Why are peolpe on Greek Chat so rude?

[DSTCHAOS]

I have yet to read anything that I can't imagine someone saying face-to-face.

Ever been in a heated discussion, debate, or even argument in real life? Apparently you haven't.

I find it amusing that the person who likes making assumptions like "Schools with Phi Beta Kappa chapters have the kind of students we all want in our orgs" (thereby implicitly disparaging the fraternities & sororities who aren't as prevalent at these schools) is accusing anyone of being rude.

Upon reading this I initially thought I had lots to say, but DSTCHAOS brilliantly summarized it with this post. So for now I'll just say that I agree 100% with this post.

Greek Chat is not rude. Snarky, yes. Rude, nope. You want rude, go check out some of the message boards with Moms of small children-- those are some rude people. Most of the time here, it's because someone disagrees with what is written- not just being rude for the sake of being rude.

And OldU, I actually like most of the threads that you post. It seems to me that you are an admirer of the gentleman that you wrote about in one of your previous posts, the guy that would compare and rank all of the GLOs and then send out those reports. And most of your posts are in the same vein- you are comparing the historically white GLOs based on criterea that you feel is meaningful. But just because it is meaningful to you, doesn't mean it is for everyone. So no one was being rude, just stating that they didn't find it meaningful or didn't think the exclusion of other GLOs was appropriate.
