the problem with doing the right thing is you can expect some flak in return. the post was submitted anonymously so parang tsismis lang yan, walang sapat na batayan ang nagbibintang. the poster demonstrated a very filipino trait: the art of backstabbing. PLUG as a fraternity? if it means you have to sacrifice something valuable like your time and energy for the benefit of the group then yes it is somewhat like a fraternity. PLUG members showing brotherly camaraderie and respect with each other, yeah that sounds like a fraternity. but PLUG allows female members so hindi na fraternity yon. kahit tingnan nyo pa sa diksyunaryo. PLUG also encourages people to being PROACTIVE and participate PRODUCTIVELY. that rules out the exclusive angle. the current board has done a lot in getting the PLUG moving towards becoming a real organization. i commend you for that and for every detractor you will attract, a hundred others appreciates your efforts. i would like to say that you dont mind posts like those but there is always a time to hold your ground and face your adversaries, as long as they are courageous enough to face you without the cover of anonymity. unfortunately the only one you have in that wiki is somebody who probably is a QSR ex-applicant who has a terrible crush on jijo (what else explains the use of the flowery word?). ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
