I never said that I had any problems not seeing this.

I wanted to clear up that I was not forming an opinion on an organization just because of one persons comments.

[quote=Miss{BooperDoo};1426326] I've never threatened anyone on this site, and don't much care WHAT organization you belong to.Not saying there was an insinuation that there would be bad mouthing going on here, but I would like to address the issue

Alphagamuga, correct me if I'm wrong but you were acknowledging that I personally had no intention of bad mouthing someone's greek affiliation because of that person, you were addressing that people who come and read this thread might form opinions of someone based on what they typed and tied that opinion with the letters in their name and formed a sterotype for all the people in that organization because of one measly comment in a forum.

I was having issues with the way someone reacted to my question, and it would often be better if there was a way to blind people to the greek letters in your name so they didnt assume it was a representation of that organization. Hope that makes sense...

Ok this is me saying, yes I get what your saying. I had a problem with THE PERSON who posted those things, not whatever orgaization they were affiliated with. I never once said anything about "you greeks" or "you XYZ's" Did I? I simply said wouldn't it be nice for those who have that simplemindedness to form instant opinions on a whole group of people based on one persons comments, to not be able to see the greek letters in someones name, so there wouldn't be that confusion.

Not sure where you formed this from. Please explain as I would like to understand.
