much respect...
possibly there is another reason why rudeness is traded back and forth...that reason being: assumption.
assumption on the part of members that all women who post are somehow "digging for info" or just trying to be buddy buddy to get in good.
assumption on the part of the interests that they "deserve" to know everything about an organization.
both are completely wrong. i post here and on many many other forums...*when i have the time*...because i love good conversation and debate. i have actually used some of the arguments for or against issues that i have seen on this forum and others in my "real life" because they helped me reshape an already existing opinion that i held or even helped me argue effectively against an opinion that someone else holds just by getting various opinions through this forum and others.
i come back because regardless of people being rude or considerate...it is interesting.
interests need to understand that the internet, forums, websites etc. are the last stops to an otherwise long search into what organization is the best fit. so don't just "expect" to get the answer here...there are books and "real life" people that can help you much more than the internet can.
sorry if my post was too long...this just popped into my mind.
peace
p.s. after reading the post after mine...i was concerned that i would be perceived as trying to "speak for" Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. let me just make sure that from here on out it is understood...so there will be no confusion...i am in no way shape or form a member or attempting to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. i don't want any issues surrounding any incorrect perceptions on either end of the spectrum.
just had to add this...sorry it ran so long.
