Ok, here I go tarnishing my reputation on here, but I feel it needs to be said simply because it's my opinion and that's what everything on here is based on, opinion.

Banning UF_Pike from this board is ridiculous. We all have people on here that cause a stir in all of us or that we just feel are inappropriate, now granted not to the extent that he was, but still, we all have those people. So what do adults do? They ignore what offends them. Therefore, I ignore the people I find obnoxious and do not respond to their comments. Telling on someone and having them banned from a public message board where we ALL state our opinions is completely uncalled for. We definitely DO NOT AGREE with many of the things he said, but I don't agree with many things said on here and the bottom line is knowing him better than the rest of ya'll...he is a decent guy, he is a smart ass, but to find the humor in the things he says, you kind of have to know him. And obviously he's someone that made enough of an impression on ya'll to warrant the many responses to him. And as I said to a Phi Mu sister of mine on here, my organization taught me not to judge people before I know them, therefore, I chose to get to know him before writing him off as an ass. Thank the Lord I did because he's honestly a hilarious man, on and off the board. It's absurd that people on here would rather get rid of someone that rocks the boat than respect his opinions and statements, whether they offend you or not. Like it or not he really is a Pike and really is greek...just like the rest of us...though I do in some ways think he's a little more mature than the rest of us on here who told on him to get the spotlight back on themselves.

Shame on you. Grow up! And if you think I'm full of shit from now on fine, but at least I know that I did the proper thing as a greek would do and knew the person instead of their internet horseshat.
