Move around a little...I promise I won't miss you.




Hence the responses. Some of the ZTAs acted butthurt over the differing opinions and here we are.

I quit you.

Even fewer people are going to remember ZTZ as a sorority since you yourself said you are a co-ed org. That fact itself distances your org quite a bit from ZAZ in the movie. - You would be surprised how little some NPCers know about the other 25 GLOs they are not a member of. At my campus it was not uncommon for the GLOs to not know more than the other's nicknames and maybe colors. Just because ZTA is "national" does not neccesarily mean it is more readily known that other non-national orgs.

That's not what I said. They can feel however they want. I said they shouldn't be offended, which is my opinion. I did not say they have no right be offended, which would have been an infringement on their personal liberties. Although now we're just getting into technicalities.

Exactly.

Which is it - they can feel offended, or not? Feeling offended is just that - a feeling. Saying they shouldn't be offended is indeed telling them how to feel. And it's only a tecnicality because you are trying to parse this a particular way. So if you don't wish to infringe on their personal liberties, don't tell them how to feel, or that their feelings are not justified. Disagree with the premise all you want - share that you personally do not feel offended. But don't try to dictate the appropriate response for others.
