Well first i've read your posts in a thread in one of the BGLO forums where you started it asking what appears to have been a VERY inappropriate question. Instead of apologizing and walking away, you kept at it and have continued to try to battle it out. You keep on trying to explain but in reality you just need to zip it and move on, having learned your lesson. You gotta know when to quit.
I don't see what you're even looking for here in this thread. I've never seen a single person on this board advocate "pledging people to near death because it make it seem like the worked for their letters and others didn't?".
All of our orgs, at least the national/international ones, have very specific policies against hazing and have very extensive policies and programs to combat it. The kind of hazing you're speaking of is also against the law. There are no real arguments in favor of it. What on earth are you looking for people to say?
A great example of how you can rub people the wrong way on here is to not bother to take the time to educate yourself by learing about groups in general or by using the SEARCH feature here on GC to read similar threads. If you have something new, unique, thought-provoking or whatever to bring up, then great! However, this thread topic has been discussed in great detail elsewhere and is pretty much an obvious sort of question. I'm really not trying to be harsh here, just trying to explain to you why people are reacting to you the way they are
