Anyway, I can speak for myself and some of the other SERIOUS and DEDICATED SFs on the board. We REALLY do appreciate this forum. The funny thing about it is that even though, according to the Ps.O.W., we do not discuss issues pertaining to membership, etc., I have learned a lot indirectly and I am sure that other SFs have as well.
I think that part of the problem lies in the fact that the Internet gives some people a sense of anonymity. The bold things that people say on the Internet would never come out of their mouths in person. And, like 2D said, it's scary for some SFs that others are like that. I mean, some of us are trying HARD to reach our goals, while others are acting crazy, cussing folks out on the boards, etc. and they may be the ones to "make it." Since those of us are not that computer savvy, we have no way of knowing that it's someone that we see everyday that is acting a fool. Then what? Some people are truly like that, while others just do and say things to ruffle a few feathers. That just shows their LAMENESS and lack of better things to do!

I Totally agree with RedefindedDiva...
I have only been posting for a few days now, but while I observed the forum, I was impressed with the relationships I noticed between members and
Serious SFs and in the same token surprised at how rude, demanding and boisterous quite a few young ladies have been. I have also learned quite a bit in these three days just reading posts and paying close attention to what members have to say and thier opinions on topics and the many actions of SFs
(
Steeltrap, I replyed to your reply, sorry, I get a little TO passionate about discussions.) Ever since I started my quest for
AKA, I was always told by my mentor and other members to be humble. How can you expect to get
ANYTHING from
ANYONE by demanding, as if you are entitled to it? In my opinion
NO, young ladies who are exemplar of not following rules, regulations, directions and/or directives, will not be any different if granted membership. In my opinion, the cockyness and arrogance would overflow if any of these women, were admitted into this great sisterhood. It is scary to me also. They would represent the first and finest organization for African American women and what it stands for in all the wrong ways....but that is just my opinion.
