As far as John and the forums are concerned, the D9 forums are not 'all inclusive' forums, they are org specific. What's posted on their board is essentially their business. The AI forum is GreekChat-wide business. John may or may not have a problem with this. I certainly don't think he runs GC with his own money so only a "select few" can post what *they* deem as acceptable.

This has been thoroughly addressed but is still so ridiculous that I want to respond as well.
1)Org. specific forums are not JUST for members of that org. You may choose not to read other groups' forums, but acting like it's your
duty or obligation to be ignorant of how they're run is just preposterous.
Because AI [as it is discussed in this forum] is an exclusively NPC concern, the vast majority of posters in this thread have been NPC women. Yet somehow, they still manage to know how the NPHC sororities handle membership inquiries in their forums. How perplexing!
2) News flash for you: This is an
internet message board. John may not want a specific few to only post what they deem is acceptable, but I do believe he wants a moderated forum rather than a trainwreck. In the case of AI, more stringent moderation is needed, and that means locking down threads where women try to 'pursue' AI. Moderating a forum that has been known to cause controversy and 40-page-long threads debating the validity and necessity of its existence is hardly stripping people of their God-given right to free speech. It's the internet. It's not an appropriate venue for people to pursue AI [whether or not such a venue even exists is a different matter]. Therefore, moderating it by locking down such threads is merely removing inappropriate content, like spam, pornographic, or nonsense threads.
