I think the ladies of DST were justified in expressing their concerns about a non-member using their letters in her username.

I think the only rude thing I've seen so far is a non-member going into another org's forum and calling its members rude.

If a person came to GC, used my letters, and had no affiliation whatsoever to my organization (whether it be as a New Member/collegian/alumna), I'd probably rip her a new one. That's just not done AT ALL.

I rarely ever post in the D9 forums, but as it was stated before it IS a public forum, and posting from members of other organizations is allowed providing they follow the guidelines and policies posted.
