"==Fraternity Issue==  

 Thanks for the needed citation!  I owe ya!   

 :Hey, hope you see this...please look at the response to your explanations of the edits to the fraternities section of the Washcoll page.  I've been watching the edit war, and I think I've got a good middle ground. 
 Thank you! 

 : 209.whatever 
 : I thank you for your help in this matter.  I looked at your edit and found some of your ground to be neutral and some to be controversial.  I read it, had several of my graduate friends read it, and we all agreed that you turned bias in the end.  Your neutral points were kept, but the ""these groups are terrific"" mumbo jumbo that tagged along was removed.  Sorry.  However, I do adopt my points to some of your insights. 
 :Thanks again 

  
 Dear D-Hell-pers. I have been following the constant battle over information involved in the Washington College page. After some research, I have found the citation provided to have no information at all regarding hazing, or the creation of a fourth fraternity at Washington College's campus. After further research (searching the edit history), it can be seen that the same individuals are continually editing in false information, and now are getting away with it using an incorrect citation 

 :First of all ###.###.#.####, if you want to point ""errors"" in edits of articles, you may want to understand all the rules.  All edits in discussion pages should be signed using the 4 ""~"", even if you are just a set of numbers - this is like rule  #1 for discussion.  I admit that I from time to time forget to use this in my haste to complete a discussion/edit, however, I do use it most often.   

 :Secondly, Wikepedia is based on the fundamentals that the people who read them can think for themselves.  Take for instance a rock thrown into the air...it comes back down to the earth.  Why?  Because people who can read into it see that gravity pulls the rock back to the earth (for what seems to be the lack of your competance, we'll just leave it to this simple definition).  It does not grow wings and begin to fly; it does not aim for the nearest bird and act like a homeseeking missile (unless it was thrown in this casual manner, then ignore this ""will not""). 
 :It is in this simple example that demonstrates my point, ""All actions have consequences.""  In the manner you speak of, the fraternities being kicked out of their housing is the consequence (as well as members being booted from the group, etc).  For this reason, think to yourself why?  As I have explained on the discussion page of that article, it was not the general thought that the fraternity was getting too cool for the campus, and had to be split up for a period of time... it was because they HAZED.  Please take the time to go through your sources, look up the campus policies towards hazing, and for the fun ot it, look up other policies that would result in the whole group being booted out of housing.  Hint, it was not like the episode that happened five years ago this past fall, where the third established fraternity on campus, theta chi, was ejected out of there housing for selling drugs in the housing.  This could be a fun article for you to search out, however, it does not help with the fact that a fourth fraternity was created (well, maybe if someone said, ""because all other fraternities on campus are either hazing or selling drugs"" but wow, what a fun stretch this would be).   

 :So, when you can learn these two simple, and yet possible in your case, crucial, lessons by all means come back to discuss this subject further.  Thanks for playing!   

 ::Since many of the ""dumb-frat-boys"" wish to hide the fact, additional researching for references has been done.  (2) articles that have been archived on the WaC homepage, plus (1) that has yet to be placed online (but has been retrieved), are now referenced at the bottom of the WaC article in wikipedia (as well as citations to it from the overview).  Editors are more than welcomed to read these articles if they wish to continue to contest the facts (because the facts are now CLEARLY stated in these articles).   

 You are so cool man. I wish I was as cool as you. I apologize for being such a dumbass in this matter.  I should have read the articles before opening my big mouth.  Thanks for the addition of referenes and cleaning up my 'vandalism.'   

 ==Mis-using Edit Summary to Correct Those Mis-using It -p == 

 don't you find it the least bit ironic that you used an edit summary to chastise others on their misuse of edit summaries? ]
