I don't care to take sides on this one...But the publicizing of this issue stirs something within me... Just thinking that perhaps the two people creating the problem, should have both been banished together until they can privately make amends as friends, rather than publicly demonizing one of the persons involved and their friends? Just a thought... Won't return till Andy's back... See ya! Y'all could use a break from my antics anyways...lol IP: Logged |

At least not yet, anyway. Good luck. I hope to see you soon, my dear By the way, Kudo's for taking a stand!!!!IP: Logged |

I hold both Oxychick and NW_Evil in high regard. I do not have the details of what occured, nor do I want to know, because it is personal and it is between them. I was not witness to any attacks and while I would support a boycott if I felt it was justified, I do not in this case. I am not in charge of this forum and I feel that Randall has his reasons for what he did. We are not privy to the conversations between the moderators on their forum.
For all we know threats could have been made, that we did not read or know of and therefore the decision was made to bump certain people. Randall did say that it was only temporary and that one moderator needed to be banned due to the close ties with one of the people in the rift. I choose not to boycott. I am sorry that you feel the need to leave Lost Leo, your presence will be missed. I do support your decision as I am sure you thought long and hard about it.

thats the thing pidaua. the way randall spoke about it leads people to believe that something like that occured, when it didnt. nor did he let andy or ally defend themselves nor did he provide any sense of personal accountablity of his own, and that is why this issue is quite distasteful. there were no threats at all, but randall has worded things in a way that the average person who doesnt know any of the sordid mess would be suspicious of that, and end up thinking that andy is a nutcase, and so are his 'minions' which is so very very wrong. its just wrong on so many levels, what is happening. oh and its in free for all forum, for those who werent aware. i do not believe it is temporary. i dont think there was ever any intent for it to be temporary, people do lie sometimes and harbor hidden agendas. its a fact of life and human nature.

I am sorry anafeary, I thought maybe you were a moderator and had been involved with those conversations that they spoke of in the moderators only forum. Thatis what Randall intimated in that last post. I see that you are not a moderator so I wonder how you have intimate knowledge to what goes on in that meeting or between the moderators. I already stated my position. I refuse to take sides. I did read what Randall, Oxy, NW and Ruby wrote in the other thread. I will not be goaded or baited into a heated discussion on this thread. As I already stated, I do not believe a boycott is justified and will therefore not participate in a boycott. My response was to Lost Leo and was not intended to draw any response from parties representing any of the players. IP: Logged |

well, you answered this thread so *shrug*and i did not respond to your point to goad or anything, you can take whatever stance you want. i just wanted to address the fact that there is a lot of manipulation in the comments i spoke of, and i dont want people thinking that andy made threats. that was what i deemed necessary to clarify. again i reiterate, i am not trying to pursuade or goad you into believing anything. sorry pid, hope your life is full of love and laughter. take care and may your arrow always fly true.

anafeary, I am not angry or upset with you. I am a little peeved that Lost Leo put this on both threads forums when it should have been left on FFA. I know you have your opinions and they are valid. This whole just really breaks my heart and I have stayed of it until now. Even at this time I still have no idea why it is happening. IP: Logged |

I am sorry that some people feel so unhappy by the whole mess, but continuing to discuss it only prolongs the problem. I would like to ask all concerned to just let it be, and allow it to work itself out between the appropriate people. If anyone feels strongly enough to leave the board, thats unfortunate but their choice. Hopefully they will know that they can return when they are ready. This board, just like each of us individually has a natal chart, and is affected by transits, and just like us, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Just my 2 cents Lanny IP: Logged |

Sometimes People have to discuss things in order to make sense of them, and further, heal. If that's what they need, so be it. We all are made of similar stuff, but it is within the vibrations of their particular stuff that lies the difference. To each their own. Let's not now moderate emotions then, K?IP: Logged |

I think Lanny just wants to get back to our Mission--all the Linda things. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark IP: Logged |

By the way, LL, how is calling for a boycott till Andy returns not taking sides? ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark IP: Logged |

Rather than be redundant on the Transits of Lindaland's natal chart take a look in the FFA thread. Lanny IP: Logged |
