That makes me kind of sad that I'm being told that I should be flattered. Like it was said earlier, I know that "imitiation" is a form of "flattery", but quite honestly I'm not flattered.
This might sound totally off kilter, but I kind of feel like something has been stolen from me. I take huge pride in our motto and to know that some local, who was attempting to affiliate with us, has essentially stolen it, really, really irks the daylights out of me. I'm sorry but that is how I feel.
I get that there is nothing I can do. I've voiced my concern to EO. I cannot control if they don't see it as much of an issue as I do. Different perspectives = different reactions. I get that. I can at least say "Hey I don't feel this is right".
I do want to thank OTW, VandalSquirrel, and MaggieXi for understanding where we are coming from. I know I appreciate it, and I'm sure my sisters do too.
