Thanks for that :p

haha....you aren't BA. You're a different psycho. :p

sheetcake liked the yo yo part
 

Yeah, our MPhiE chapter has been around since the 60s. My chapter was just chartered in 1999 and they blame us for a decline in their membership because they used to have a monopoly on all the women. We're way awesomer anyways, they just need someone to blame. ;)


PS-Our MPhiE chapter is wayyyyy special...(if ya know what I mean). I know some great members, but overall...yeah. There's a rumor going around that last spring the only reason they had their ONE pledge was because they bribed her.

Eh, who knows.

But, you know, I don't know what you're doing now, but SAI has membership for accomplished musicians or people that contribute to the arts. It's a more selective AI program--and the chapters pick the women. Maybe we could still be sisters.....:rolleyes:

Who the fock is Dionysus?
:cool:

Hola Rana de la Alfa. ¿Usted me faltó?

Hi.

You are correct.... it's AlphaFrog.

This is funny... it's like a GC version of Name That Tune (Name That Sockpuppet).

I don't think bmburden is AlphaFrog. She (AF) knows the Spanish word for "Bat", and bmburden doesn't (or at least, if she does, she didn't use it, which doesn't make sense since she used Spanish for the other two words).

But, I think Dionysus is right. I don't think BA is bmburden.

And, I guess, this is just the reason many have left.

DeltaAlum stated it best and no one even took a second breath.:rolleyes:

Yes there are other sites that are nicer, kinder, and much more helpful and friendly!

Oh, you and some others would not be welcome.

No smilies her, I do not need them.

Have a good life if you can live with it!

Banned in 4 minutes flat from Happy Pony Rainbow Land, Baby!

skylark jumped over there...we'll see how long before she can't take the sunshine up her ass.


You're right, it's not me. I don't use "yup", I use "yep". And if I make a BatShit Sockpuppet (haven't had the urge lately), "TEH" will appear in it somewhere.

Bullies are a part of life -- and it's even more true because of the anonymity of an Internet message board.

where's Happy Rainbow Pony Land?

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

And, by the way NutBrn...if you'd like to come on down to Charlotte, I'd be happy to call you a bitch to your face, anonymity not necessary and all.

It's where I USED to live before you people made me realize what I REALLY am.

The agony.

oops, sorry there AF, were you trying to get the last word?

I will always have the last word. It doesn't have to be chronological, if the finality is there.

Isn't a site that is "nicer, kinder and much more helpful and friendly" where some people aren't welcome kind of an oxymoron?

I've perused that site, Tom. I know you're one of the ones who started it and all, but it's just too whitebread for me. Call me unfriendly, but I'd rather engage in real discussions where people say what they think, even if they go too far sometimes, than join a few handfuls of people over there and be happy all the time.

Besides, one of your co-founders over there threw way too much azycray around before she got banned (three times, was it?) here.

Impressive!

Not crazy about the word 'finality', but still...

This is like that South Park where they said "Biggie Smalls" 3 times and he showed up.

Yeah, MC's right - this doesn't make any sense at all.

Also, while the average IQ on GC is probably around 93 . . . I would guess it's around 85 on your site, Tommy. No offense, but every thread is the same, and makes me feel like I'm teaching second grade.

I'd rather be raped in prison, quite honestly.

Well I guess it easier being a -itch than a nice person!:rolleyes:


You are and will always be a special person no matter how low you try to get!:rolleyes:

The way you act is indicative of you!:p

So do not go where you are not going to act decent!

Oh AlphaToad you were banned from the crap you put on there! Well, why do you not say why you were banned.

What a sad state of a body!

So, what is wrong with that?

If you do not want to act decent do not come over.;)

I am not forcing anyone and some are not wanted being asses.

I did not bring this up as others did!


Thanks KS you are overly to cool? Or not. Kiss some good GC ass. Is that what you are doing?

i am really amused by this post. :D

BURN!!!

LMAO awesome.

Hi everyone. I thought if I left this thread alone for a couple days everyone would just move on and find something better to talk about. Guess not. Therefore, I might as well address what has been brought up: the fact that I joined another site. I like this other site, people are definitely helpful, nice, and generally just a good bunch of people. There are people like that on GC still, but I certainly cannot say that about everyone here. I like this new site a lot and will continue to post there since I know that they are people that act as well-behaved on the internet as they do in real life. If I myself ever need advice or want to start a new thread about something, I am sure I will feel more comfortable posting there than here.

I just wanted to clarify that, despite joining another greek site, I AM still on GC (and have continued to post, although not on this particular thread) and still plan to be on GC for as long as I am able to gain at least something positive from it. If you want to look back at some of my earlier posts in this thread, I even stated that I liked GC for the most part, although many of you seemed to lump me into a group of other newbies who "couldn't take it anymore" so to speak. I can take it just fine, I just question what "it" accomplishes.

There are many areas of GC that I think will remain worthwhile to read and post in and so will continue to do so (why shouldn't I?). Even when, as I'm sure will happen in the future, I do post in an area that is frequented by certain GCers that seem to fuel themselves on unnecessary drama and confrontation, this thread has certainly given me more insight into the character of these GCers. Thus, I doubt I will even pay attention to anything they say anymore (and I certainly doubt they will care, either).

I have received some great advice in this thread, the best advice being: look at the prior posts of the people who are being rude. It is their internet personality and has nothing to do with you (I seriously hope they don't act like that in real life!) Having a different personality on the internet is something somewhat foreign to me, but I can see why it happens because it is a lot easier to "post" than to own up to your behavior in real life. Certain people feel that because you are on the internet, this justifies rudeness, "snarkiness" (although I certainly think true snarkiness is quite more endearing, at least in real life), and "sarcasm" (which I think some people don't quite know the definition to here). I now know (and didn't when I started this thread) that it is possible to still enjoy this site despite the hostility, and no you do not need an ignore button in order to do it.

In real life, for instance, if someone out-of-the-blue tried to take a word out of context of what I was trying to say as a whole and use it to prove that I was "blatantly wrong," yelling at me (RL version of 42pt bold font), I would certainly confront that person as to why they felt it was necessary to address a wrongly chosen word with completely unnecessary hostility. Furthermore, if the problem seemed to be with more than one person, I would choose to address the group as a whole. As some people put it on this site, yes that is probably the equivalent of putting up a "kick me" sign, but I believe strongly in the value of general congeniality enough to be kicked around for it, I guess.

Anyway, I want to end my final post on this thread by stating that I probably was too sensitive, but honestly that is part of who I am, even in real life. However, I am not the only person in the world who is probably "too sensitive" and it does not make me, or anyone else that falls in this group, less worthy or whatever to be on this site. I'm sure there are many people that have come and gone from GC, and you all are probably eager to see them go, but I guess I just think that the more insight and diversity you have on an internet site, the better it will be as a whole. Thus, it probably isn't a good idea to try and scare people off for entertainment value.

Go on and continue to have fun with this disaster of a thread (yeah, I know I'm the one who started it). I honestly don't know what more you all could find to say here about this, but that is what I thought two days (and 5 pages) ago.

I'm sorry I thought I could possibly change someone's mind. Like one poster said, it is kind of sad that I earnestly started this forum to talk about internet decorum. I guess I am at heart an optimist, especially about human nature.

Oh Earpie...I'll gladly say why I was banned...

1. I registered as AlphaFrog
2. I called you out for Copy/Pasting the Who Does/Doesn't AI directly from GC without even changing the "GC" part.
3. I told you to take down the ASA forum.

should i add to that checklist "AF/Earp e-throwdown?"

Where's the hate, people?
 

I think I'm hurt - I haven't been on GC all that long, and the only person who was rude to me is one of the founders of Happy Pony Rainbow Land. What - I'm not good enough for the rest of you to insult???

I'll insult you SWTXBelle :D If you REALLY want me to and ask me REALLY nicely ;)

So why post here if we're a bunch of meanies?

I didn't know we had to accomplish anything.

:rolleyes:

So what have we learned from this important life lesson boys and girls? :p

I feel sufficiently chastized and I now know my place. But if I have no character would I really know my place if it bit me in the ass? pondering...

Pretty please with sugar on top?
 

Hey, Icelandelf - you've been here less time than me, so your insults are no good!!!!

SWTXBelle,

It's because you were too wise to say some of the dumb stuff most of us weren't too dumb to say.

The way I see it, you have two solid choices: wear never having been snark attacked by the cult like a badge of honor, or mention how you think AI is really the wave of the future and GC needs an active forum where we all help AIs shop for a sorority by being really nice and helpful to them when they ask inappropriate questions.

That will pretty much take care of it.

Your sorority has the ugliest colors...gosh. :rolleyes:

Well, Geeky Penguin, so does YOURS!!!

UGAAlum - My opinion about AI is already on record, so I'll guess I'll just have to be happy with being insulted by happy lambchop butt. :D

I think you've painted a bit of a rosey picture for yourself, AlphaFrog. Just to set the record straight:

-- you were banned within minutes of registering because it took you just that long to violate our terms of service. You came in loaded for bear, looking to stir up trouble. Our rules clearly spell out that the behavior you displayed was in violation of our TOS.

We enforce our rules because we don't tolerate bullying, nastiness, or any other behavior meant to hurt another person. If you find that "boring" or indicitive of a "low IQ," then by all means, please stay here where you can go mobbing, make snotty remarks to impress your friends, and create cruel parody threads to your heart's content. That's not what we're about.

To refresh your memory, this is the rule you violated in each of your posts--

"While debating and discussing is fine, we will not
tolerate rudeness, insulting posts or personal
attacks... "

Here is one of your very first posts :

This is a pathetic excuse for GreekChat.

Get a life.

--------------------------------------------------
That was just one of your handful of inflammatory posts you made. Had you come over and behaved yourself, you would have been welcomed as a member.

Our forum is for people who want to discuss Greek issues in a mature and civil manner. It's also for new people who have questions about recruitment and other Greek issues. You will never see anyone tell a new person to "use the search button" on our forum. We believe each person deserves respect.

I'm sorry that you seem to be so upset about our forum. We have left you alone (yet I see by the sock puppets here) that some of you have chosen not to leave us alone. Hence, my brief return to remind you of what you really did.

-- One of the three Founders of Happy Pony Rainbow Land

Just wondering . . .
 

If GC is so horrible, and Happy Pony Rainbow Land is all that and a bag of chips, why are so many HPRLers here all the time????

Please, by all means then, go to the "other sites that are nicer, kinder, and much more helpful and friendly!" Don't let the door hit you on the butt on the way out. Make Another Grand Exit and be done with it. Don't continue to tease us by saying how great it is elsewhere and sticking around here.

EITY? if so, props on the awesome spelling and non-smilie-use. if not, geez, you would come to ANOTHER board to bring the snark? cause if that's what you're doing...

what's that say on your nametag, pot? oh hi pot. i'm kettle, nice to meet you. you're black. so am i. awesome.

ETA: umm yeah, telling someone to use the search function is not being immature, uncivil or disrespectful. its common sense. it's like your kid asking what a word means. you COULD tell them what it means, or you could tell them to LOOK IT UP. it's whatever floats your boat really. but we like our kids here to learn, not to just be given the answer. we play for keeps around here.

where is Happy Rainbow Pony Land? I've looked at Frattysouth and that's not it. (Frattysouth was really an education for me: I was genuinely shocked at the racial attitudes. It's kind of like what I image a Klan rally would be like.)

Wouldn't the best thing in the world be if someone all the users of HRPL got dumped onto FrattySouth? I'd pay to see that.

Regardless of what has been done to others, I don't think posting something like that on a public forum is very wise.

Anyhow, I have no idea what has gone on between these two sects of Greek Chatters. To be perfectly honest, I am a member of both groups, simply because I thought there would be more Greek conversations, being in both groups. Really, I didn't know the depth or the severity of this situation.
