Something that I need to say.
It's been brought to my attention that some of the Moderators, in the moderator forum, have been discussing some of my posts.
I am not SH80.
I am opinionated and forthright. I say what's on my mind and I don't hold back. When someone is mad, it's a tendency to use foul language. I was incredibly offended by someone's post, and I, on impulse, as we all do, lashed out.
I don't know all the details about whatever happened last year...and I don't want to know, but I can assure you that I am NOT any of those people. I do not walk around trying to make trouble. I am a nice person. I respect the greek life, or else I wouldn't have gone through rush or wanted to become one.
Phi Sigma Sigma is a great org, and I would be an excellent addition to their chapter. If they don't bid me, then that's cool, because I still made 30 new friends who I know love me, for who I am. I am responsible, level-headed and enthusiastic, and I want so much to be a part of that orginization.
Another thing, just to clarify...When I asked about transferring schools, I just wasn't sure about if I'd be allowed to Rush a different Soror. I'm new to this greek thing and I'm trying to learn what I can, and I'm kind of upset that a few of the moderators would bring that up in the Forum. It's almost like punishing a five year old for eating candy when he didn't know any better.
I love the girls of Phi Sig, and I honestly love it here, and the people I've met, and people that have been so supportive of me. (AKA-Diana, I love you.  ). ALso, the men's bathroom habit comment...I mean...it was in Chit Chat! It's not like I posted it in the Academic Forum.
I evidently like to have too much fun...Otherwise I can't imagine that after two weeks in GC I"ve already upset half of the Moderators.
So. If you want me to leave, if you really think it would improve the harmony of your little community, just say it, and I will.
But I'll say it again.
I'm NOT SH80. Nor anyone else.
I'm Jessica.
And I've only posted under Dejajeva.
Thanks for your time.
Jessica

Well . . .
I don't believe anyone is going to ask you to leave Jessica, so be of good cheer.
As a moderator and someone who appreciates this forum as an open and free expression of differing thoughts and opinions, as well as a nice example of freedom of expression as delineated by our first amendment rights, I am somewhat abashed that you felt that other members of this forum are making you self conscious enough to seek to explain and justify your posts.
Certainly I have never felt compelled to do something similar, nor would I ever, even in the face of others' dissaproval, censorship, or negative judgment of my character.
I will not patronize others by apologizing for their posts, or seeking to explain or rationalize their points of view, either good or bad, whether I agree or disagree.
However, I will say that as far as I am concerned, you have certainly not posted in any way that warrants any degree of justification (unless you so desire) or in a way that deserves censure.
So hopefully this thread will end any further debate or discussion that you believe may be impugning your character, motivations, or identity.
James

I have to agree with James on this one Folks. I can see if her posts are truly outrageous , offensive and plain disgusting like some of the many we have had before on Greek Chat. But really thats a totally different discussion.
We all have had the same discussion of conduct and yada yada, but we have had worse on GC(not saying you are worse Jessica)
We are all entitled to our own opinions and views and they should not be censored , just cause they are blunt and to the point . As for the profanity, ok we are all adults here on GC, we all have heard the words before and I am certain used the words before. So hearing it or seeing it should not shock you. And I have seen most of you drop a swear here or two in a post!
Greekchat is to gather, discuss, meet, chat,learn and what ever other definition comes to mind. Not to censor someone's opinon because they don't feel the same as you, let's be real all!
Jessica, as a moderator I am sorry,for I know not all of the mods will feel the same as I do, when people start being afraid to ask questions and post comments for fear of what a moderator might say. Then thats where we have a problem. So speak on, drop whatever 2cents you have and let be

Couldn't have said it better myself James...
I agree wholeheartedly James. I didn't see anything wrong with any of your previous posts on this board. We are all adults here, we can have discussions, even debates with opposing opinions on issues affecting us - and we should be able to voice those opinions without people jumping to conclusions about who we are and what we stand for - that is what the First Amendment is all about - freedom of speech.
So everyone, be a little more patient, understanding, and friendly - try not to jump all over people just because they are bold and say something you wouldn't.
Personally, I've talked to Jessica, she's a great girl, she would be a great addition to any GLO and I don't see any resemblence to past GC nuisance

Thank you for saying what has been on my mind and probably many others' minds for a while now.

A good day.
Thank you for everybody's support...I really appreciate it. I was a little down yesterday, but today I've had a better day than any I've had in the last two weeks. I was extended my bid to join Phi Sigma Sigma. Our formal "pref" party (which, oddly comes after bidding)...is Sunday.
Thank you to everyone, especially James, Diana, and IowaHawkEye.
Thanks, Guys!!!
(ps-you too exgreek)

Mods. :)
Yes, Mod stuff should be kept in the mod forum. However, if you talk about me in the mod forum and I hear about it I will be forced to defend myself.

Let's all get along, okay?

I know I should just leave this alone...
Since you aren't a moderator, how would you know what, if anything, is discussed in that forum? Do you have a spy? Are you trying to break in?
How are you going to make a blatent theat like "I'll be forced to defend myself" (defend agaist what, btw) & then say let's all get along?

Of course...!
No, I don't "break" in...I wouldn't know how. And, I don't have a "spy". But I'm friends with several of the moderators- and if you guys are talking bad about me, in that forum, and I hear about it, sure, I'll try to calm those issues. Ie-defend myself against blatant untruths. Such as...my posts were inapropriate, that I'm here to simply cause trouble...that I'm some other girl who I don't even know..
This hurts my feelings and I feel like I should defend myself against such judgements.
I think you would, as would anyone, too.
Always,
JEssica

aiiii chiwawa. Can we all just chill. This is a dead topic. Hate to be snotty but I hardly get the chance to be snotty. So bear (is it bare or bear) with me.
Lets all get over this, it's a done deal. If we all chill our tempers a bit I am sure we all will be back to regular GC standards.
So lets be happy and talk about umm, wait give me a sec, I am aweful at this, Tom E or Heidiho or Newbie or somebody give me a topic pleassse 
Well now that all this is over, i hope everyone had a great Monday and will have a great Tuesday 
Always

Re: Mods. :)
Possible discussion pertaining to Dejajeva, occurring in the moderator's forum, was alluded to by another moderator in a post in one of the other threads in this forum.

Well, Jessica, your posts have often been inappropriate as judged by the volume of e-mail I've gotten from GC non-moderators. Furthermore, you should not be hearing anything from your so-called "moderator friends" about what goes on there and the mods have been reminded that what happens on our forum should stay there.
I'm sure the moderators will continue to discuss anything we darn well choose to on our forum. 'Nuff said.

Carnation.
I am trying my hardest to be nice and let it go.
Can't you even try to be nice. Just let it die.
You can't stop anyone from telling anyone else what they want, so there's no point in dragging this out.

Did I miss something? What did she post that was so inappropiate, I read all of them, and nothing brought up a red flag. Just a few disagreements and curse words, but we are all adults. Right?
