... is not true, or how I truly feel about these organizations. I have friends in both, and they are both amazing. This was made up simply to prove a point. ASAs clearly live up to great ideals and values, and obviously TPA isn't killing members will their ritual. If they were, I don't think they would exist. Sorry if anyone was confused by this...

Which, I think, is a good illustration of why people should be very careful in what they post about other orgs. Even if you're basing your statements on what happens at your campus, saying "XYZ org is _______" is usually an easy way to upset members of that org.

When in doubt, keep it out (of your post).

Yes, which I completely understand. I thought it was clear that I made it up, but oh well. Live and learn. I think it's the inordinate number of "special" people on Greekchat lately... They're throwing things off. And making me so angry I can't think straight.

It was clear to me. Some folks just get too lazy to read.

Sometimes it is hard to tell online when somebody is being tongue in cheek. I did think she was pretty clear though.

True, but her entire post provided enough context clues to figure out what was going on. Whoever PM'd her probably skimmed the post and got upset when she saw her letters.
