Bottom line is that I have a right to dissent about any item or topic that I disagree with. That's all it is: a voice of dissent.

Probably not. My feelings aren't hurt at all, I simply refuse to be silent anymore. No more, no less.
Can you imagine Greekchat (or any discussion forum) if everyone just blindly agreed with everyone solely for the sake of agreement?
Dissent fuels thought and intellect. It builds character and challenges you to think outside the box, something we as humans are too lazy to do unless there is something that motivates us to do so.

that's your entire mantra. your entire existence on this site is the voice of dissent. the fact that you're taking your "refusal to be silent" is remiscent of someone who didn't make a line and therefore has to be a thorn in the side of an organization because of that. you graduated a while ago, but still seem to be bitter due to something of this magnatude.
your dissent doesn't breed thought or intellectual discourse due to the fact that no matter what the issue, you're going to have a negative viewpoint. you don't bring up intelligent points, you bring up inflammatory nonsense so that you can sit smugly behind your computer and think "i told you black greeks something today!!!"
it's quite a pathetic existence that you have because it seems that nothing is positive in your life, thus you must bring other people down in order for you to feel top dog.
