If this was a point of pros and cons on a particular issue, we could trade words back and forth all day. However, this all stems from no one giving me a single thought on a not too difficult statement. It makes me wonder if you didn’t have a view one way or the other, and if that was the case; I would have accepted that.

Ladies of Delta Sigma Theta, let me apologize for even replying to this thread when it seems to be directed to you all. However, I feel compelled to reply. Carla, delete as you see fit. You know I won't be offended.
Nuyorican, you seem to have a sense of entitlement: you seem to feel as though you are entitled to a response from GCers. Why is that? Do you know how many threads get NO RESPONSE? So what? And then you get defensive behind the responses that you DO get. Something being vague is relative. Of course it wasn't vague to you, because it was YOUR thought. But how can you say it's not vague to someone else? If it was vague to them, it was vague to them, plain and simple. And you didn't accept people not having a view one way or another. Perhaps THAT'S why no one responded in the first place, because they didn't have a viewpoint to share. It's a waste of time to reply, "I don't care one way or another." And who are you to tell someone in what ways to expend their energy?
AND you had the nerve to insult people's posting patterns. How do you know that these women don't spend ALL day discussing "pressing issues" such as your own, and when they come to GC it is to unwind with FUN, SOCIAL topics? To get sarcastic and say, "Oh, that really makes for great rhetoric," is foul. After that, you shouldn't have even been looking for a response because what you said was insulting.
