Ummmmm, no. Given that there are thousands of threads here, I wouldn't be surprised you found "several" where the the conversation stays organization specific. I wouldn't be surprised if you found hundreds. I said pretty clearly that such conversations happen here. Doesn't change the overall dynamic I described. At all.

I don't accept explanations like, 'everyone's doing it,' 'that's how it's done here,' 'that's the dynamic of this site,' etc.

So you normally come into places where you're new and start telling everyone how they're doing it all wrong? I bet that goes over everywhere else about as well as it does here.

I get what you're saying, but I've heard all those in defense to stuff like hazing too. It doesn't make it the right answer.

Huh??? How conversations typically happen on a website is comparable to hazing?? That's just stupid.

And, point of information. Even now no one has challenged my premise that west coast greek systems suck. I have only been cited specific exceptions and told not to make broad statements. No one has actually attempted to defend west coast greek systems versus other regions.

They have, by saying "speak for you you org only." Yes, we all know that you've made clear since you were speaking for your org only. But you've also continued to say everyone else is way off base for ever possibly thinking otherwise because . . . duh . . . this thread is in the ATO forum, and if the usual way of doing things here makes that somewhat irrelevant, well obviously we're all doing it wrong and you're here to teach us better. Do you really still not get that the issue people have been having with what you've posted?

Well, then here's one more:



Seriously, disagree with us if you want to, but stop wasting your time (and busting your credibility) by attempting to school us on how we're all doing it wrong. (And please stop the stupid that comes from bringing in a hazing comparison.) From posts in other threads, it's clear to me that you've got a lot to contribute to discussions here. But right now, you're just coming off as the noob with a serious attitude.
