I'll publicly state why my signature is what it is. I'm not ashamed of anything.
I've been on GC a long time and it's no secret that I'm often rude, obnoxious, and opinionated. Love me or hate me...I really don't care.
GammaZeta, you said yourself that you don't venture out much outside the LXA forum. Maybe it's time for you to change that because then you'll see the racist and sexist comments he's posted, and let's not forget the harassing PMs he loves to send out -- Subject: Tom Earp. His actions were the reason why the site administrator decided that he wasn't fit to be a moderator anymore.
When Tom Earp and I were both moderators (he was de-modded and I left voluntarily, btw) he made it a point to continuously threaten me. See, he liked to brag over and over again that he and Connie Yates Brown, former Alpha Gamma Delta International President, were close friends. He threatened that he was going to 'sic her on me. I didn't care. I already knew that I was being monitored and I did my best to stress that the views I expressed were that of my own and not of my Fraternity.
About this time last year, I received a confidential letter via registered mail just as I was getting ready for Convention. The contents of that letter are private sorority business between IHQ and me. To this day, some of my chapter sisters don't even know about it.
So why, at Convention, did one of my GC sisters report back to me with the contents of that letter? Oh that's right. She found out from Tom Earp. Any guesses as to how he found out? Also, I have no reason to believe that she lied to make him look bad. She and Tom Earp are friends IRL.
I don't know who else he PMed with that information, but apparently he went around GC bragging that he had got me thrown out of my sorority. Too bad for him though, I'm still a member.
I don't know what hurts more. A stranger I've only known online attempting to get me thrown out of my sorority because he didn't like the things I said online? Or my very own sister, an International President, betraying me like that? It's obvious that it's the latter. Maybe that's why she wasn't re-elected to a second term? But I digress...
The bottom line: there was no way in hell anyone could have known what my International Council told me in that letter. Everyone knew that he was out to get me. In the end, he meddled where he shouldn't have and proceeded to harass me via PM despite my attempts to keep this as quiet as possible. The PMs only stopped once I started telling GC my situation and I changed my signature to what it is now.
I've told Tom that I'd take the signature down once he publicly accepts responsibility for his actions and once he offers me an apology for the hell he's put me through. Until he does, my signature stays the same.
If you want to publicly mock my signature, feel free to do so because it won't bother me. My beef is with Tom, not you. Whether or not you or the other LXAs believe me is of no matter to me, either. I know what happened and am willing to discuss this publicly because I'm not ashamed of anything. Tom, on the other hand, refuses to do so.
It hurt. But then the hurt eventually turned into anger.
I've received nothing but support from my sisters, and to be honest...in the end, that's all that matters.
