Wait...YOU are derailing this thread and now trying to look innocent again? I know you're going to report this post and I don't really care so I'm going to ask you what I ask Earp all the time. What is wrong with you? Seriously, go take out your internet aggressions at Judo, or go take up a striking art and break some wood or something.

If you don't like what someone says to you, put them on ignore. IGNORE. IGNORE. And when you find you have too many people on ignore, it's time to take a step back and breathe.

If you recall, it was Daisy's post that derailed the thread by making a personal attack about getting a hobby, but that is the standard method of operation of your group. If you're cornered in a discussion, you start launching personal attacks and then blame the person you attacked for starting it. http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...=81136&page=41

If you don't like my posts, you're certainly welcome to follow your own advice and ignore mine.

And.. just a point... we don't break wood in judo.

Now, let's return to the discussion at hand without this nonsense, shall we?

That's why I told you to go take up a striking art

I know you don't, but you should. Trust me, axe-kicking through 5 inches of pine does wonders for the soul.

Look, I'm going to try and put this nicely. Not everything everyone says is a personal attack. The rest of us, for instance, can just brush off being told to get a hobby. If it bothers you so much, ignore the user, ignore the comment and stick to the topic at hand. Ever heard the expression, 'please don't feed the trolls?'

I am now going to back off from this thread until I read something that I know I can reply to in a productive manner.

I'm quite disturbed that you are telling me that you think it's acceptable to imply someone doesn't have a life and to "get a hobby." BTW-- you know I DO have a hobby.. judo.. and several more.. but that aside.. I'd like to get back on topic and hear what you have to say about my previous post (which I reposted for KPrincess)

Blueangel what about that post was derailing that thread? I was just surprised that a sorority that has 4 or 5 collegiate chapters in a state where Greek Life isn't even a big deal wouldn't have a nearby alumnae chapter. But I can clearly see where that comes off as being a personal attack.

That post wasn't a personal attack.. the attack was suggesting I have no life and to get a hobby.

Now.. how about your thoughts on the AI Forum (back on topic) that I reposted to KPrincess?

I agree with posters who say that it should be run more like the D9 forums.

I disagree only because AI isn't like D9 intake at all.

Fair enough. And why do you think that? What do you think of Drolefille's points?

If both parties could let the dust settle, there haven't been any attacks.

ReachtheLimit: you're losing any credibility you had and fast. Heck, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but I'm not so sure anymore. It's difficult to accurately judge a system that you're not a part of in any way, shape, or form. While sororities don't always mind assisting an AI in contacting an alumna chapter, it doesn't mean they wouldn't prefer never receiving that call. I do think that if HQs want things to change, their policies should reflect that, but neither you nor I know anything about those policies.

I still think that people should be able to post questions they may have, as many are, in fact, ignorant of AI, non-collegiate sororities, and other options they may have. NPC sororities just have all the name recognition. Let people learn if they ask questions (and only post answers if you want to). I understand wanting to remove the forum (and I suggest folding the posts into Greek Life), but I think that GC should not be held responsible to HQs and that questions should be allowed.
