I still don't quite understand what's happened here or why (maybe the answers can be found in other threads), but I don't think that your relationship with people here on gc is beyond repair. Maybe I'm just an optimist at heart but I figure new thread, new introduction. Atleast that's the way it should be unless there is a history of someone being a certain way or being perceived as a certain way. I still say that not everyone here speaks with one voice and there are those (like me) that will not care about what happened here in another thread. Like I said in earlier posts, we come from many different walks of life and are not carbon copies of eachother. I encourage you to move on to another thread and to continue to explore and benefit from the knowledge of others regarding "greek" life here on gc. It's really not that serious and I've found that people voice their opinions more freely on message boards simply because they can and no one will really police them. In person the situation would of course be handled much differently and with much more regard. That's why people constantly make comments like "It's just a message board" because it is and nothing that happens on a message board should be taken so seriously that you actually stop posting and communicating with others especially when you can only benefit from continuing. Although I do understand that it's only natural to feel personally attacked since words can cut rather deeply even in cyberspace. Good luck to you, continue to post where you'd like, and I'm sure you'll find that not everyone is against you.

I wasn't at home this weekend, and won't be this week so I don't know what kind of access to a computer I'll have. So, I'm just posting to tell you I will respond as soon as I get the time and opportunity. I just don't want to put up a "breezy" answer just to say I replied, but, I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you, either. To quote The Terminator, I'll be back.
