i'm just feeling things out, and i may have perceived what you wrote incorrectly since i obviously don't know your intent, however, it seems to me that you're merely attempting to back pedal out of a statement that you must admit sounds indicative of encouraging people to avoid exposure. am i wrong?
you're the one who wrote "bad press", so yes, you tagged the media coverage as "bad", but then you go on to say that you DON"T believe the media coverage to be bad. given the nature of this incident that involves deception and blatant irresponsibility, i read your statement "come on people, we should all know by now not to put anything in writing" as more or less a blanket statement regarding how to handle or "get around" matters. maybe i'm reading things too literally, however, people think in language, and i happen to believe that language ultimately gives people away everytime, despite any Orwellian "doublspeak" (i.e. DISCRETION)soft language that only exists to cover and obsfucate truth. it's rampant everywhere in this culture, not just the greek system. i'm willing to bet that the girl who did write that email is denying doing anything wrong at all, and if there had been no email and the encouragement of lying was done only word of mouth, if someone was tipped off about it, most people would deny there being any truth to the "rumor" - so that's why i read your comment about not putting anything in writing the way i did.
