Halloween
 

I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY OF YOU WERE CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN AND HAVE YOU STUDIED IN DEPTH WHAT THAT HOLIDAY IS REALLY CELEBRATING AND SYMBOLIZING?

DID YOU KNOW HALLOWEEN IS THE FIRST DAY OF A WICKENS YEAR?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SYMBOLS OF HALLOWEEN ARE AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT?

EVEN THE COLORS HAVE A MEANING.

BLACK AND ORANGE-BONFIRE COLORS AND REPRESENTATION OF THE HUMAN SACRIFICES FOR THE WORSHIP OF EVIL SPIRITS.

TRICK OR TREAT-PREPARATION OF GOODS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PREPARING THERE HOMES FOR THE SPIRITS, IF NOT TREATED THE HOME SHOULD BE CURSED.

BLACK CAT-THE WITCH GODDESS, DIANA, SHE BECOMES A BLACK CAT WHEN SHE GOES TO HAVE SEX WITH THE DEVIL.

THE BROOM STICK-KIND OF SYMBOLIZES THE MALE PENIS AND IS RIDEN TO BRING UP THE DEAD, ALL DEAD THINGS MUST RISE. AND TO GET THE LIMP MALE PENIS TO RISE IT IS RIDEN. (WITCHES USE NATURE TO DO THERE WORKS).

DID YOU KNOW REBELLION IS THE ROOT OF ALL WITCHCRAFT?

THIS IS NOT TO DOWN THE WICKEN BELIEFS BUT TO LET THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTING SUCH KNOW WHAT IT TRULY MEANS.

THAT BLOOD IS OFF MY HANDS USE THE INTERNET TO DO YOUR RESEARCH KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY ARE CELEBRATING.
THERE ARE FAR MORE THINGS I COULD TELL BUT THOSE WERE JUST A FEW SO THAT YOU COULD KNOW.

Hhhhmmmm... we discussed this same thing, was it last year around Halloween?:confused: I don't remember. Anyway, I'll be handing out candy.

What is it with these multiple posts?

To quote another GCer: "Search. It does a body good."

I don't know who the GCer is that first wrote it, but I love it!;)

Thanks, Soror Moderator!

Seriously, however, we all go to each other's forums here in NPHC land. There is no need to put multiple posts in the forums.

Blowing You a Kiss
 

Seriously, posting the same thread 9 times is pointless.

Re: Halloween
 

No offense, & I know wasn't meant to be funny... But dang I am LMAO. :D

Blood? :eek: lmao :D

Well I have gotten my FULL serving of sensationalism for the day... Thanks for the Halloween heads up! :cool:

This should be a GC COMMANDMENT:

THOU SHALT NOT POST THE SAME QUESTION IN MULTIPLE FORUMS.

ALL IN FAVOR
 

AYE!!

Re: ALL IN FAVOR
 

AYE!!!
And can the multiple posters get a cyber smackdown from all moderators?
I'm feeling a bit angry today. Woke up with an allergy attack at 3 a.m. and still haven't finished this Wurmy story. :eek: :mad:

Re: Re: ALL IN FAVOR
 

OUCH!!!!!!:eek:

*SIGH*

I don't know why some people wish to front.

You all know good and well that many AA GCers will only respond to threads posted in their orgs forum, or the forum of another org that meets their approval.

If people didn't have these f'ed up attitudes, there wouldn't be any multiple postings.

AGREE
 

I'M HAPPY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THE FACT SOME PEOPLE ONLY VISIT THE SITES OF THERE INTEREST.

Err, here's one AA GCer and Greek who doesn't have the attitude that you describe above.:p

Yes CodeBlue,

I caught on to this mess a long time ago.

Steeltrap,

People like you are in the minority. ;)

All,

We are all adults. I'm sure that the rest of you are on my level as far as comprehension is concerned. If for some reason you are not able to grasp what an f'ed up attitude is, feel free to PM me. I will gladly break it down for you.

I can't even believe this isn't locked...
 

But I'm locking it. Regardless of if people read what's in other forums or not. Too bad. If that's an f'ed up attitude, so be it. :rolleyes: The fact of the matter is, we (moderators of ALL forums, AA and otherwise) prefer if every forum is not SPAMMED with the SAME thread.

And honestly, I don't see where the fronting comes into play. If you want A LOT of responses, then post it in a forum that will get a lot of views, not in each and every one.

This one shoulda been locked from the beginning.

(Reds6, this is an example of that last word thing, lol) ;)

Never mind....
 

I decided to leave it open. Yall can discuss amongst yourselves, here, in the bruhs forum, on DST Blvd, and wherever else the topic may appear.

I just have a question, MidwestDiva... Why is it an f'ed up attitude to visit and post in forums of your choice? I came to GreekChat to meet SORORS. So if I don't visit other forums (not that I don't), why is that an f'ed up attitude? OR did I read you wrong?

Choosing to converse with one's sorors ONLY is not an example of having an f'edup attitude. I will give you an EXAMPLE of someone with an f'ed up attitude.

An AKA who will post in this forum, and the forums of other pre-1913 orgs (including DST), but not the post-1913 orgs. You ask, why is this f'ed up? It lends the appearance that she thinks she's too "elite" or too "whatever" to converse with them. And that is some f'ed up shiznit. I asked why this was taking place once in the Greek Life forum. The AKAs didn't respond and the Deltas acted like they didn't know what I was talking about.

Let's keep it real people. Prejudice between pre and post 1913 orgs is alive and well on GC.

Well for those of you who CAN READ, it says IN ENGLISH on DST BLVD. that multiple threads will be deleted.

Call it an "f'ed up attitude" if you want but it makes NO SENSE whatsoever to have the same thread posted in 9 forums. If I really want to talk about it, I will go to that forum.

For the most part, the frequent flyers on GC, BLACK or not, will post in most if not all of the D9 forums.

If you do not like how we do things. . .

So if I have an "f'ed up attitude" according to you (whoever YOU are) then so be it.

DISAGREE
 

Who are you to say that if an AKA does not post on DST, ZPhiB or SGRho that she is elitist??? Maybe this AKA is not a "talker".

One of the main reason that I post all over this camp is because I am a talker -- plain and simple.

I cannot speak for the AKAs or anyone else but me but I think your hypothesis is false.

I CAN READ and am aware that GC moderators do not appreciate multiple threads. To date, I have never posted a multiple thread. I didn't say that the moderators should allow multiple threads to occur. Pay attention. I am saying there is a REASON that multiple threads occur. That reason has been addressed in my previous post.

CrimsonTide4,

You don't have to agree with my hypothesis. The example I gave is just that. An example. This behavior is not limited to the AKAs. I could just as easily use a Delta in the example. The same thing goes for frats. Undoubtedly there is a reason for it. It's too consistent to be coincidental. If you have a reasonable explanation, I'd love to read it.

NO ONE said that you post multiple threads. You chose to address something that did not concern you.

Fact: What people choose to respond to and where is their business.

I do not care who talks in DST or AKA or SGRho or ZPhiB but you should respect the rules of the forum. People have "preferences" -- let them. I don't give a dang where they post, read or whatever.

FACT: You can go on GC and see where users are. There are AKAs who observe the threads in DST, ZPhiB, or SGRho and vice versa. If they feel so moved to participate in the convo so be it. If not, NO LOVE LOST.

FACT: People talk to the people they are comfortable with/have a rapport with. If the AKAs are more comfortable talking to other AKAs that is their right. It does not make them bad or "elitist". It makes them HUMAN.

I think you were the one with an "f'ed up attitude" to come here baashing how and where people choose to talk. This is the INTERNET, we are FACELESS for the most part.

Bottom line: You want to come here and respond, do so. If not, okay but don't knock what others choose to do.

To the AKAs, I did not mean any disrespect or trying to moderate in your forum. I appreciate the bonds and friendships that I have formed here in your section of GC just as I do the bonds and friendships in my own backyard on the BLVD.

You seem to be taking my comments personally. I wonder why.......

You are certainly entitled to have an opinion about me. All is fair on GC. :p

I already said that there is nothing wrong with wanting to converse amongst members of your own organization, but I guess you missed that. The bottom line is, if the AA people on GC were truly interested in Greek Unity, and felt comfortable conversing with all the other AAs on the board (regardless of affiliation), there would not be any multiple thread posting. There would be no reason for it.

Nothing that is said or done on GC is any of my business, but I choose to comment on it anyway. If people only commented on things that were "their business" there wouldn't be much posting going on.

Don't hate on me, I'm just calling it like I see it.

Moving along :).............

If you want to name names, please do. I guess I'm a darn proud "elitist"! :D :rolleyes:

Um.....
 

Wrong answer Sherlock. People post multiple threads because they act first and then think. They say "oh the moderator said this already existed"... "so let me post it somewhere else". They get all riled up for nothing, when all they have to do is SEARCH FOR THE SAME TOPIC THAT WAS POSTED EARLIER. It's not rocket science.

If a thread is interesting and people have something to add to it THEY WILL DO SO-NO MATTER WHERE IT IS.

It's clear to see that YOU may be the one doing the fronting. Coming up in THIS particular forum and stating your theory. Do YOU have some underlying issues, dislikes, or a f*ed up attitude that YOU need to resolve? If so RELAX, RELATE AND RELEASE, but not in this forum cause we don't want the drama.

So to restate cause I KNOW you missed it:

If I wanted to name names, I would have done so. If you already know that your attitude is f'ed up, that's what really matters. :D

Thank you for your thoughts Dr. Watson. :)

Since I enjoy conversing with all of the AAs, I don't think I have an f'ed up attitude.

Really, I don't expect people to be honest and say "You know what Diva, you're right. I only want to converse with people who belong to "elite" organizations." so your responses don't surprise me. Oh well. Remain in denial if you wish. :p

Personally, I check all of the forums, however, I do not post if I am not interested in the topic. I also do not post if the question is addressed to members of the organization to which the forum belongs to. I always believed that if I am going to enter into someone's house, I should respect their wishes. If I can't respect them, then I respectfully leave. I saw the Halloween post, but I did not and will not offer a response because it did not interest me (even though it was posted in my OWN house). Never believe that just because members from another Greek letter org. do not POST in a forum that they did not peek in to see the posts that are there. (I saw the post about the Thug Delta jacket on the Delta page, and the Iota poem to members of SGRho on the Iota page, and the discussion about whether anyone besides Deltas should call Omegas "bruh" on the Omega page, etc, etc, but they didn't move me so I didn't respond). I feel that if the intent of the Halloween post was to get the "blood off of the posters hands," then she can be certain that if she posts in one forum, most AA greek chatters will see it and at least be aware of her feelings. :rolleyes:

********Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner*********

Pretty3grl, thank you!!!! You are absolutely correct. If a forum has a thread I'm interested in replying to, I'll post. Otherwise, what's the point? So people like Midwestdiva can see my name in another forum? Please.:rolleyes:

If anyone takes the time to check out other forums, then you will know that we have similar topics to that of DST. I post in the A Phi A forum because Professor and Sphinxpoet just got it goin' on!;) They always have something interesting to say. I just recently posted in the Kappa forum because there was a topic of interest to me.

Also, for the record, we are not the only people upset by the multiple posting. If only you could read the Moderator's Corner, you would know better. ;)

Moderators
 

That's good to hear that ALL moderators are intolerant of repeat posts.
Having said that, however, I still see in other forums where the mods, for whatever reason, are either slow to lock or combine or won't do it.
One of many reasons I enjoy the NPHC forums is that the moderators keep things flowing and I don't have to slog through endless repeat posts.
I have a lot of time on my hands, even at work.
;) :p

my 1/2 of a cent...
 

WOW... well, everything I wanted to say has been said. Thanks to CT4, Ideal, sunnydays96, AKAtude, SteelTrap :p ...


CodeBlue and I guess you too MidwestDiva,
You know what, I have all of the BGLOs on my Control Panel. I visit GC almost on a daily basis... I visit whoever's forum has new posts. I post where I am interested in the topic. You can check my track record... I am sure you know where my "interest" lies. One could surmise that from the usual locality of my responses.

But you know what? My INTEREST has a minimal affect on where my posts end up. I just don't spend my time on things that don't entertain me... If there aren't any new posts in a forum for UMPTEEN number of days, I probably won't be posting there. But I am sure they aren't missing my company and personal opinions. :rolleyes:

the originator
 

You're welcome, novella_000.
You created a new word in my vocabulary, what with the "binch" and all.

;) :D

I find it interesting that people are responding to this thread as if they are on trial.

I am attempting to put the shoe on the other foot so I can better understand where you all are coming from. I have seen threads pop up on more than one occasion, where members are voicing their opinions about certain behaviors they observe in sisterfriends (asking questions that have already been answered, seeking membership information, not searching, etc). I do not get excited when these posts appear. If they don't apply to me specifically, then they must apply to some other sisterfriend. Otherwise, the post would not be there.

So for the life of me, I can't understand why people who say they do not have "elitist" posting patterns are so upset by my comments. If the shoe doesn't fit you, it will fit someone else. Only the guilty feel the need to get defensive.

speaking of binchin'...
 

I post with a muted chuckle here... because the trial has not begun.

Perhaps my (or maybe our, though I can't speak for others) tone was mistaken...

There is very little to say in rebuttal, and I use that term loosely, to you MD. However, I applaud you in standing firm...
I represent myself, not b/c I feel I have been indicted, but b/c this thread was of interest.

You can commence to all of your shouting from the rooftops...
Actually, it's more like you're whispering through a megaphone... either way you've been successful in making your opinions known. Isn't it great knowing who you are when it really counts?

It amazes me that posted your opinion & you didn't want a response? Or maybe you did and you got it? I don't know?
Guess I am just dumb?

You know what...

MidwestDiva and CodeBlue, I owe the two of you an apology.

I am not repenting for my opinion, only my attitude.

It is a massive irritation for me when people cry WOLF all of the time... For instance, I have a co-worker who cites racism on any occasion that a white person is involved in one of her daily irritations... Alternately, if she has a problem with a black person, she cites jealousy. That bugs the crap outta me. :mad:

So...

Whenever I hear someone speak in what I feel to be a sensationalist tone, or they pull one of those, "Well it's because so-and-so is a such-and-such" comments... I get this malicious urge to be rude & sarcastic. Possibly adding fuel to the fire, or just inciting some sort of negative vibe/behaviour. It is a major character flaw on my part, and I apologize.

MD your comments irritated me because they sounded like someone whose had a bad experience with something and thereby labels all others. I may be wrong, I have no way of knowing, and frankly, it doesn't matter. It was wrong of me to post in the attitude I posted in. If you didn't sense it, great! But, I have to "correct the negativity" from my end if you will... I apologize for my personal assumptions and attitude.

CodeBlue, your comments irritated me personally because, as I stated it all sounded so sensationalistic... Like on of those chain e-mails that tells you bad luck is imminent if you don't forward the item to 15 people. I was wrong for my attitude and my assumptions... I apologize to you too.

Now that doesn't change how I feel about the comments you made... But there is enough drama around here without my sarcastic mouth contributing to the fire.

Now I realize neither of you needed my apologies... but you know, good vibes are good vibes, and I'd rather transmit those.

I didn't modify my previous posts or send private e-mails for this because I am hoping that those who've already read what I had to say will read this and accept my apology too. Our GC Moderators attempt to weed out the crap, and they do a good job... But I can take responsibilty for my words/attitude too.

Folks Just Loooooove Us!
 

I'm not upset. I already said I was an "elitist", as you call some of us.:D I'm sorry that not everyone has that platinum BAP card. Now, take yourself back on to the post-1913 organization forum you want to be a part of and see how many brownie points they are going to give you.;)

***Oops. Did I offend? :p My mama warned me about my tongue. Bad, AKAtude!***

***AKAtude singing...This...Is...A...Serious...Matter!***

Re: Folks Just Loooooove Us!
 

:eek: :eek: OOOOOOH MY!!

The End
 

Ok! That's all, folks!!!!!!!!!

Re: The End-Yes INdeed!
 

I thought this thread was about HALLOWEEN....

hmmmmmmm. TRICK OR TREAT? I guess it's all tricks! LMAO!

There is too much going on in this world than to wonder/assess/see/pay attention to who is or who is NOT posting in a particular forum. Why is it so important? Why are you all wasting your time responding? What is it going to change?

PEEPS, do what you want, it's your PC, it's your fingers, it's your decision. When someone decides to pay your ISP bill, then you can become controlled..otherwise...leave the mess alone!

This discussion should have been over from the get-go.

Didn't I state in the Pearls of Wisdom about posting here and everywhere else? This should have been deleted days ago!
:D
;)

I was having too much fun.:D
