I don't believe I ever made such a statement on GC. If I have, then someone feel free to please post her or PM me with a direct link (Yes, I did a search, and it was an exact quote--but not made by me.)
BTW folks, this is the exact quote blueangel is attributing:
"Sorry, but hateful isn't a violation of the TOS. If it were, then I think that GC would be a very empty place. Everybody has their opinions about things - its learning to respect their right to have their own opinion that gets so many people hung up."
After reading this, I would speculate that the OP possibly meant something along the lines of "we're not all going to get along so we might as well learn to live with it or move on". But, as I did not make the statement, I won't speculate further.
As for answering any other questions, I'll stand by my original comments. It's not surprising that there is a lot of activity by some of the "active GCers" in a thread that is not only busy, but controversial.
Personally--I think it's great that AOII does AI. I don't know any different because that's how I've been taught for almost 22 years. I'm really happy that you were able to find your way back to ZTA, although I know that your AI journey in probably would have been rather different if you had originally pledged AOII in college. No, I don't know details but I feel I know enough in general to safely make that statement.
I do, however, respect that other sororities and some individual sorority members in general don't look at AI the way I might or the way AOII might as an organization. That's okay. I think that's a lot of the problem in this particular subforum--it needs someone who is well versed in general NPC knowledge, general AI knowledge AND can respect the requests of GC members who are knowledgable about their sorority's policies to ensure appropriate and accurate information about AI is out there.
Internet message boards aren't always "smiling happy people holding hands" slices of cyberspace. They're not. This particular topic CLEARLY can be emotional for some people. That's okay. Seriously folks, we're not all going to get along, we don't all have the same journey in our respective GLOs, and one size does not fit all. This isn't nirvana, it's a free public internet message board.

Again, I ask that everyone reading and/or posting in this thread remember that John is probably quite aware of the situation and will take action as soon as time allows. GC is not John's full-time job, although we'd all like to see more of him around here
