Too old to join a Sorority?

Irish is right on target with her last statement.

Which is why a referral to other groups is more of a productive statement than righting her off as having her priorities out of wack.

*sigh* You girls are sad.

Obviously not kicking ass in English.

As it has been said before, non-NPCs should not be the back-up when someone can't join a NPC organization.

A 30 year old lady should worry more about completing her degree instead of wondering whether she should join a group of 18-21 year olds. That ship has sailed.

So irishpipes is correct in saying you're a sockpuppet?

Nice!

Most people won't admit to it

Actually, I find that most of the "girls" who replied to you are happy, well-adjusted, intelligent women.

What I find sad is a person posting here for the first time, attacking people who were simply responding to someone asking for their thoughts on her situation as posted.

Why are you so angry? It's odd that a person jumps into a message board with such vehemence. Were you somehow slighted in the past? Were you in a similar situation as these women? Are you a sockpuppet to one of the "older women" looking to join a sorority?

I always find it interesting when someone new personally attacks established members of a message board. (It's not saying that a newbie cannot join a conversation or become a valued member of a community, but your behavior raises flags). Without "knowing" or at least being familiar with a person's posts, posting style, personality, it seems very strange to make character or intelligence judgment without seeming like a whiny 10 year old.

I suggest you learn to control your impulses. Read, re-read, and digest what is being said and try to understand the intent of the posters instead of making snap judgments and personal attacks. Being able to control yourself is a sign of maturity and civility. If you lack either, then find another sandbox to play in.
