I think you'd have bigger issues than that. It would mean that your friends disregarded everything you've ever done in person, everything you've done as a real live person (not as words on a message board) and given more credence to some invisible people
who they don't even know.
If someone doesn't want to join my Fraternity because of something they've seen on a
message board, or because of something I've written on a message board then good! Let the door hit 'em on the way out. They're entitled.
But the minute someone attacks the Creed of my Fraternity and calls into question whether my sisters are living up to that Creed, then yes, I'm going to say something.
Attacking people. Sister, please. Let me provide a definition of
ad hominem (i.e., an ad hominem attack):
attacking an opponent’s motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain.
I don't see anywhere in this thread where said "So and so is a stupid trout-smelling fig for saying that" or saying "Man, you're dumb as a boat full of drunken Republicans if you believe you don't represent your Fraternity!". All I've seen is people arguing about the
logic of these arguments. They've been passionate arguments, but they're not personal attacks. But honestly, maybe I've missed something. It's early, and I'm not wearing my glasses.
I'm serious. It's just a MESSAGE BOARD. Why do people take this isht so seriously?
