• GreekChat: The F*** You Forum

  Okay, so I was pretty upset today. This is why.

  For a while now I've been a member of an online forum, GreekChat. This forum caters especially to sorority and fraternity members, and because of this, joined up. I like the forum as a whole, but it really infuriated me this morning after breakfast. I'm sure you remember the posts I made on here about wanting to go through rush a second time, so I won't bother to reexplain all of that. But anyway, I mentioned this on GreekChat, and in addition to that, asked if I was being stupid.

  Well, I got a huge reaction to posting the thread, and most people said I wasn't being dumb and ridiculous. But one reply to it really got my ire. This person (I will NOT state her name on here) had the nerve to say that I was being "stupid" by trying to validate my life choices on there.

  What the FUCK??? Since when was I trying to "validate" my decision to go through rush a second time on this forum? I was only asking their opinion. But you know what, I guess I was being stupid by asking initially.

  Well, as you might have guessed, this really upset me, and I ended up asking a few people on ScribeFarm the needed question: "If I asked your opinion on something, would you think that I was trying to validate myself?" And this is what they said:

  They would not.

  So where does this person get off. You know, thinking about it, the person was just being rude and callous. I was tempted to retort back, but my conscience bit me in the nick of time, and I decided not to do this because by doing so I would show others on the forum that I am irrational.

  From now on, I won't ask anyone's opinion on there unless I REALLY need to.

  Note: If you're a member of GC and have a Xanga membership, I'm sorry. But I need to get this out of my system.

  Update: My thread got closed, LOL. Oh well, I guess that means the drama can end. It needs to, anyway.
