SigKapKatzue,
As far as I’m aware, posting to (and even arguing in) the Sigma Kappa board is perfectly OK as long as GC rules continue to be followed. However, if it makes you uncomfortable I’ll gladly repost in Greek Life.
No one blames you for being upset that your badge is being sold. That is perfectly OK. You’ll notice I never criticized your feelings about the pin being on ebay. I criticized your reaction to this seller’s email.
“…all I did was express distress at seeing a badge that means the world to me on sale for just a few dollars.” Well fine, but that’s NOT all you did. In your second post here you called the seller “ignorant”, with no basis whatsoever for that characterization. And I went on to point out the ignorance in your own posts. And now you’re “shattered” because I said you were ignorant. Hmm. From this I infer that it’s OK to call someone ignorant, but only if they’re not a member of Greekchat and unable to defend themselves. Cheap potshots against offboarders are apparently still OK.
You keep talking about how rude this guy’s response was, but I thought what he wrote was cordial and even thoughtful. So aside from his unwillingness to stop the auction and give you the pin, how exactly was his response rude? Which line? The only thing he wrote that’s even mildly adversarial is his last line: “Next time, please don't put someone down unless you know somebodys full story” …which I assume is in direct response to something you wrote (and perhaps edited out of the paraphrased version you later posted here).
You do a lot of complaining about various people disrespecting you and your organization, and I have to say that’s pretty ballsy considering the things you’ve said about this seller. Anyway, I never have understood the argument that ebay sellers are somehow disrespecting GLO members. As if it were a spite thing or something. “Disrespect in the highest form”, crzychx called it. I buy an estate and I’m supposed to pick through to find all the items that might potentially piss people off if I resold them, and I’m supposed to somehow already know exactly which items will piss those people off, and then I’m supposed to take all those items and simply donate them back to the pissed off people, and if I politely decline to do so, I’m disrespecting them. And I’m ignorant. And rude. And I’m making excuses. And my job is immoral. That doesn’t sound ridiculous to you?
Granted, he may very well be lying about the whole thing. Personally I don’t see why he would, since he obviously knows there’s nothing you can do to stop the auction anyway.
I’m not trying to insult you. I just thought you were being harsh, and that your anger toward this guy was entirely misplaced.
