Is hazing the best way?

The OP shouldn't be on GC typing to nonmembers if he only wants responses that cater to his organization.

What he asked for doesn't conveniently go away just because I'm applying my organizational experiences differently than the OP intended.

Of course it can be said of most of the threads and posts here. That's beside the point. The point I'm making is that it serves no purpose to apply the standards or practices of our own organization to someone else unless that other person's org shares those standards or policies.

I just see no reason for criticizing the guy just because a member of your org wouldn't or shouldn't ask a similar question.

And, for the sake of redundancy, I do see something wrong with it.

Obviously. And for equal redundancy, I see nothing with the question, but I do see something wrong with holding a poster to the standards of an organization of which he's not a member.

Because I know how much you love the phrase, we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
