First off, my sincere apologies to UCFPhiDelt, to all of the members of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, and to all GLO members everywhere. It was TOTALLY insensitive of me to in ANY WAY cast aspersions upon the sexuality of any GLO member, for such a thing could NEVER happen, especially not with members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and I am truly remorseful and sorry to have upset UCFPhiDelt in any way. Since I PERSONALLY have not slept with any member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity as of yet, I will certainly keep my opinion of their sexuality to myself. I will now only make and respond to posts that portray Greeks in a totally positive light, and will NEVER, EVER, again say anything that could even be slightly construed as disrepectful or negative to Greeks.

To close, I leave you with the immortal words of Rodney King, after the verdict that sparked the 1992 L.A. riots, "...Why can't we all just get along?" Such wisdom...he must be a Greek!
You know, maybe this is just me but I don't think the sarcasm was really neccessary here. UCFPhiDelt did not get sarcastic with you...he just said that he didn't appreciate your post. Which, I believe, he is allowed to do. As it's been said, not everyone is going to agree and people are entitled to their feelings and opinions. Honestly I know I wouldn't appreciate if people were spreading rumors about my sisters... But that's not my point here.

I find it ironic that you ended your post with the "Why can't we all just get along" quote when your whole post was aimed at pissing someone off. In his original post UCFPhidelt stated that if he was overreacting, just ignore him. So if you thought he was overreacting, you could have made the decision to not post a blatantly sarcastic response that could incite more controversy.

And to further add my 2 cents to the thread....it's not a matter of not being able to laugh at yourself. I think everyone on here can take a joke. It's just knowing when and where to say things and perhaps publically insulting someone else's organization (whether in seriousness or in jest) is not the wisest choice. Just a thought...
