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.

You can call me rude all you want but the way she was asked to change her screen name was rude & thats my personal opinion! I would totally understand if she was wearing or posing as a DST but she wasnt! All that had to be said was that there was a rule that non-members couldnt use DST in their screen name without just saying hey change your screen name without explanation or a reason to why! This lady is NEW to GC & didnt know she was stepping on anyones toes! I am not trying to step on anyones toes either but I have said it & will say it again...its a PUBLIC forum & I havent broken any rules by stating my opinion...
I came here simply to be friendly & tell the lady that she had a PM and to check her box...I am a friendly person and not intending to be rude or ugly...
Being rude or ugly doesnt make your organization look good & can be seen by many PNM that may be turned off by the way sisters or brothers for that matter carry themselves.
