I didn't see it as a terrible thing either. I agree that someone might be slightly offended because of some less than tactful comments, but I am giving props to the OP for not continuing to point fingers or blame. I think her explanation rings genuine. Maybe not well thought out - but genuine feelings. And, in reading back over the thread, I do think she was reflecting on her own insecurities, hang ups, misinterpretations, etc. She has tried to calmly explain herself (no flounce or insults) repeatedly, has apologized and tried to explain the reasons she posted.

Whatever her reasons, I have read trolls who have acted far worse,set out to make a mockery of Greek life, planned their whole thread to make GC members angry, and accomplished it. I don't think that was the case here.

Sometimes people say and do things without thinking it all the way through...that is my opinion of the OP's faux pas with some of her more revealing details.

I do agree that Stanleypeep should quit trying to explain herself. It isn't going to get any better because the damage is done for some people and no amount of explanation is going to change minds.
