Greetings all!
I am coming to you with a request. I know how very passionate we all are about our individual and collective organizations, NPHC, NPC,NIC IFC etc., but let us all work on being MORE courteous and respectful in our posts. I recently visited a fellow Greek's forum, where there was a blatant disrespect of my Sorority and my Fraternity.
For some assanine reason, said offender was under the impression, it was okay to take a jab and neither I or any of my Sorors would or should respond. Let's make something abundantly clear. This is the WORLD WIDE WEB. You post...You WILL get a reply, and NO ONE besides the OWNERS of this site and moderators of these boards can do anything about it. In such case of blatant negative behavior, I personally think said poster should not only be reprimanded publicly, but the post should be deleted. Nevertheless, I pat the Moderators on the back for trying to keep the boards clean of Terms of Service infractions.
I am a woman of strong conviction and I recognize, there are folks on this board that simply have no home training...thus, even after their initiation, they still will not practices such golden rules as, if you do not have something nice to say, do not say anything at all.
Please don't get me wrong there have been many heated debates on here that I have learned a lot from(and participated in), particularly perception issues and I would not in a million years suggest, we should stop bringing up sensitive topics (except for some of those issues many of my fellow NPHC family have repeatedly said we will not discuss...Sorry!
)but people, people, people, STOP THE ILL BEHAVIOR. I HAVE SAID IT ONCE... I WILL SAY IT AGAIN...SUCH DISRESPECT SHOULD CEASE IMMEDIATELY...THINK BEFORE YOU POST, AND IF YOU UNCONSCIOUSLY HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SUCH BEHAVIOR AND YOU ARE CALLED OUT, TAKE IT LIKE A CHAMP, ADMIT YOUR WRONG DOING AND MOVE ON.
None of us are above our respective organizations. When we act out of line, we need to realize we have done our Founders,Sorors and Fraters a MAJOR disservice.
I hope each of you have a wonderful Valentine's Day...I sure will
Best Always!
