Listen, Tom, I think that the other site, which I also post on, has its own niche in internet-greek-life. However, after this response I feel compelled to co-sign with dukemama as a fellow poster on both sites. I think that the other site could be a lot more successful if your replies to attacks were done with respect and didn't demonstrate the opposite of what the other site purports to stand for. Also, if someone won't let up on attacking me, yes I would start to ignore it. You don't have to reply to every attack. It is like if someone picks on you in grade school... ignoring the behavior is the only response that won't actually fuel the fire.

I'm sure there are some people looking at this post and thinking "Who the hell is she! She doesn't know what any of this is about." You're right, I don't know everything of what has happened (although I'm pretty darn sure I get the gist), but I do know that when things get out of control like this at some point one side has to be the better person and let some things go. Sure people will still talk smack, but that is life. I think that while both the members and founders of the other site should still feel free to post here, every time I see something like Tom's unnecessary typo-attack on AF or what happened on this thread, it makes me not that excited to see what is going on at the other site. I can't help but wonder how many newbies who might like the other site view posts from its founders like in this thread and write the other site off because it doesn't seem like the people there live what they preach.

Like dukemama said, two wrongs don't make a right. I'm reminded of the celebrity apprentice episode last night (if anyone else watched it) with Omarosa crossing a line by calling one of the celebrities a horrible father. Sure, she was prevoked, but provocation doesn't entitle you to say or do whatever you want without people thinking less of your character. I have no doubt that the HPRL addition into the GC Dictionary was a provocation, Tom, but it was up to you (and someone else) to decide whether to fuel it. Not only did you unnecessarily respond, your response itself reflected badly on the reputation of the other site.

Thank you to you and dukemamma!

Maybe the same should be same for some on G C with their hatred and posts.

I am sorry, but I only respond in kind!

I refuse to be attacked.

Can I ask a question...not that I really care with what's going on across sites but...I thought I just had to throw this at you...

If GC is so full of 'hatred' and people spouting "vile untruths" in your direction ...and you continously post here as opposed to where ever it is in cyberspace you are posting now (presumably in a 'happier place than GC')....then wouldn't that somewhere along the line make you a masochist?

This isn't DisneyWorld ya know....

"Hey yall.....guess what 'they' is saying about us at that GC place...."

"Uh huh....fa real tho?"

No not any kind of world is it?

G F was started for many reasons!

Okay BlueAngle was banned many times and when I was a Mod, I did not uderstand! Things were said about what she did, and what is funny, I never saw them.

I called on many about it and got no answer.

So, as a backer of her and not some of the crap she was getting, she asked me what I would think about a new GreekSite. Well, with what GC has turned into, I said YES!

She has put together a great site and it seems to scare some.

She and I talked about this site a lot before it was put up and came to a conclusion!

It would be more Moderated by the ADM. It would not allow the type of snarkiness of GC.

It would be more helpful for Greeks no matter what.

We decided that and that is what is professed and now, we get kicked in the teeth for being nice.

What is wrong with that?

I am reviled as a Racisit and a bigot and that is BS!

No body wants to listen about how it was taken out of context but, it still is brought up over and over.

G F was set up as I said as a site to be more helpful to Greeks.

Remember, that was what G C was set up for!

It is not the site, it is the people on it!

True?

So, get on GF and take a look!!

Are we Happy Poney, no, we try to work with Greeks!

It is your choice!

ETA....oops...I am sorry...I forgot to say

1. After that Muslim rant you left next door...you are a racist at the very least a xenophobe

2. If you want to respond to me, do it here...I don't like dudes whispering in my ear. I don't get down like that.

Is this a typo? Should it be "revealed"?

So, I know I'm about 10,000 years behind. But, I HAVE GOT TO SEE THE HRPL SITE CREATED BY EARP.

Anyone game to giving me the URL?

#10 02-16-2008, 06:48 PM

Wow. I can't believe I missed out on the developments in this thread.

I damn sure don't. Not even the gist. I have no idea what that other site is, either.

But I'm also not getting super involved and typing long posts.

I just pick on some of Tom Earp's incoherent posts and that's as deep as it gets to me.

Good for you. I personally don't think my post was all that long or "super involved" (I addressed only the people that personally PMed me to try their site in hope that they might realize that their recent posts had a tendency to turn people off to it).

I honestly don't understand your previous post, then.

How about I'll make this offer to anyone out there involved in the original madness: If any of the original players in this is offended in any way by anything I said, PM me and I will immediately delete all my posts from this thread.

I actually didn't understand your original post.

Now that I've read other posts, I get it.
