Edwarda:Plz stay! Don't let the Jim/flats /Ron /ck/Garry clique run you off too, as they have consistently done to others for a long, long time! You have shown much more class than all of them have combined! You have brought a refreshing honesty and straight-forwardness, combined with obviously a lot of good, first-hand information and insightfullness, unlike that clique in toto. Unlike that group, you disagree politely, rather than insult and attack those you disagree with as they do as their M.O. I can learn from your information and conclusions, unlike that clique. Be aware that that sorority may have initiated this thread, but they are not the rulers or lord masters of it, except in their own fantasies. They may demand everyone bow to their dictates of what should be and shouldn't be posted, but freedom of expression still rules the internet. They may conjure up in their own minds, and thru their gossipy PMs to each other, what rules the posters must follow, and which of the same dictates that they, as self-annointed Rulers of the Realm may violate, but freedom of speech is still the law of the land. The rude treatment you received for not abiding by their unwritten sorority initiation requirements, must be responded to by simply ignoring such, while maintaining a personal M.O. here of freedom of self-expression and of keeping confidentiality when necessary, so as to not give them yet another victory in their goal of sororital thread 'supremacy' and, 'punishment' by harassment, insulting, and bashing until wtthdrawal from the field from mental attrition or acquisence of any/all dissenters is achieved. Your posts I have seen indicate you have more valuable input to contribute. I, and on behalf of others prizing freedom of expression and of necessary maintenence of confidentiality over clique bashing of dissenters, request that you will continue posting and posting often, for our own y2k awareness enhancement.
