As we all know people and their Method of Operation changes up drastically in some instances on the net. Keyboards and perceived anonymity give a lot of folks e-courage and they are totally different when you interact with them face to face. Would you make the same points and statements that you enter here, exactly the same way, face to face?

In " real life "I wouldnt even be engaging in any type of conversation with a Greek regarding Greek Life and showing my interest. The only Greeks I have ever expressed interest to are older Greeks who attend my church who kinda give me pointers and whatnot. I even have some greek sistars who dont know of my interest to pledge cause like the people on this site have said a million and one times, discretion is important. The only way they will learn of my interest is if I ask them to write me a letter of recommendation if the time comes.

I said yes but i will say this... Although its a lil backwards... I tend to be more blunt in person. Its the internet so I can sit back and take the time to articulate thoughts and think things out (when i choose to... however, 95% of the time i write just like i would talk in person, but it depends on the type of discussion). Not to mention there are a quite of few people on here who know me in person already lol. So what am i gonna look like saying things to folk and acting a fool when they know i don't really get down like that in person. There is one excpetion tho. because its the internet I don't take most things people say seriously. If anything i look at it all as entertainment unless its a direct shot in malice. GDI's i like Changeplease I wouldn't respect in real life so why respect them online? (i doubt he/she/it would say 1/99th the things it says in person) If someone ever told me "N*gga I **** on Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia" in person... i'd be likely slit a fool's throat ear to ear.

I voted yes because in the "real world" I try to be patient and helpful & I'm very slow to anger. It takes a lot to make me cop an attitude. But the moment someone steps over that line and disrespects my sorors, my frat, friends, or heck even a friend of a friend I take offense. So those same rules apply when I'm on this site. SoundCheck-I also got **** a/b that "comment"(I won't even repeat that nonsense)...plenty of my frat are also in CAU's chapter Phi Mu Alpha plus another friend who's an Alpha. Ya'll are far too cool to be disrespected like that.... Peace&Blessings...

:grin: Trevon right... if you talk to him before i do, tell that cat i said "Wattup Bruh!". Yeah... I wonder what JJ, Eldread and all of them would have thought if upon reading that post . I ain't gonna lie... i was a lil heated at first but then i realized there are some GDI's who want what we have. "It" is obviously an aspirant of some org with some suspect intentions so i'm not even gonna sweat "it" nah mean... :arrow:

I guess I'm the only one who voted 'no'. I think I'm a lot nicer offline. I have come across some pretty outrageous people on the net and for their sake, I hope they're not like that in real life :???:

Even though I don't post much I would have to say that I'm probably a lot meaner. But I'm working on being nicer. :-)
