You misinterpreted my post (you do that a lot). I meant that the whole chapter should not have to bear the mantle of "those bitches gave me a bid and then took it away!" when the whole chapter never gave her a bid in the first place, one misguided person took it upon themselves to do so.

I personally would not want a "pity bid" or a "OMG we didn't make quota" bid. If I wasn't good enough to be on a bid list after prefs, put on there by the majority of the chapter, I would rather go through COB and make sure they really want me for me, not for my warm body or because I'm pathetic.
