I can't understand why you think this is "disrespectful." People post in other orgs' forums all the time. The issue seems to be that YOU thought it was OK to bash a whole subset of Greek life (West coast Greek systems) since it was in the ATO forum. Why on earth this is more ok than writing on your facebook page that so and so group sucks, or creating rush posters that disparage other fraternities, is beyond me. You got called on it, just like you would get called on drooling over random chicks by your girlfriend who you thought was in the bathroom. Unless it's explicitly stated or you're in a password protected area, it should be assumed anything you say on the internet is for everyone to see and comment on. But like I said, YOU got called on being douchey and now you're trying to blame it on others.
For REAL examples of disrespect in an org's forum, see
