I probably wouldn't have said high school mentality either, but sometimes things become uncivil, and I'm not sure that GreekChat needs to be that way in the advice threads.
I'm not sure that we should allow ourselves to get dragged into negative back and forth with PNMs who don't want to take advice. (I'm sure I'm as guilty as anybody.)
I know that in a lot of the unpleasant recruitment threads, the original OP wants to argue with the advice she's getting, and that's going to be counterproductive for everyone, and a little infuriating when they act like they know more about greek life or college that you do. But sometimes, we just kind of go off on them when they're really not giving a lot of attitude but you can tell they're engaging in wishful thinking about their own circumstances.
We can't fix that, and I think, we run the risk of leaving a bad taste in their mouths about our GLOs if we're some of the GC users with that info. in our usernames. I'm not saying that it should be "Happy Pony Rainbow Land," was it, AChiOhSnap? But we should probably keep in mind that they're completely anonymous, but that some of us are unofficially representing our orgs.
Again, I know I'm not any better about this than anyone else, and I'm not suggesting that we lie to them. But we should make a point of not returning the attitude in kind, I think.
