I mean, seriously, was that supposed to be a threat?

ok, I looked at your old posts, and I'm going to spell this out for you because you don't seem to get it.

You got upset that your thread about pledges wearing letters got "heated" and that people were saying you were wrong, and that it was just a tradition that people should accept.

Then you turn around and label things that you aren't familiar with (like eating clubs) as "weird" and when it's pointed out that maybe isn't the nicest word to use, you got all "it's my opinion, quit attacking me!"

You want others to accept your org/chapter's quirks or policies, but you come across as very unaccepting when it comes to other groups' similar quirks or policies.

Hence the antipathy toward you. You can't have it both ways.

No I don't know you IRL, and I think that's just fine by me.

I have made some innocent comments that people took too seriously and then the whole thread got blown way out of proprortion, as often happens on GC - that is what I mean by drama finding me (online anyway).

Your comments may have started out innocent, but you're like a freaking dog with a nasty ol' rope toy. You Won't Let Go. Post after post ad nauseum of the same crap. "Whine whine, everybody's so mean."

GC has been around 8 years and many posters have zero tolerance for excessive stupid. A lot of people *tried* to be helpful when you first started posting, but instead of learning from their helpfulness, you kept making asinine comments and then crying "Meanie" when you get called out on the stupid. You're not the first to do so, and you won't be the last, but that's exactly why people have so little tolerance for it.

Oh! Oh! Me Me!

And, like I've pointed out several times, NO ONE HAS REALLY SNARKED YOU PERSONALLY. You want a snarkfest? Check out some of the action that TippieChick and I have had on occasion. And you know what? I still like her.

But I'm about to break the rule, or at least to offer you a mirror.

I have a great deal of respect for ZTA, for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, much of what you've posted -- including sweeping generalizations that "not many" people can say "they genuinely live by their org's mottos on GC" -- does not seem to match the very admirable motto you've placed in your sig.

It is my opinion that I am seeking the noblest by standing up to people that are wrong. I have not used profanity in doing it and I have tried not to put people down who ask innocent questions and have given people the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. Perhaps what I said was a generaliztion so I will rephrase: I have encountered a lot of people on here that I don't think are living up to their org's ideals as they are expected to do. Thankfully, I have also encountered some really genuine and nice people on here which is what keeps me on GC. I appreciate the lesson though, seriously.

Unless you're in that org, that's not your business. If I have a sister here that I don't think is living up to ASA ideals, I'll deal with it myself, and I would expect everyone else to do the same. If you're going to call someone out who's not a ZTA, call them out personally, not because of their org.

Also, I'm still waiting for you to point out where exactly you were actually SNARKED. Corrected, yes, debated with, yes, told to STFU, yes...but none of this is actual snark.

I will agree to disagree with you about some GCers attacking me personally. I'm not one for searching old threads to check out the drama - so I'll take your word for it. No one here has to like me, just as I don't have to like everyone I encounter. All I've asked from the beginning is that people treat each other with respect and dignity - and I don't think I'm asking for much. It's sad that I have found it hard to find among the Greeks on GC.

I will say that I genuinely appreciate some of the comments made today and I have taken some of what people have said to head (not to heart, I don't take it personally anymore). I will simply say, good game and bow out. On to bigger and better conversations on GC!

10 to 1 you'll be back within the day.

That is *your* opinion. And, unless you have experienced the entire ritual of all the NPC, NIC, NPHC and other Fraternal organizations, you can't back a comment like that.

Benzgirl · #69 10-24-2007, 12:58 PM

I completely forgot what this thread was about

Oooh you're witty. It bothers me when people are careless, not intentionally stupid. Thinking it's a slam of some sort is inherently sad. You've officially hit the 2nd grade level of attempting to be mean: Rhyming someone's name.

you're always quick to correct someone's grammar and spelling on this board, as are others.

Only when it's glaring. I misspell too, but I at least try to check my work.

Seems silly to me, unless it's so wrong that it makes the post incomprehensible... then I can see the justification in alerting a poster to their spell check feature...

So when you do it, it's ok. But when I (or "others") do it it's SNARKY *evil face*

Quote:

And I've grown to like "HPRL," also known as Greek Friends. That's where I go when I want to have the big girl conversations, I only come to GC now to play

And you care enough about my posts that you have to go search me out in another forum... kinda pathetic if you ask me

Lol, I have no idea what you've posted over there, if you have. My big girl conversations don't involved telling everyone how Wonderful and AWESOME their posts were, nor encouraging AI for everyone interested. I also avoid consorting with people who publish other people's private IRL info on message boards. Oh wait, it's probably not wrong because your new buddies did it.

Any way, you may call me pathetic, but you keep coming back, and PMing me I might add. One might think you were starting to like this place.

LMAO at all the other posts, I like how HRPL is somehow "hers" now. And how does one brush aside MysticCat

Luckily my sorority's motto isn't "Be excessively nice to people who whine a lot"

^^^ Why aren't there any 1s on that cake? What do you have against 1s? I smell a conspiracy. A chocolate-covered oneless conspiracy.

The ones and sixes had another engagement...

SthrnZeta, when your new hero stalks you enough to make you go to the police maybe you'll have a different opinion of HPRL. I've seen those discussions-they're not discussions or debates, it's posters saying the same stupid thing over and over. But you would rather have people just agree with you rather than debate, which is cool. But in the words of the most infamous batshit poster ever: Let. It. Go.
