PLEASE LEARN TO READ WHEN RESPONDING TO MY POSTS.

Maybe you should learn write more clearly

You said "AI's are asking for IT to be deleted.." leading me to believe that you meant, "their own threads or posts."

Quote:

AIs are asking for the board to be deleted because they're embarrassed about it - not because anyone "tortured" them!!

I would be "embarrassed" too.. had I displayed some of the behavior that some of the people displayed such as making fun of their hobbies.. linking signatures that say "aspergers awareness" to an actual photo of someone, and making parody AI threads elsewhere.

Further, I am an AI, and I'm not asking for the board to be deleted... so please be more clear. Infact, a good number of the AIs on the list here on GC have not asked for it to be deleted. It is a small, vocal community which is wanting this.

Quote:

Kind of like my comment about ZTA not AIing very often so you really don't have to worry about who AIs into your sorority.

What has that got to do with the price of bananas?

Quote:

Oh, and I'm still waiting for that list.

Look on the GC AI list, and count how many AIs have been initiated.. and are complaining compared to those who are not.

Point of fact with terminology. AI's are women who have already been initiated correct?

IT meaning the subforum. "It" is a singluar word, and would not apply to "their own threads or posts", as "threads" and "posts" are not singluar items. "AI Subforum", however is singluar, and "it" is what was being refered to as "it".

Sorry, I didn't have my crystal ball handy. I'll try to have it the next time I read her posts so I know what "IT" she is referring to!

Blueangel, you're the ONLY NPC member posting that I've seen who wants the AI forum to stay.

And before the "harassment" you refer to, Mburden/Scandia et al were asked the same questions they would be asked IRL about their desire to pursue AI. They did not have good answers- in fact, many people here posted their reasons were NOT what their organization looked for in an AI. Unless there is some NPC organization that has an AI program explicitly for people who didn't get the chance in undergrads WITH NO OTHER LINK to that organization or OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT, they were not good fits for any of the 26 NPC organizations. I think almost anyone could see that.

Yeah.. I'm the only one posting at present... and that means...?

Has it occured to you that maybe people don't want to post on this subject because every time they do, the personal attacks begin?

It is relevant because you are a vocal supporter of the AI forum because you know that most prospective AIs will not be initiated into ZTA (of course, there always are exceptions). The people who come here to sorority shop almost certainly will not become ZTAs so they are not your problem.

That's an assumption on your part. The fact that I'm a Zeta or not has nothing to do with this entire discussion. I explained in a prior post how this forum has helped me and why I believe it should stay.

And please don't use profanity.

Oh please.

Hey, now that you're responding to me, would you care to explain why you were offering information about junior league membership even though you're not a member over in chit chat?

AlphaFrog · #11 10-05-2006, 01:45 PM

Since when can we not say BAT****??

If I have edit another post regarding profanity of any sort, I will close down the thread. I warned everyone at the beginning of this topic to keep civil and keep it impersonal. It is becoming personal and vulgar and Carnation and I will not tolerate that. If you can't make you point politely and w/o vulgarity, don't post.

And while we are on the subject, it is not necessary to tell an author that their posts are being reported. This isn't preschool.

How about we just call a spade a spade and close down the forum?

I know, I know...I just thought that if it gets repeated enough, it might sink in.

valkyrie, I believe that she was a "provisional member" (i.e. pledge in sorority language) but did not become an active member (i.e. the equivalent of being "initiated" in Junior League Land).

Look at the GC AI list, and tell me how many have posted that they want the board to stay.

Silence doesn't mean implicit approval, it could just mean that they haven't logged into GC in two years.

If there are GC AIs that wish to have this board remain in its present form, I encourage them to join the debate and post their approval, because so far, we haven't heard from too many people (who regularly and actively post) who actually want this board to remain without serious changes.
