Hopefully they'd be more openminded
One would hope.

And perhaps they should read the entire thing to understand that its really a positive message and not a negative one as most of you seemed to take it. I understand that people can read into things and take it more personally than they need to. (Hopefully they know this is a personal experience and anything said about specific members were comments on individuals and not the entire organization. I think this is pretty apparent by now.)

I would you would understand the difference and others would as well. If you don't then perhaps you should rethink.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, anyone reading the entire story should look at the minute details as part of a much larger (more positive) message.

How about we just abandon this thread, stop replying and therefore we stop giving the OP the attention that she is obviously so richly craving!
Good Lord..I coudnt agree more!

For what it's worth, I saw it as positive.

What a sad and lonely life to make it your goal to get on a message board you're not welcome on so early on a weekend morning to defend the "honor" of an unmentioned user ID. Most normal old folks would be hanging out with their husbands, grandkids and sipping their first Geritol of the day, but not Blue Angel.

I didn't see it as a terrible thing either. I agree that someone might be slightly offended because of some less than tactful comments, but I am giving props to the OP for not continuing to point fingers or blame. I think her explanation rings genuine. Maybe not well thought out - but genuine feelings. And, in reading back over the thread, I do think she was reflecting on her own insecurities, hang ups, misinterpretations, etc. She has tried to calmly explain herself (no flounce or insults) repeatedly, has apologized and tried to explain the reasons she posted.

Whatever her reasons, I have read trolls who have acted far worse,set out to make a mockery of Greek life, planned their whole thread to make GC members angry, and accomplished it. I don't think that was the case here.

Sometimes people say and do things without thinking it all the way through...that is my opinion of the OP's faux pas with some of her more revealing details.

I do agree that Stanleypeep should quit trying to explain herself. It isn't going to get any better because the damage is done for some people and no amount of explanation is going to change minds.

Oh my goodness. I'm fairly new on this board and even I'm sick and tired of seeing your various incarnations. This thread was interesting until you showed up. Now it's just tedious and annoying. Please just sever your ties and move on with your life.

BTW, I'm adding this to the trainwreck thread.

I thought at first you said "please sever your ties with life." Which of course wouldn't be a bad idea.
