OK, guess I'm going to have to quote myself here:



Somehow, I don't feel like that's defending TKE.

One final time -- UNF_Pike wasn't trying to make a point. He was just running off at the mouth. The other guys at least are making an argument. No matter how flawed.

Sorry if you don't understand what I'm trying to point out -- that may be my fault, or you may be reading more into a post than I mean.

In any event, please read this carefully:

I believe that UNF_Pike deserved to be banned. I would have no problem if TKEwhomever is banned as well -- but the intent will still be different. I've warned TKE of possible slander and I've advised him to dial back the rhetoric. (I've also subtley suggested Jono back away from their exchange) The difference still is that TKE, at least, is attempting to make a point -- no matter how wrong and how badly. UNF_Pike was just acting like a jerk. If TKE isn't banned, I believe it will be for that reason alone.

One more point. I said very early on that I have never asked for anyone to be banned. I still haven't. If you want to ask me if I think TKE should be banned, PM me or something. Or, if it happens, ask my opinion afterwards. I'm not interested in trying to affect that kind of decision.

As for the moderators, this is a lose/lose situation for them -- damned if they do, damned if they don't.

By and large I think they do a good job for a group of unpaid volunteers with fairly minimal guidelines (I suspect) and only good intentions to fall back on.

Perhaps it's time to agree to disagree and go on our way.
Thanks for clarifying, but I did understand your post. What I am saying is no matter what the INTENTIONS are, if a post is offensive, it is offensive. However, it tends to matter WHO it offends, I see now.

Personally, I am offended by neither UF_Pike nor TKE---- nor UNF----- . I do not take posts on GC to heart. I read them, if they catch my attention I will respond, if I disagree I will raise questions, and so on. I just wanted to voice my opinion on this issue. Recognizing that our views differ, and probably will not waver, I will refrain from posting in this topic again.

P.S. KSig RC, couldn't have said it better myself!

Good Golly!

I don't feel compelled to pick parts of responses and respond to them because taking parts of a post without including it in it's entirety is like taking a sentence out of a book and not regarding the surrounding sentences for context.

I've done this, but only as a way to break things down when I want to address things individually. The "quote" button saves me the trouble of having to paraphrase people to whom I wish to post a response. Don't anyone worry about me taking their quotes out of context. I go out of my way to avoid doing so


dzrose, personally I don't feel like you're capable of carrying on an adult conversation RELATED TO THIS TOPIC, simply because I don't know of many adults that will take something to heart and defend and defend and defend it. Adults know when to let something go, in the manner I am doing.

If you were truly letting this go, you wouldn't have come back to this thread to post a final swing at the people you disagree with. Basically, what you are really saying seems to be "Adults know when to let something go, in the manner I am doing right after I finish letting you, you, you and you have it . By the way, I think it is very adult to stand up for your beliefs, especially when not confronted with a compelling reason to change them.


KillarneyRose, do not EVER question whether it bothered me that someone offended one of my sisters. The entire reason I started talking to UF in the first place was to give him some FACTS about my chapter and most importantly get an apology for my sister. Which he did, by the way. I will NEVER EVER explain my actions toward my sisters again, to you or anyone else who doesn't know the entire story and decides to incinuate I was acting in anything other than a supportive and loving manner to my other Phi Mus. I would think we all understand the bonds we have with our sisters and I would never THINK to question you about your actions toward one of your sisters. I do not appreciate that you chose to question me on that.

I sincerely apologize if you felt that I was incinuating (sp?) that you don't love your sister. What you do is your business and no one else's, and if you felt you handled his comments toward her correctly, then I'm not going to argue.

Above all else here, we are greek together and if no one else does, we understand what our sisters and brothers mean to us.

Amen, this is absolutely true


If anyone has a response to this, please feel free to PM me, I will not be visiting this thread any more.

In other words, you're taking all your toys and going home


PS. don't throw around that ya'll were on the exec board in college and wish people would take that into account, etc. I was on Rush Exec. and I dont think anyone in my chapter would argue that there was more of a thankless job.

I am not able to go back and check exactly what I said about my experience on Exec Board, but I am certain I never wrote anything about people taking that experience into account at any point. Therefore, I will assume you are not talking about me

remember, we're not in college anymore and it's really not the same as being a big shot on the internet.

I'm trying to think of famous internet bigshots and only Steve Case comes to mind. Has he annoyed you as well?
