No kidding. I've been trying to play nicer, seriously.

Had I know what a bitch this woman was going to be, I wouldn't have bothered with the niceties.

ETA: I think the reason (for future newbies' reference) why she "got the red carpet rolled out" is because, even though her question was inappropriate, she was still polite (at first) about it, and took the time to form spesfic questions. Unlike the huge amount of post-and-runs we get on here that start a thread saying "Tell me the reputations of the chapters at State U". I really believe that people get out of their answer what they put into their question. You make and effort, we make an effort. However, there are still certain questions, such as this one and NPHC membership questions, that never have and never will be answered here on GC, no matter how nicely the question is wrapped up.
