Why are you being so defensive? I was just trying to be helpful. :mad:

You seemed not to know which forum you were in by this post to TallGreekAlum, "Many of us, when we come onto GC in the morning (afternoon, evening, whatever), instead of going to specific forums, just hit the "New Posts" button, and it shows us all the threads that have been posted in since last visit, regardless of what forum they're in."

I was well aware of what forum that thread was in. I was explaining to tallgreekalum why a SigKap would be looking at threads in the ADPhi forum.

Oh, oops. I'm not a kappa sig. I was just making fun of that vinupe guy for trying to rile people up about who has the "right" to have a cane. After watching some threads go to crap, a non-greek might really think something like that. Besides official shields, emblems and the actual names of the organizations, no one really has an exclusive right to anything.

There is no "crashing" of public forums.

If you're talking about me, I do go and click the "new posts" button. I'm well aware that what I'm reading is in the ADPhi forum (:rolleyes: at blueangel) but there have been a few spammers that, if called out, become productive members. And sometimes you need to draw attention to it to get it deleted. But mostly it's just funny.

That particular thread was started by a spammer and then full of "new" GC members saying they want a sidekick. (they all have one post and it's in that thread). One big spam.

/And I don't feel constrained to posting only in certain forums. There are times that I will apologize for "crashing" (Like if the only people talking were XYZs), and there are times when everyone has "crashed" already, so no biggie.

Apparently, this OP isn't going to be one of those.:p

So whats the answer to the post??

I think there's been PLENTY of answers to the "post". And if not, do a search on the topic, as it's been done MANY times before, and the OP's intent was SPAM anyway.

The original? Seems to be that anyone has the "right" to a cane.

If that's true, why do people who are not members of the sorority's folder say, "Sorry for the crash...."

It's called being polite.

Actually, I had directed my post to Alpha Frog.

Do you say "excuse me" when you bump into someone? Why? Same reason. Do you NEED to say "excuse me" when it was an obvious accident? No, but it's polite.

And Drolefille's post was directed at tallgreekalum, not you.

She rolled her eyes at me in the post.
