I won't go as a far as to scream plagarism, that is a little extreme.
Yet I still say though if you are going to "write" something like this, you need to state whether this is your opinion based on your experiences or whether this is an article that you posted and show us the link so we can figure out the intent behind it.
Otherwise it just makes you look like you are talking out your butt.

People are raising a fuss because one of the term and conditions for this site deals with posting articles.
If you post something that you didn't write, you can only post a snippet and must provide a link to the full article.

Y'know, I get a little annoyed when W&L is on the "biggest/best Greek Life" lists... and then I get a little annoyed when it's not, too. Weird.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt of a guy who made a mistake in not giving his source and too childish to man up when it was pointed out, I will give a piece of advice about how to not do this again.
Here's an interesting article linklinklinklink.
Excerpt. Or here's the article in full:

 I blame lucgreek. In the other thread, lucgreek stated that HawaiiTKE is poorly representing TKE.

So, does anyone else want to address the fact that onlineuniversities.com is essentially a content factory that gives little to no valuable information in an attempt to grab the #1 google result and make lots of money on ads?

This is what I was thinking...
So the OP didn't post where he got this article from right away. No big deal, IMO. I've done it, and forgot to post the link where I got the info. Or when I was young, I didn't realize that I should post a link to the source at all. Why jump his ass? Why not say "hey, usually when we post an article or something, we provide the source." OP might have been like, "Oh, my mistake, got it from this website. Next time, I'll be sure to post the source too. Thanks for making me aware of this."
Manners go a long way. OP wouldn't turn defensive if his ass wouldn't have been jumped in the first place. Relax, people!

Nope. It was Barbie's Rush. She has a knack for starting shit for no reason.

If that's the case, it (Barbie's Rush) should be ignored.

I disagree. I think it would be more fun for it to blink out of existence on these boards through our collective shunning.
