For the defense of GC, not everyone that uses or posts on GC is affiliated with a GLO.

I understand what you are trying to say. Also as Imperial mentioned, I am sure that the people who seem the most awful are really not that way. I am just pointing out that a lot of the things that are said on these boards (by both Greeks and Non-Greeks) we really could ALL do without. Being part of this forum definately brings out all kinds and I haven't been around from the beginning, I've only been active on this site since early this past spring. I am sure a lot has changed since then, some for the better, some for the worst. Some of the sites I belong to have gotten their share of nastiness but it has been killed quickly by swift moderators. I know that is one of the biggest challenges of this site since it has so many members, it is impossible to review every post. And I also realize some of us are more sensitive then others, and when things are posted, they can be interpreted in MANY different ways. But I think everyone gets the point of what this thread (and the other threads about this same topic) mean. I still think it is better to be nice, educate people in a professional and non-confrontational way if they say something that offends others, and again, if there is not something nice to say, just don't say it. You also learn a lot about how people are by what they write.......This aspect doesn't account for everything about a person obviously, but plays a big part.
