Unusual sighting- etiquette of it?

Fantastic isn't condescending. She just doesn't want to look like an ass and go to jail.

Actually she WAS being condescending in telling ME what I realize or fail to realize. She doesn't know me so how can she make that assessment? Not to mention the fact that some of you seem to imply that I said I would do it or that I did it. Again, notice I said that I have SEEN those incidents. Never did I say it was right. Never did I say I had done it. I simply shared my experience.

And what is with all this talk about jail? These people never went to jail. The cops were never called. Besides, I find it ironic that so many talk about how this creates a poor reputation of an organization when I have seen members of certain sororities and fraternities (and I'm not only talking about NPHC either) do far worse at parties and the like. None of you are saints.

The "assessment" was undoubtedly based on your post. That is what people do here - they read your post, and respond based on that post. It doesn't require personal knowledge of the poster. I'm sorry that you feel you were misunderstood - I too thought that your posting of those incidents was a de facto endorsement. Am I correct in my interpretation of your post above - that you do NOT approve of it?

As to the "none of you are saints" - how deeply ironic it is that you are calling out a GCer because "she doesn't know me" and yet you are willing to go off on a totally unrelated non sequiter tangent and imply that "you" (meaning us) have no right to comment on actions that would reflect poorly, and perhaps be illegal, because you have seen others do actions which also reflect badly? You don't know US, do you?

The one has nothing to do with the other. This thread is specifically addressed to one incident. It is not a blanket indictment of GLOs, be they NPC, NPHC, or some other group.

When faced with the possible misappropriation of your letters, IMHO one should ask what action could be taken which would be most in keeping with the tenets of the GLO? How can you best embody the creed/symphony/principles of those letters? The letters themselves are not nearly as important as is the way they are brought to life through your actions while representing them. That holds true for all GLOs, and covers a multitude of situations.

My statement about what I have seen cannot be interpreted as an endorsement. At all. And my comment about none of u being saints still stands. You're not. No one is a sant. We all have flaws. When people make statements about being an ass and getting arrested and reflecting poorly on the org they open themselves upfor statements like that because they come off as self righteous.

While not a saint, I make very few typos. If I were to make one, I would expect some GCer to make fun of me.

As to whether we are saints or not, you don't know us, so by your own prior statement you are not in a position to make a judgment about us. Again, whether or not we are perfect has no bearing on what we are posting about here. Glass houses and all . . . if you had to be perfect to have an opinion this would be a dead network.

Oh - and if I'm going to post a really snarky statement about everyone here, I'm going to run spell check so I don't look like an idiot.

Smilie time!

To get us back on topic - what is your opinion of the incidents you witnessed? Were the people justified?

Exactly what I was trying to say.
