....

And I ask that a moderator please moderate MysticCat and ASTalumna06. They are being mean and it is hurtful.

Well, maybe if you had decided to give the other chapters a chance, we wouldn't have to yell at you! Now go deal with your rejectment elsewhere.

Again, only some people know the posts that you are talking about. More importantly, I think everyone who has posted agrees that what happened was jacked up.

But, that isn't what this thread is really about, is it? Is this thread about preaching to sock puppets and trolls that don't care what the majority of us think anyway? If so, that could've been covered in the Wary thread rather than creating a "be nice" thread.

Although the OP of that thread did eventually crank the sequoia tree out of her ass.

I always have to chuckle when people say how "hard" this board is for newbies. They obviously don't post on TV Without Pity, or a host of other sites.

No, she's saying that if a bunch of stressed out, sleep deprived, probably starving young women who are worrying about everything they do could say to each other at rush "hey, isn't that the PNM whose mom told on GC about how her daughter thought we were bitches?" and successfully pick the correct PNM out of 1000s of girls, then mom probably should have shut the fuck up with the identifying details.

No you should stop making analogies. You suck at them.

Why in the world would you think that? Watching you be all passive aggressive like this is hilarious.
Neither do I, it's just enjoyable.
I'm not going to go around saying: "Hell's fire, Mother Night and May The Darkness Be Merciful!*" when I could just say, you're being a fucking tool.
Oh, NOW you're using other people as a standard. So it's only when they agree with you that it matters/
Intent isn't magical, your words are what they are.


You know we do what we do.
As I've told you before, remove the gun from your ass before posting. You tried to pull that crap in one thread and you'll note that it didn't work for you there, either.

lol at your attempt at condescension. Go make fun of Virginia Tech students for being nervous at seeing what they thought was a gun again, asshole.

Shut the fuck up.

Careful enough for you?



Liar. Passive aggressive and a liar. God damn seriously, the felons I work with are better at this shit than you are.



So post in the damn thread where people will actually know WTF you're talking about rather than being a passive aggressive coward.



This is not how a message board works.
Their own business. We're not that internet scary.


I have never had one.
STOP REPLYING TO THIS THREAD
So go play there instead, there's a reason the level of traffic is so very different between the two forums, and people keep coming back. Funny that.

They're just so obvious.

And yet they're 18-20 year old ADULTS who can also build their own bridge and get over it. Or cry for mom when the playground isn't nice.

Again, why is this post not in the appropriate thread? Those of us who weren't in it don't know jack shit about it. Nothing is saying that people can't cross the line, simply that THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO TRY AND TALK ABOUT IT - Passive aggressive bullshit "BE NICE GUYZ" instead of "USERNAME IS A STALKING ASSHOLE, report them".

Fuck, have the gonads to say it to someone's metaphorical face.

Actually TVWOP's board policy against posters 'attacking' each other is rather strict. You can't really call someone out for their bullshit ideas there. Or at least not in the show thread I was in. No I don't have warnings there, why would you ask?

But then how would I earn my internet brownie points?!?!

* credit to Anne Bishop, oh my teen years of dark age-inappropriate fantasy

Something tells me that you aren't going to win Miss Congeniality.

Wouldn't want to be in the running.

I spend my work life trying to change people's thinking, when I see the same bullshit here, might as well just tell them to fuck off.

I have no idea what this means?

And just LOLZ at the rest of it. Glad I could create a place for you to entertain others...it sure has become entertaining to me to see some of you so worked up & that was not my intent.

Passive. Aggressive.

Are you an adult?

Quite frankly at this point I suggest that people who will not verify letters with someone on GC should be considered a perp. I'm over this bull.

Oh my...How could I forget aopirose? Shout out to my girl aopirose! She knows her stuff!!!

shirley, you asked whether or not the girl deserved whatever happened. I'm not saying she deserved it. I'm saying that instead of getting mad at whoever you think on GC went out of their way to ruin it for this girl--you should be pointing the finger at heli-mom who wants to divulge EVERY detail of her daughter's recruitment to the point that people could pick her out of a crowd or throughout recruitment/ rush. If anything, I blame the mother.

Also, if you are going to make blanket statements that "WE" scared her and others away or that "WE" were the ones to do this to her, have the decency to call people out and not make it seem like it is everyone of "US" who did it. I didn't do a thing. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop pointing fingers at us (which incorporates me until you decide to call out whoever it was).

Once again...it's called RESPONSIBILITY...People (Wary) needs to take RESPONSIBILITY that her actions may have caused an adverse effect for her daughter. It sucks but, it's reality.

You finally got the point.

So, seeing as this is a message board, I could just tell you I'm an XYZ from WTF U. and suddenly that makes me legit? I'm not a perp, I just have chosen not to tell you my affiliation. It's a message board, anyone here could tell you they are a member of a GLO and you pretty much have to take it at face value. There's no cyber handshake to slip someone.

I get it, I said the Mom had a lapse in judgement as well (about 5 times here)

And we've established several times that WE don't know who the person(s) is that did it to her, so how could I have better called them out? Please tell me, because I honestly don't know. There's a decent chance that the person who did it is a regular GC poster, so by starting a new thread I hoped to grab their attention.

I'm not pointing a finger at you if you're not involved. If you take everything you read on the internet personally that refers to "you", well then that's your own issue.

The horse is dead. Feel free to stop beating it at any time...

Says the person who raised the horse.

Yeah I'm starting to think you really aren't a member because I know how to verify someone's authenticity in my org. Funny how that works.





No you didn't, you made a thread to tell all of us to be nicer because we're SO MEAN TO THE NOOBS the ones who PM YOU and cry about the meanies. Old thread, been done.

Stop lying about what you did and why it's ~*~unbecoming~*~ and really pathetic.

Look, I didn't get the response I wanted so stop posting. Even though i got the response I said I knew I'd get, people took it wrong because I wasn't posting at them even though I was and could you guys just stop and pretend it never happened.

THANK GOD we finally have someone to tell us what to do. When to post, when not to post, how to post, how not to post, when the horse is dead . . .

Pot meet Kettle. You really don't appear to be that intelligent. I've gathered that. In one sentence you are telling me that I shouldn't take everything on the internet personally but, you complain and whine that new people feel uncomfortable writing on here and they get scared away. Do you realize you are a complete hypocrite? I don't recall you ONCE saying that the mother is responsible so, please stop playing like you agreed on that.

I'm thinking that YOU (I'm calling YOU out, now) are actually Wary in disguise. Maybe YOU are a sock puppet trying to stick up for Wary. It sure seems that way. You have so much vested interest in someone you claim to not really know. Listen Wary (because I am no longer going to refer to you as shirley), go away. You screwed up and now you want to blame the poor results of recruitment on us. I also doubt you went to college and joined a sorority or, like Drolefille pointed out, you would tell us where you went and what GLO you belong to. Otherwise, you are just looking even more like a sock puppet.

Wary (shirley) = fail.
Everyone else = pass.

God, yes. When you take into account all the rules, TWOP is North Korea compared with GC. (This very thread, for example, would violate "boards on boards.")

Yeah, and half the time you don't even know what you did wrong exactly and no one bothers to explain. Those people frighten me.

Bump because, because, because, because, beCAAAAUUUUUUUUSE...because of the wonderful things it does

Anyone else notice that Shirley quit posting once she got outed as Wary? Just me?

Shirley you can't be serious!!

(Sorry, I have been wanting to say that ever since this thread started.)

1. They weren't outed as the same. Als463 proposed that they may be.
2. Shirley has posted since this thread. See the earthquake thread.

:D to 33girl

Dr. Phil - I guess I meant in this thread. I really haven't looked for her anywhere else. I'm honestly not too concerned unless she starts making comparisons to Nazis, McCarthy, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, or the like all over again. (Because that's some good GC reading, right there - I'll bring the popcorn if someone will make room for me on the sofa.)

Any further wreckage to this train would no longer be organic, and therefore, worthless. I mean you could drop a A-Bomb on a trainwreck, but what's the point?

Threads die. I bumped it just because.

I think you thought shirley disappeared from GC because that username was "outed" as Wary. That username has not disappeared from GC.

Do you honestly get enjoyment from making Greeks seem so catty and clueless? Do you really have such a small worldview that you cannot possibly see value in someone whose opinion differs from your own?

And then some wonder where greeks get the reputation they sometimes have.

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...3KliyMKJYqSOUg

And why do some GCers quote without including the username?
