Of course I knew what word I meant! I'm not "sugar coating" it. It's a word that I simply will NEVER say, write, or type. Simple as that. Apparently you have lower standards.

Same here. We'll never come close to agreeing on this so why not just let it go.
Actually here it would be said with pride. On my campus it would be FAR from an insult. Usually it's ex-Greeks that use it as Greek life is so peripheral that the rest of the campus wouldn't even bother to use it.

And it is NEVER in the same category as "nigger". And I do think it helps to write it out...when you read that you remember why you would NEVER call someone that...it's sick. GDI is NOT in the same category and I think everyone who has been called by the aforementioned slur would be offended at putting GDI in that category.

I never said it was in the same category! Clearly you missed this part of my post:

Thank you, but I don't need to remind myself of why I don't use the word. (especially not by using the word)

Then don't compare it. There is no comparison. Like I said, people who have been called that probably do not appreciate your comparison.


Before you make blanket statements and ASSume you are right about everything please take into consideration that it's possible that you're not. As I said, here, GDI wouldn't be considered offensive at all...it's said with pride. And it's fine by me...being proud of being NOT Greek doesn't offend me at all.

Elitist..."classy"...gag me, please. You can't argue with those that are "always right".

I told Drolefille that if she says GDI is not derogatory at her school then I would have to believe her. So I was not making a blanket statement. It works both ways though. Don't think that just because GDI is okay at your school that it's okay everywhere else, because it's not.

I said I didn't think I was classier than everyone else.
