Seriously, peeps. No one REALLY cares about your stupid rush story.

Oh, for heaven's sake. I agree with Anchor Alum and violetpretty. If you don't like them, don't read them. There are bigger problems in the world - and if you don't have anything more pressing to worry about, I envy you!

I'm amazing, I know. Thanks.

ETA to everyone in general: GC is so fucking anal retentive lately. I remember when the H&A, Rudey, Cashmoney, etc. used to post. You might not have agreed with them. You could even start a whole thread about how you disliked them. But, you weren't so fucking uptight that you suggested everyone hold hands and sing songs about rainbows, ponies, and getting along. Hell, dealing with Earp was even better than dealing with the dumbasses that have joined in the past year or two.

The thread was started to deal with an issue I (and others) find to be important. The stories are getting more and more "out there" and fake. People are posting shit from 20 years ago that they can barely remember. And, like KD said, if it's people who are regular, known members it is one thing. But, people are crawling out of the woodwork to post stories that are ridiculously long who have really no connection to GC.

And, I would like to take this opportunity to educate those who seem to be new to GC... This is place where you are free to talk about anything. And, if you do, I am allowed to laugh at it, parody it, or just bitch about it. Like y'all have mentioned -- if you don't like it, ignore it. You're no better than I am for coming in and adding your two cents.

Honestly, have some class. You're embarrassing.

Ouch. Really? I am so hurt.

Fuck off. (And, I mean that in the sweetest, most ladylike way.)

You know, Tippie, I enjoy your shenanigans as much as anyone these days, seriously, but you do make the who gets banned and who doesn't policies really perplexing.

Why do you think you get away with this stuff?

ETA: Seriously, I'm not saying you SHOULD be banned; I'm just interested in how you keep doing it with impunity when others have fallen. What do you think? What's the TC magic?

Could be because John has stated previously that FUCK is not a banned word on this site. And, I ask you what "stuff" you are referring to? Telling someone to "fuck off?" Starting threads that don't just go over smoothly? What EXACTLY is it you don't like?

Oh, it's not that I don't like it. It's pretty entertaining really.

I would characterize it as the kind of insulting provocation that seemed to get Rudy banned.

Do you suppose there's an entertainment to insult ratio that John considers, and Rudy just feel short on the entertainment?

Really? I see it as low train-wreck lately, but I haven't seen a lot of rainbow preaching either.

What threads are you reading?

I will admit that I'm of the if-you-don't-like-it-don't-read-it mindset and I think I always have been. If that make me Kitchen GC, that's cool. I wasn't on here when GC was cool, so I don't miss it.

It's the general attitude of new members who think that GC is here for everyone to be nice. I have seen several comments from newer members.

Maybe it's just me, but GC has always been like that ("anal retentive" or however you want to put it). The only time when I remember GC not being like that is when I first joined back in 2001, and that was mostly because there were so few people (comparatively) on site.

As the site got bigger, there were more interesting conversations and threads, but it also gave way to more drama and more of the "let's all just get along and hold hands" stuff that you're talking about. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like all that new of an issue.

I don't care about all getting along in the sense of actually agreeing, and I'm as guilty of being a jerk in the political threads as anyone (maybe in other threads as well).

But I have always questioned completely going off on people in the recruitment sections where I feel like there's a legitimate reason to consciously think about making Greek life look bad. It's the one area about which people, I think, have an acceptable reason to be completely clueless.

I know I've flipped out on people too and that some people get under your skin and are doing it deliberately. But I'm not sure that asking for politeness in some areas is a bad thing.

Seriously, no one cares that you don't care about retro rush threads.

"Wanna hear my rush story?" > The sounds of tiny violins against your bitching and moaning. you definitely are that bitch.

And I want you to come at me with something better than GC Kitchen. Its up there with "I know you are but what am I."

Very strange and random post here. Axe to grind much?

Tippie, that's not a "newer member." That's Earp. Again.
