Why all of this anger?

[Sciencewoman]

^^^ Sciencewoman loves a chemistry lesson! Thanks for additional info.! Even if I was being "ironical" in my request, I very much appreciate the scientific explanation behind what went wrong with those dishwasher pellets.

I'm getting a cold sore which is making me angry. I haven't had one in almost five years.

This has been a very informational thread so far. I'd never washed pots or pans in the dishwasher before, but had been debating it since the apartment dishwasher has a setting for pots and pans.

oh dear.

I love this website, I just don't love some of the mean spiritedness

If they can't take a little ribbing on some online forums, how are they ever gonna deal with all the pressures of Greek life?

GC people get ticked when a newbie starts asking questions without reading ANY of the threads or even doing a search.
Many, many of the answers can be learned just by keeping your mouth shut and reading, reading, reading FIRST.
It gets old answering those same questions over and over and over and over.
If you're too busy to read, we're too busy to answer you seriously.


Not, however, too busy to toss you around like a cat playing with its prey!

I apparently am one of the "mean, snippy, angry" people because I responded like this:

Actually, a truly "mean, snippy, angry" response would be more along the lines of:

If you are even THINKING about asking such things, you are obviously a shallow, immature idiot who doesn't know what Greek life is about. You would be lucky if ANY sorority ANYWHERE gave you a bid. Do everyone a favor and don't bother rushing because you are doing it for the wrong reason.

But NO ONE said that to you, because I don't think anyone believes that. People are trying to help you before you fall on your face in real life, with real sorority members, at your real school.

Seriously, this is a message board. No one is going to fly to your side, hold your hand, and say "well honey, I don't know if you know this but...sometimes this and that...etc etc etc" and take 500 words to say something that should have been said in five.

Didn't we just have one of these threads that tell us how mean we are? I didnt think we'd be due for another one for at least two months. Maybe we are getting meaner.

I just re-read the assignment of Meanie Brigade titles in the WDIFLSRN? thread. THAT was comedy.
