Yep, I think we understand each other. Other people don't agree, and that's okay. Many people do just as you recommended, but I foolishly chose a user name when I registered that provided more info. than in retrospect was really wise or necessary, not that there have been any problems that I know of. If I had it to do all over again, I think I would have made my campus and group affiliation less obvious.
I agree with some others that it's foolish to stereotype a group based on one person's actions or ideas, especially one on an anonymous message board, but I also know that how I regard groups is at least somewhat based on the people who I know in the group and how they act. Why chance the impression you're making of you and your group, over someone's reaction to the advice you gave? People will find out soon enough whether you know of what you speak. That's all I meant originally.
Just a heads up: I suspect that this might get ugly/uglier because Tom has joined the thread. I'm not trying to make you shut up, but I'd just let it go, unless you just want dramatic and hostile back and forth over not much.
