Getting back to the quote, it is, extremely disturbing that a moderator (AXO Alum) thinks "being hateful" is OK.

Come on now, she did not say that. She said that hateful wasn't against the TOS--and--she said that people respecting others was the basic problem. Please do not twist words around to benefit your opinion. That is why I quoted the entire thought.

Yet, some of the worst violations to the Terms of Service on Greek Chat are committed by the very people who John had entrusted to enforce the Terms of Service. How can you have a peaceful town when the sheriff's department is corrupt?

Excuse me? You might not agree with every poster on here, or every mod, and that's okay. I don't think it's fair to generalize that all mods are "corrupt". I hope that was not your point, but if it was, well, I'm speechless.

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'm not at all clear on what this statement means. If you don't feel comfortable elaborating on it on the board, please feel free to PM me.

I'll elaborate I don't know details since I'm an AOII, but I'll say that AI policy and procedure in AOII is probably different than for ZTA. AOII has done alumna initiation since virtually our beginning, and according to the info available here on GC ZTA only does it in special situations. Therefore, I'd imagine that if you pledged AOII in college but transferred before initiating that your journey to initiation might have been different than what you encountered in your journey back to ZTA. Hopefully that makes sense to everyone?

And I disagree. I run a sailing message board because I like to sail. However, I am clearly a beginner. My job as moderator is simply to help stimulate nautical conversation and to make sure the TOS are enforced.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I've said it before and will say it again, in this particular area I truly believe a knowledgable and experienced mod should be appointed.
