Arrogance and Insanity
(This is a bit more ranty than my previous post, but I think I have a right to get this stuff off my chest. I mean, when you spend nearly all your free time working hard, going above and beyond any other person's efforts, for a group that you love, and never would have said a word about it, well, when someone then comes up to you and says, "you

I mean, apathy, sure, I'm used to that. She's displayed plenty of apathy for years now. Nothing new there. Apathy has always been a problem with a lot of the people in PaCO, as I'm sure you remember.
But trying to get rid of us when we accomplished all the things she said couldn't be done? Pulling in University officials to say that non-students don't matter and the President has "power"? Abusing her privileges as a First Class moderator to delete anything that raised questions as to her failures, refusals to help, and even hinderances? Using the University to call a meeting where we would be kept out so she could tell people only what she wanted them to hear? Yes, those are ALL things I NEVER thought I'd see from ANYONE, especially not after Psycho Boy was gone. I am indeed incredibly surprised.
I'm just glad the control tactics failed and that there will be an election now, offering the new students a chance to take PaCO and save it, and make it what it was always meant to be. And we'll be here to help them, and tell them how to find out who they need to talk to be able to do whatever they wish. We will not tell them "it can't be done". We will help them make PaCO great again.
I hope to see it safely in the hands of these great new students I've met, and going strong in pagany goodness, before it's time for me to leave this area.

I love PaCO too much to see it destroyed by apathy and telling people "x can't be done". When one secretary told Michelle our Samhain bonfire didn't look possible and she was ready to accept that, Zeus tracked down the actual person to talk to and found that we COULD have a Samhain bonfire without Bumstock Field (it's all paved now, not enough room left for anything next to that gazebo anymore).
PaCO almost died out in the past year or so, before this semester, before our summer of advertising at every Student Orgs Fair, and I have fought very hard to get it noticed and save it, and had come so far with success when Michelle suddenly tried to throw out non-students. I refuse to let it be torn down all over again. We are blessed with some dedicated and capable new student members this semester, and we will get right back to advertising and see PaCO be great again. Not held down by fear of success, fear of asking for things, and apathy.
