Thank you for the clarification. I too find some actions offensive and am likely to start foaming at the mouth at them. But I will draw the line when my friends want to say . . burn the people's house down.
Or in this case, I may deplore their actions, but I would not suport some type of official or institutional response.
And certainly not some feel good scape goatism that the chapter is doing in an attempt to cut their losses.

But as a human being, I don't have to like what those frat boys--and lets not kid ourselves, thats what they are--did. It was stupid and cruel and offensive. They should be ashamed of themselves and there should be some kind of consequence to their actions.
The settlement may very well have been appropriate under the law. But that doesn't mean that it sits well with me morally.
Remember James, I'm a person, too.
