Hi boss -

I'm not going to go through point-by-point, as I have a limited amount of time to complete an inordinate number of tasks today - however, I'll make three easy-to-quote comments that you can respond to in like:

1- You completely strawmanned Hoosier's purpose here with your incessent attacking and counterattacking back and forth (and, yes, Hoosier has weakened his stance by doing the same) - can you not see this?

2 - If your reason for being on the board is your interest group, and you seem to be asserting that to be a goal of the highest order (which I won't argue with), why would you cut on Hoosier for having a similarly singular reason for posting?

Personally, I find Hoosier to be a valuable member of this board - the things he posts are far more valuable to the greek community (generally social greeks, but again they comprise a large portion of greek life) than almost any other posts in this forum, greek life, and etc.

3 - Finally . . . you again strawman the argument with your semantic argument about "topic/subtopic" - being a pedantic ass doesn't get anyone anywhere; our discussion here is quickly falling off the cliff into fallacious logic and faulty argument.

Bottom line: this is a forum set up to discuss Risk Management issues - and hazing is one of the two biggest issues facing greek life today, in my opinion (the other being drug/alcohol use/abuse). If you don't desire discussion, or don't like the way Hoosier presents things, fine - but don't resort to ad hominem attacks and then claim the moral highground. That's ridiculous - if you desire, take the high road and discuss the topic in a mature fashion, just like you're asking everyone else to.
