I don't know--I started posting on TWOP when I was just barely 16 (over 7 years ago!
) and have never been dressed down by any posters there--and I've held some pretty unpopular opinions. I think GC is much more "grouped" than TWOP ("old guard" focused) where a certain group of posters are assumed to have greater authority or a greater sense of Greek life or even GC-specific mores. I don't think this is an uncommon issue on internet fora, and I think in some ways, it may even be good in that it retains membership and forms a strong sense of loyalty among frequent posters, but I do think it can seem like dogpiling on new members, and it can make it hard if you disagree with "old guard" posters.
Also, it's saddens me that TWOP makes everything more on-topic now--I loved all the free ranging conversations about everyone's personal lives through the lens of the TV.
