You know, I like you, kid...but I really don't think you have thick enough skin for GC if you feel attacked in this discussion.

Ok, perhaps "attacked" was too strong a word. I just see people all the time getting argumentative about stupid crap - if I state an opinion, someone immediately has to jump on it and call me out as wrong because I disagree with something they think. I got news for everyone - hope you're sitting down... THIS IS AN ONLINE FORUM AND I'M ON HERE FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND DISCUSSION. Meaning, what you think about me doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things I call my life. So... if you disagree with something I say, so be it - no need to be nasty about it, just say it plainly is all. rationally and respectully. And if I say something that is definitely inaccurate or even incorrect, no need to jump on me, just PM me and tell me, no need to be mean about it. We are all adults, right???

Thanks to Mystic and BlueNYC for that clarification. See how easy that was, folks?

It is your perception that people are argumentative.

It could be possible that yes, you are too sensitive for discussing Greek life rationally.

For example, it is not rational to expect -- feel entitled, if you will -- to a personal, private message if someone disagrees with you.

We have no loyalty or allegiance to you, and from what I can gather, you don't have any real life friends who are members of GC.

Whatever the case may be, you should be mature enough to do a few things:

1) Ask thoughtful questions -- realizing your ignorance of a topic without judging it.

2) Have a debate without crying "attacked" every time.

Just trying to help you see the other side of the coin.

Now this is worth a shot of chai latte.
