Seriously, you jumped on BR for being an OMGMEANIE and she pwned you when it turned out she knew what she was talking about. So stop retreating behind the "bad example" standard and take your lumps.

Or go have a pity party with carnation about what things are coming to these days and how we're destroying PNMs lives. Whichever one makes you more likely to stop your whinging*


*real word, before Titchou tries to grammar check me.

Her reasoning for clawing the eyes out of the OP was that posters/PNMs like that make Greek life look bad. I honestly believe sorority women being rude to PNMs, especially when there isn't prior provocation (hey, everyone has a limit), is a much more legit concern. Standing by my response, no pity party needed.

Nope, she was telling the girl to stop blaming others for her problems. That's quite logical. You, on the other hand, are trying to moderate BR's behavior on behalf of sorority women everywhere. That's quite stupid.

This PNM does fit the mold of "I want to be in a sorority but can't OMG THEY'RE MEAN AND DID MEAN THINGS TO ME SORORITY WOMEN SUCK." Even if she hasn't gotten to the caps lock stage yet. If she's made up her mind, I'm hardly going to try to change it back by saying "oh so sorry your campus sorority women are meanies."

I am referring to this, "Twice this girl has come here to blame sororities for her inability to get a bid. First it was a "terrible rumor" and now she's "black listed." I am sick of people coming here and telling tales that perpetuate stereotypes like this."

I'm trying to do nothing, just pointing out if she's that worried about stereotypes being rude isn't going to help things. And your attempt at moderating me isn't going to help. I stand by what I said, fail to see what the big deal is, done. I'm confident Barbie isn't crying herself to sleep over my post.

Seriously?

Allow me to make this clear: You can do what you like, I'm calling you stupid for doing it. Telling an individual that s/he is stupid is not the same thing as trying to the "making us look bad" pablum you're trying to get us to swallow.

Trying to flip my word usage around on me when they're two different things just highlights the stupidity. As does conflating the concept of "calling you out" with it being a "big deal."

Ok allow me to make this clear:

Barbie complained that certain PNMs perpetuate negative stereotypes about Greek life. Barbie was very rude to this particular PNM. I pointed out that if she is worried about PNMs perpetuating negative stereotypes, responding to them in a rude manner will only feed the negativity.

I don't care what you or anyone else swallows, but I posted what I think.
