To be completley honest, posting compliments to one or two people in a thread where you're also bashing one or two people doesn't just reflect poorly on the OP - unfortunately, if this thread wrecks itself further posters may just start associating FSUZeta and ellebud with it, something I'm sure they wouldn't want and something that really shouldn't happen.
I really don't understand why people don't realize that while we're constantly reminded that we're a reflection of ourselves and our organizations, that when we post anyone's name we're also a reflection of that person (who we choose, either passively or actively, to associate with).
Like, I can't say "OMG I LOVE MYSTICCAT AND IRISHLAKE BUT THAT TRIDELTA ALUM IS A REALLY BIG JERKHOLE AND CERTAINLY DOESN'T ACT LIKE AN ADULT," start a train-wreck thread about it, and think that that's not reflecting somewhat poorly on MysticCat and IrishLake (names used for relative proximity to this post - all image damage is therefore unintentional and incidental).
Just food for thought, really. I mean, my online username persona can go to hell for all I care but I'd rather not take others down with me (certainly not those whose posts I enjoy reading).
ETA: It's threads like this that make me REALLY miss nittanyalum a whole heck of a lot more than normal.
