Conduct is also what the rest of us are reacting to. You simply have a different interpretation of the conduct than we do.

They are also dead because of a sexual orientation question on their "application." There's nothing premature about conclusions based on that.

And why is it okay to presume that they are dead on hazing allegations that are still allegations but it is premature to make statements regarding anything else?

No and this is not about "entire fraternities."

This is also not a courtroom.

His status was that of droppee. We already stated that we do not know why he was up there. He doesn't have to be up there because of his sexual orientation for his mistreatment to be because of his sexual orientation.

No.

Or I see the bad moon rising. That much really doesn't matter. We do know the hazing allegations and the claim that there is a sexual orientation question on the "application." He could've been greeted with a badge of honor at the probate show and the rest of the allegations wouldn't go away.
