First, to our new AEPhi, again huge congratulations and much happiness to you and your sisters.

My lens was "risk" oriented. I always welcome and enjoy conversation and spirited debate, especially from those whose viewpoints differ from mine. It's been interesting to read what everyone thinks and realize that there probably is no "right" answer. @AlphaFrog, I like the "first date" approach/question and can see how it applies to this situation. @Alumiyum, I don't know that I agree that it's "horrible" to think about the founders, but I can see where context is critical and in this context, it simply doesn't work. Thanks for helping me see that. I really do appreciate it and it's given me something to think over.

In many cases the "what would your founders think" question is used rather condescendingly with an intent to shame the actives (or you know, GC posters.) Particularly when it's coming from an outsider the question just rubs the wrong way. Our founders created our GLOs and are a big influence on us in that way, but they aren't perfect examples of how we should act/think/feel and they quite obviously came from a different time.

That's why the question is reacted to in that way in this context and nearly every other one.

This^. Sorry AzTheta, this is what I was getting at, I just didn't explain it as well.
