I don't really think people are trying to help.

I think people are expressing their opinions and asking questions to suit their own "curiosity." Helping would require less of an audience and involve things like PMing the person if people cared so much. Maybe the poster has already received PMs.

Well I will speak for myself. My first post to RozRochelle was what I thought was a validation of her need to form her sorority. And to let her know that the things she mentioned were been discussed in the NPHC.

The initial posts to her were helpful in that they gave her something to think about even if she didn't respond. After the initial posts, I don't blame her for not being that receptive or responsive. It can appear that she's being approached from all angles and she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

She did respond to my post and there is where the defensiveness crept in.

Well, thank you Jesus! That is EXACTLY how I feel. Maybe they'll receive this from you since you're a GC old-timer and have their respect.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yet you blasted her in earlier posts. Get the point now? Not everyone is out to get you.

C'mon now, fair is fair. She blasted me some good ones, too.

I never said that. But, some of y'all haven't given me a fair chance from the jump. And, yes, I have felt targeted. So, please excuse me for not yet fully believing what you just said. I hope to feel differently in time.

You are targeted because you made yourself a target. When people do that, they have to understand that comments will come at them however people send them.
