oh, I thought you said "Does that mean in a past life, I was crappy."
Well, my answer is totally different than what I was going to say.


PIXEL PIXIE OR DUST FAIRY WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

YOU DON'T LIKE ME THEN DON'T BOTHER EVEN ANSWERING MY POSTS. EVERYWHERE I GO YOU ALWAYS COME IN AND START SOMETHING JUST SO I CAN GET BANNED LIKE ALWAYS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS STARTS. IF I AM ASKING ABOUT ASTROLOGY IN A POST THEN THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT TO GET AN ANSWER FOR. YOU ARE A GROWN MARRIED WOMAN AND YOU REALLY NEED TO GROW UP.

Um, you might want to quote someone's post in its entirety ...

The thread topic that you started where this occured is titled "True Node Crap".


You asked,

quote:
If my north/true node is in cancer then does that mean in my past life I was a cappy?


pixlepixie replied

quote:
oh, I thought you said "Does that mean in a past life, I was crappy."
Well, my answer is totally different than what I was going to say.

This time around, the theme and lessons of Cancer are important to your karma. Etc, Etc.....
I only really posted to make a stupid joke.


Um, the stupid joke here is that you brought up Crap in the title of that thread ... and crappy and cappy are very similar words. True Node Cap or South Node Cap vs True Node Crap ... haha? No? Well, maybe it's not an absolutely fantastic joke ...
But she did say she was making a joke ... a joke based on word play, not a joke at your expense or insulting you.

Oh yeah, writing in all caps is considered by many to be much more immature and certainly more insulting than making a joke since it implies that you are yelling at someone. Just thought I'd mention that.

You like my word play?
I find it much more veiled than yours.
Check this one out then.. you insulted someone I called my friend, I responded to you.... http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum10/HTML/001474.html
I'll own up to it... no problem.. you wanna' start something?
I'm sure it will finish here, with you once again being kicked on your snippy, sorry, sad excuse for a character.
What I allude to, you say full force darlin.....there is a difference in defense and plain nastiness.

I wonder why you have this complex against me?
I respond to a lot of posts here..Especially the ones that are insulting.

And what is the big wup abot the whole moderator thing?
Moderators are supposed to 'moderate'.. as in.. make sure people play nicely.
You don't play nice.

Yes, thank you Eleanore.
I appreciate the clarification.

Would you like me to find and compile all your pretty insults? Atlantic Myst, Mystic Dreamz, SWEET Blue Moon?
I am sure I could find plenty.....

Do yourself a favor if you don't know the whole story then don't get involved Elenore.


And caps insulting? Jesus christ since when does font on the internet affect anyone?


Turn off your computer. You are to involved in the internet world.


And pixel dust do me a favor stop following me around on the forum posting negative things wherever I go. There is more to the story like I said. If I don't like someone I wouldn't be retarded enough to follow them all over the forum writing negative things especially when they aren't even saying anything bad to you. And if I did say something bad it's because YOU did first.


Don't talk unless you've seen it all.


Atlantic Myst, Mystic Dreamz, SWEET Blue Moon?

Only you would be that pitiful enough to actually even remember every name I have ever had. It really shows the stalker in you.

Ooh... You're Atlantic Myst.

Well then... it all makes sense now.

Hehe... you have to change up your name to keep people on their toes.

That's comedy.

Okay.. deal.. like I said in the other post to you. That one where I learned your new identity... if you play nice, i will play nice.
You are freaking out because I posted on the same thread as you? Because I posted a stupid joke?
Look around.. I do it all over the place. People always complain....
I happen to post on the same Astrology website you do. I have been here for a while. If i post on same strings, it isn't because I am stalking you.. please do not flatter yourself, it is because ..
We Post On The Same Astrology board.
We are bound to see the same threads.. I do not have magic vision to bring my eyes to your posts.
What I do have, however, is the (however unwise) need to defend those which you insult for no reason.
Before YOu arrived, I have done the same thing. I get all motherly, I must defend, even if they don't need it.
So you inevitably hear from me.
So If you'd like to NOT hear responses from me, refrain from posting negative things, and I won't respond that way.
You don't post only crap, I am aware of it... I haven't said you do, but I have seen from the beginning that you go off like a rocket.. for whatever reason, and well.. you have no tolerance for others. Which makes me inclined to have no tolerance for you.
Stop freaking out.
And I will stop calling you on it.

oh please how many times have I posted something in the astrology section about south nodes, planets, etc. Only to have you come in here and start writing negative stuff all because we had a fight in global unity. Keep it where you have to. No one else wants to read all this crap. They expect to find something about astrology. No one wants to read what you and your moderator friends have to get back at me for.

You need to check yourself.

Okay, Sweet Blue Moon..
You said it yourself.. if I am such a stalker, then why have I not said ANYTHING in your admittedly many posts????...

Until you said something about crap/cap, and it was a perfect fouteen year old boy in a woman's body moment.
Only my fourteen year old boy is playful.
Yours is kinda' mean.

But you just said yourself, you have posted many times, with absolutely NO response from me.
So who's the stalker/sensitive one?
That was my rebuttal to stop you from having fantasies about me...
You are really not that important to me.
Continue posting all you want.. but don't get nasty. That's all. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/004912-2.html
I though I would edit and put this here. It is the post where she got nasty with Pid, and that is the only time I have responded to one of her recent posts.. until this.

I knew you couldn't help responding to my post when I defended Mr. Heart Shaped from your unnecessary ire.
You talk such a big game, I actually started to believe you were growing up.

I don't need to defend my marriage to you. You wouldn't understand anything.

Don't talk about my restraint until you find some yourself.
I am finished with you.
You are the one who said a nasty thing about Steve. You are the one who started a 'pixie-bashing' thread.
You are the one a tad upset for no reason.
You can't call me on behaviour that isn't wrong.
Yours is.
Bottom line. Do you really think people on this ASTROLOGY site want you questioning a 'moderator's status', when you insult people on a regular basis?
Besides.. I DON'T MODERATE HERE!!!!!
That's A.J's territory.
I 'moderate' nasty behaviour when it's warranted , because my mama instilled it in me.. or you can blame Astrology.

SBM, was that really necessary?

It's not about "knowing the whole story". It's about you misrepresenting a situation in order to try, in vain, to make it work to your advantage.

Perhaps the idea of consideration is entirely lost on you, but in interactions between people, behavior matters. Obviously, on-line, we don't have the benefit of being face to face, where facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice (to name a few) are at our disposal to help us interpret the true meaning behind someone's words. The internet has been around a rather long time now and there is a generally accepted (at least by people with a smidgen of consideration and understanding in their beings) code of etiquette ... the most obvious, and certainly one of the oldest of all of these, is the interpretation of all caps as yelling ... because, if you haven't noticed, there really isn't a way to yell at someone (as in, with sound) through a written medium.

I wasn't rude to you, nor was I irrate. I simply mentioned it to you because you seemed to be unaware of it. There really was no need for you to respond in the manner you did.


And, just out of curiosity ... who on earth do you think you are to tell me to turn off my computer? And, how could you possible begin to assume to know my level of involvement in the internet? Even if you did know how involved I or anyone else was on the internet ... would it even matter or make a difference at all in this discussion? Your comments are completely non sequitor and serve no purpose other than to expose you as a person who likes to instigate arguments for no apparant reason.


By the way, the proper word in your little assumption would have been too, not to. If you're going to try to present yourself as an adult and then be needlessly rude, you could at least make the effort to develop some basic grammer skills so that you don't look ignorant on top of crass.

Moving on, you posted an entire thread in regards to your "problems" with pixelpixie. Your intent is clear simply by the way you titled the thread ... calling Randall's attention to his choice of moderator suggesting that pixelpixie is unfit for this position. Unfortunately for you, but perhaps entertainingly for us, you completely missed the mark about what is or is not appropriate behavior with your example since you completely missed the point of her post being an obvious word play joke even though she even stated it herself. However, by posting a thread devoted to trying to bring to Randall's attention your misguided ideas of inappropriate behavior you (1) opened this little drama up to the entire forum, indeed the entire website, wherein anyone is free to engage in this conversation as they please and (2) have done nothing more than present yourself as a belligerent and immature person who has nothing constructive to add to a conversation but a sour attitude and a rude disposition.

No one can get you banned for your behavior on this site. You get yourself banned. You, and only you, are responsible for your words and reactions here. The idea that you would think that an argument that doesn't even pass in kindergarten (you did it first) would be any sort of excuse for your behavior here would be laughable if it weren't so sad.

Eleanore~ You are truly a clarica agent.
Thank you for point by point stating what I tried to do in disjointed posts.
You said it a heck of a lot better than I did.
Thank you.
Inevitably, you will hear
"Mind your own business.. *add expletive here*"
But you did it well.

Wellll, I certainly know that this isn't any of *my* business, but as pointed out earlier, it is an open forum.

I have found, in my travels across the net, that if you have a problem or doubt in regards to a moderator, the best thing to do is to discreetly send an e-mail to the main 'authority' figure of the board, be it the webmaster, owner, main moderator, etc... If this is done, it can be rationally evaluated by exactly the right person, while keeping the board enjoyable for everyone.

Being my first time here, I know nothing of the people involved and therefore have no side. Perhaps that will show that I have no ulterior motive here. It has just been my experience that an angry, and usually impulsive, post creates more harm than good. In addition, if you have a serious complaint (which I have no idea about not knowing any of the situation), phrasing it in an explosive manner allows the reder to see it as emotional and therefore inconsequential. In contrast, *one* concise e-mail, allows you to be taken seriously.

...Just some advice for the future...

I hope I did not offend either side here, if so , I apologize.

Hi, and what a time to join.

Don't worry about my 'character'.. the only thing I am is 'quite a character' and you can probably read what you need to know here. No worries.
I hope this display didn't scare you away.
Sometimes it happens.
We can always call it the "Mercury Retrograde Angry Rant" thead.
Then we could introduce the posts about Mercury retrograde, and why these things always happen during one.
And why my natal Mercury in Libra is opposed this current retrograde transit in Aries, which makes it ever so fun.

No prob, pixelpixie. I think you've seen me around here enough to know that I only tend to intervene when I see something ... well, something like this going on. It might be an awful character trait, I don't know, but as far as this thread is concerned, the part of me that can't abide duplicity just couldn't remain a quiet observer.

Welcome! Glad to have the insight of someone who is not familiar with whatever personal "issues" may or may not exist between others on this site. Your post was clear, to the point, and certainly logical. Please hang around a while and you'll see that there are actually quite a load of kind, loving and considerate folk hanging around here who are ready and willing to lend a helping hand or a patient ear whenever possible.

Wow! Egos will do anything to justify.

I havent being posting for that long cos quite frankly, I'm crap. And others are much more articulate and insightful and wise.

But I have been around long enough to know how Sweet Blue Moon (as she chooses to be called now) is perceived.

Yes she is antagonistic but I recall seeing one thread in which she was backed into a corner. She may not know how to wax as poetic as most people on this thread...so she protected herself the only way she knows how. Fair enough.

This is an astrology thread afterall, so in keeping with the theme...Scorpions stings. Geminis lash out. (Yes, I am stereotyping here. Indulge me)

It seems that people pander to her rants and stir her...if only to reinforce some bonds.

If you dont like what someone writes, ignore them. Theres no need to lower your standards for the sake of brotherhood.

My two cents.

She was backed into a corner in one thread so that makes her antagonistic behavior on many threads acceptable? My opinion is no, but that's just me.

This person has posted many, many times on many, many threads with many different names (having been banned many times) where I and others have done us all a momentary favor (but in the long run perhaps a disservice) by ignoring her. But this is not a thread like those others where an argument began with her involved. This is a thread that she dedicated to attempting to deceitfully portray another member here as behaving inappropriately based on her own misinterpretations ... but her own inappropriate behavior should be overlooked? She opened up a private problem ... a problem that in any other situation would probably be overlooked ... to the entire forum. It was enough to cause you, who are cautioning us to ignore her, to post on this thread. Attention getting, isn't it? We all have our opinions, don't we? And we all have a right to express them. But I, personally, would not begin to suggest that all of us here have our Egos at the forefront because that is an assumption that neglects to consider all the other times when some of us have kept our opinions to ourselves.


I'm not pandering to her rants, to be honest. I simply am tired of seeing threads devoted to calling into question someone's character/abilities/behavior ... and particularly so when the person doing the questioning is in no position to be calling out someone else's behavior once their own is considered.

Not to be argumentative because that really is not my intention but you said

quote:
If you dont like what someone writes, ignore them.
Honestly, what prompted you to respond in a thread where people were writing things you didn't like? You could've easily ignored us all and this entire thread rather than adding more fuel to this little fire. I'm not saying people should refrain from sharing their opinions, however. I'm just wondering why there seems to be a conflict between your advice to us and your own response.

BTW, just my opinion, but I don't think you're crap.
