The Golden Rule

[als463]

I have to admit, I can't believe this thread has gone on for so long....wow.

shirley, I have something to add. You talked about how someone (I'm assuming from Texas or who has a chapter of their organization at Texas) was able to pick this young woman out in the crowd during recruitment. Here's my question: Doesn't that concern you on the part of the mother's lack of discretion, in the least? I have no clue who you are talking about or what really happened---you aren't telling us everything---but, if a PNM is that discernable from the rest of the crowd (UT has TONS of PNMs going through), then that's a problem.

Sure, there are crazy people who lurk, sock-puppet, troll, etc. The truth is that you never know who is on here. As Drolefille stated earlier, many of us have people from our Inter/National headquarters on here (though they may not post). I'm sorry to hear about that young woman's recruitment not working out for her but, maybe you should be pointing the finger at mom who gave away so much information that she was easy to spot. If anything, that is a potentially dangerous situation that you are giving up so much information about your child or loved one that strangers on a website can pick them out of a line-up.

So, stop yelling at those of us on GC that don't go looking to ruin someone's recruitment. Instead, start looking at the poor behavior of some of the parents who feel the need to disclose so many details about their child on an internet forum.

I stumbled upon this thread last night and discovered that I was indeed summoned.

Oh yes, this is true. I have to thank you, DF, MC, and KS (even though he didn't really say much) for adding to this thread. I also like that Alpha Frog shared.

Stop using us for your amusement!

I am hurt that I wasn't included. I think that it is important for people to know that Orange Julius is still around. "Go Orange Julius!"

Oh my...How could I forget aopirose? Shout out to my girl aopirose! She knows her stuff!!!

shirley, you asked whether or not the girl deserved whatever happened. I'm not saying she deserved it. I'm saying that instead of getting mad at whoever you think on GC went out of their way to ruin it for this girl--you should be pointing the finger at heli-mom who wants to divulge EVERY detail of her daughter's recruitment to the point that people could pick her out of a crowd or throughout recruitment/ rush. If anything, I blame the mother.

Also, if you are going to make blanket statements that "WE" scared her and others away or that "WE" were the ones to do this to her, have the decency to call people out and not make it seem like it is everyone of "US" who did it. I didn't do a thing. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop pointing fingers at us (which incorporates me until you decide to call out whoever it was).

Once again...it's called RESPONSIBILITY...People (Wary) needs to take RESPONSIBILITY that her actions may have caused an adverse effect for her daughter. It sucks but, it's reality.

So, seeing as this is a message board, I could just tell you I'm an XYZ from WTF U. and suddenly that makes me legit? I'm not a perp, I just have chosen not to tell you my affiliation. It's a message board, anyone here could tell you they are a member of a GLO and you pretty much have to take it at face value. There's no cyber handshake to slip someone.

I get it, I said the Mom had a lapse in judgement as well (about 5 times here)

And we've established several times that WE don't know who the person(s) is that did it to her, so how could I have better called them out? Please tell me, because I honestly don't know. There's a decent chance that the person who did it is a regular GC poster, so by starting a new thread I hoped to grab their attention.

I'm not pointing a finger at you if you're not involved. If you take everything you read on the internet personally that refers to "you", well then that's your own issue.

The horse is dead. Feel free to stop beating it at any time...

Yeah I'm starting to think you really aren't a member because I know how to verify someone's authenticity in my org. Funny how that works.

No you didn't, you made a thread to tell all of us to be nicer because we're SO MEAN TO THE NOOBS the ones who PM YOU and cry about the meanies. Old thread, been done.

Stop lying about what you did and why it's ~*~unbecoming~*~ and really pathetic.

Pot meet Kettle. You really don't appear to be that intelligent. I've gathered that. In one sentence you are telling me that I shouldn't take everything on the internet personally but, you complain and whine that new people feel uncomfortable writing on here and they get scared away. Do you realize you are a complete hypocrite? I don't recall you ONCE saying that the mother is responsible so, please stop playing like you agreed on that.

I'm thinking that YOU (I'm calling YOU out, now) are actually Wary in disguise. Maybe YOU are a sock puppet trying to stick up for Wary. It sure seems that way. You have so much vested interest in someone you claim to not really know. Listen Wary (because I am no longer going to refer to you as shirley), go away. You screwed up and now you want to blame the poor results of recruitment on us. I also doubt you went to college and joined a sorority or, like Drolefille pointed out, you would tell us where you went and what GLO you belong to. Otherwise, you are just looking even more like a sock puppet.

Wary (shirley) = fail.
Everyone else = pass.

Well said. The psycho troll who did this was cruel, but they needed help to find their victim. Don't feed the troll.
