Lawyers save another chapter

[33girl]

I agree with James.

If a chapter does something you don't agree with, or continues to support individual members that have done something you don't agree with, freeze them out. It's far more effective than revocation of charter or campus recognition. As several members of this board know forcing a group "underground" really does very little to make them go away...if the campus populace in general supports them, and thinks the reasons for their revocation were bogus, they will continue to exist. The continued success or failure of these groups will be determined by the Auburn campus community, not by anything school officials or national officers do.

marissa said basically the same thing back on the first page of the thread.

I don't agree with what the American Nazi Party says, but I will defend their right to say it. I'll also defend my right to call them bleeping bleepholes as they walk down the street, or have a counter-rally when they have whatever Nazi-fest they have planned, or boycott any businesses they own and urge others to do so.

I am being unclear, or you are being inattentive, I am not condemining the chapter in any passionate way therefore I don't fall under the conditions I listed.

However, for those of you that are passionately involved, for those of you that are condemning the chapter in the strongest terms, for those of you that believe the chapter's actions should have consequences, you have an easy and effective way of impacting that chapter in a negative fashion.

Whether your convictions will translate into actions is on your conscience, I was just giving you options.

Eaglechick19, in the interest of harmony I will reread my posts and see if I do indeed match the criteria to "shut the !@$# up!". Or whether I actually suggested that people should do that lol.

Actually, I don't see that I have an obligation to do anything.

If I'm sitting around talking with my friends, and they say, "So, what do you think of George Bush's Middle East policy?" and I say, "Well, it sucks," do I then have an obligation to write to George Bush (who would probably care less what I say) and tell him how I feel?

No! I don't have an obligation to force-feed my advice to other people who aren't seeking it.

If I were to contact anyone, it would be my sisters in the area. And as you may have noticed, there is an AXD on this discussion topic who is much closer to the situation than I am. Clearly, she has seen my opinion already, and she disagrees with me. Then who does that leave me to influence?

We all have a right to have opinions and even to discuss them without acting on them, especially when we are physically, emotionally and socially distant from the events in question. If it were my own campus, I would feel obligated to act. But I've never been to this campus, nor do I personally know anyone there.
