You've not had the pleasure of getting to know RushLeader08? She is a pleasure indeed. Which is why her posting the picture of the troll is so ironic.

she must have said some really bad stuff. i don't see why a screen name would ever be banned from a message board, unless like some sensitive stuff comes out.

Nothing bad or offensive, just blatantly stupid.

and aren't people entitled to be stupid? or what people think are stupid?

She said she was surprised, not that she thought the poster should be banned specifically. If the poster is who she pretends to be she's a perp anyway.

(At least I think so, I missed her the first time around)

One of my pledge brothers came out after graduation. It's changed absolutely nothing - except perhaps that's he probably more fun to be around now simply because he's happier in general. One of my little brother's roommates (from freshman year) came out to his pledge class during Initiation week, and if anything, they're pledge class became more closely-knit because of it while they hid it from the upper classmen. Now he's openly gay, and very few people have a problem with it.

It should be noted that neither of these guys acts stereotypically gay (even though it really wasn't a surprise when my pledge brother came out - he was one of those guys that could have gone either way and no one would have batted an eye). They're not effeminate, they don't have a lisp, and while they may dress slightly better than everyone else, they're still in line with the mainstream fashion as you'd find it in Nebraska.

Would my chapter rush a stereotypical gay guy? With one openly gay brother in the active chapter - probably more likely than it was before, but I have to agree that how a person "fits in" matters as someone said before, and I don't see many stereotypical gay guys fitting in well enough to get a bid. But if they did, I don't think it would be an issue.

Finally to say that homosexuals can't have the same interests and goals as heterosexuals is RIDICULOUSLY ignorant.

That's a good post. Pretty much sums up how I feel about my chapter. I don't know if we've ever had a gay brother, but i wouldn't be opposed to it. Unless he was ultra-closteted, like that one guy (non frat). He was all uptight and creepy untill he came out.

As long as you've been around here, you've missed some of the blatantly offensive stuff that has been posted and resulted in a name being banned? Stupid isn't a reason to be banned - but insulting others, being offensive and just generally trolling are, imho, sufficient reason.

Which is why she probably hasn't been banned.

I go to a school with a great Greek community and there are gay guys in all of the biggest fraternities and it is never a big deal. They are not flamboyant feminine type but if they were a frat wouldnt be their thing anyway. I totally agree with whoever said just because they are gay doesnt mean they dont have the same interests as you or same beliefs. A lot of gays come from the same religious backgrounds that you do even though they condemn them, it doesnt mean their not religious. Why even be in college in your not open to meeting new people from all types of lifestyles and learning from them. You dont have to be best friends with everyone but why spend any of your time on this Earth making someone else's life miserable? I dont get that.

no, IMO unless you're posting personal info, just calling someone stupid or calling names isn't reason to ban someone. i'm sure people think i'm stupid, ignorant, ect. and have said such on here, but i don't see a point in banning them.
