Greek forum love please
 
Well,this thread can be responsive or just read. This greek chat forum is a good way I think to talk to greeks about certain situations and concerns. I also know that some things are of limits. If you think that someone is asking or saying something that is off limits just say they are of limits and don't talk to them. No one asked you to respond. I read question on here that are okay questions or opinions and they are called trolls or fakes or just being out of line. If someone askes a question that you don't want to answer don't answer it. If questions and opinions bother you that much to attack someone on a simple question then, you have to think is it the question that is wrong or is it me being defensive?

If someone comes to you and ask a question about pledging or confused about what organization they want to be a part of; don't accuse them of being dumb, stupid, or crazy. They will never stop asking questions until the question is answered so why won't you say well so............ and go on. They came here for help and answers. If you don't like it or don't want to answer then don't. Do not bring them down. Don't look down on them because they are not a greek that is why they came here to ask greeks. To sum this all up if it is not a question you want to answer or have any involement in then don't. If it does not apply let if fly.

Stop being wrong and defensive.

You're dumb, stupid, and crazy.

Junior Mints here!

jessi, you're a trip! :)

LOL Drolefille.

I'm still trying to decide if I want this thread to be "responsive or just read"... hmmm...

Please, no internet food. Internet food is as cool as the OP.

Just like telling all of GC that you just spit at your computer after reading something funny online. :)

You forgot to include random quotes totally irrelevant to your point in your post in order to get the full effect.

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:28 PM

You have a choice to respond no one forced this on you. You can read it or not it is not mandatory that you read this. It is totally up you guys. All I'm saying just try to be respectful as possible if you can, if you can't then don't respond. This world has enough hatred towards each other on a everyday basis. You can turn on CNN and see it. When someone asks you for help don't turn them away, just direct them in the way that they can get help. If you don't want to help then don't. It is enough turning the other cheek in this world. Do you agree?

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:29 PM

I will direct you to a grammar text book. I'm really not trying to be mean, but it is hard to get a serious point across when your spelling and grammar are so atrocious. I, of course, take the hit in advance if I have mispelled or mispunctuated something in this paragraph!:p

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things

Hmmm and you can choose not to visit this forum.

Velocity_14 09-24-2007 10:36 PM

Does anybody have some kool-aid???

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:36 PM

Thank you.

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:37 PM

Yes! I can choose to visit this forum, but just like you I refuse to ignore it.

nittanyalum 09-24-2007 10:38 PM

I get the whole "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all", I'm all for that. But I have to ask, WHAT does this quote have to do with anything you're posting about? Or have posted about in the past? If you just want to post random thoughts, wouldn't a personal blog be more appropriate than GC? Just wondering (respectfully).

DOH!! I missed the Hills! I KNEW there was something I usually watched on Mondays... anything good happen? And no, I don't mind hijacking this thread, I'm sure wannabe will pull it right back on to "topic" soon...

nittanyalum 09-24-2007 10:42 PM

It appears you went quote-book shopping to get yourself fully armed to come back at GC with ready ammo...

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:44 PM

Well that quote goes back to being nicer to other people. Words are powerful things and they are just as dangerous as the tongue. People can be evil not just by actions but by words as well.

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:44 PM

Yes I did

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:47 PM

When money talks, nobody notices what grammar it uses.

LPIDelta 09-24-2007 10:47 PM

Jessi--I am going to try, once again, to help you out. Why did you come here tonight to start a thread that only baits the responses you are getting? If you had come back after a few weeks away and asked genuine questions, you may have gotten some genuine answers.

Now, is there something we can answer for you? A Greek life experience you'd like to share? If not, this may not be the forum for you.

***I am not trying to feed the troll, I am trying to get this poor girl to think about what she is doing here. If she is a troll, she'll keep baiting people. If she really cares about having a future in a Greek organization, she will step away from the computer slowly and get on with life."

nittanyalum 09-24-2007 10:49 PM

Oo, are we all going to get some money out of this somehow?? :)

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:49 PM

The misconceptions about grammar posted on the 'Net are at least as bad as the misconceptions about evolution, presumably because American public schools do an equally bad job of teaching both

icelandelf 09-24-2007 10:50 PM

Oooo! Oooo! I have one--

nittanyalum 09-24-2007 10:51 PM

Aw, see, LPIDelta got her very sensible post in before my snarky one so now mine is even lamer.

Yeah, I'm with her, wannabe, you're clearly just baiting and though it's relatively amusing, it's basically a waste of everyone's time. I'll bid you a respectful good night. I'm going to go see if I can find a repeat of The Hills ...

jessiwannabe 09-24-2007 10:56 PM

No seeing as though this is been going on in other threads as well I just wanted to see why is their so much hate towards people who post things,clearly you have your own opinion but why bash someone because of what they believe in. This world has been doing this for years to each other. Don't you think it is time for a change? Uplift someone sometimes don't bring them down. That is all this thread is about if someone goes and twist it that is their business but all this thread is really about is being helpful to others and generously answering their questions. If they have any
