You know, those were actually for emphasis - although after re-reading it, it does come off like the in-person, finger air-quote mockery. tld221 did a much better job of summing up what I intended to get across in the last section of her reply.
This is part of the problem (which I admit, I may have mistakely encouraged with the quotes):

I think that folks are way too busy being pressed and seeking validation for their process (and that goes for plenty in NPHC orgs too, but I digress . . .)
Anyhoo, DSPi: I didn't ask if you actually owned or did any of those things. My question was "Where are you placing your emphasis?" You are frustrated that others are focusing NPHC similarities instead of the fraternity's purpose - but if you are putting all of your energy into defending para and a process, then you seem to be serving as your own distraction.
