people have brought to my attention that i've offended a large number of people on these boards, and that i come across as a mean person, and my intuition is telling me that people want me to leave. If thats how you feel, or just want to add your opinion, please post, and if i've done anything wrong, or against you, please clarify it for my understanding, thanks.

This forum is not a popularity contest, you shoud stay.

I don't know you very well, and therefore don't have a problem with you.

I am currently in the aftermath of a dispute and I'm sure some people would say the same of me.

Thats unfortunate but doesn't force my hand at all. I know LOADS of people on here who have gone through such periods.

The beauty of the place is that these things right themselves and balance always prevails.

Having said that, I hate lingering nastiness with people, so I can understand your putting this question out there. If you feel you were in the wrong then simply aim to make amends and get on with it.

If every time there was a dispute people left LL it would be a ghost forum.

I would say stay and brave it out. If people see you trying they have no option but to respect that.

I think everyone is being a little sensitive on this board.

This place is so amazing. People are respectful and insightful.

The real world is sooooooooooooooo much worse. And come to think of it, so are most other message boards I have seen on the internet.

Ive no problem with you.

Didnt you act a little tactlessly with a woman who put up her chart...you seemed very foot in the mouth there...but I also noticed you apologised profusely, How many can do that? Arent you just 16...you come across very bright and "knowing" for your age...

It strikes me that you are aware of the "possibility" of upsetting others.....that is a very admirable trait in itself...some would just carry on regardless...

Stay...and learn....and grow...like we are all trying to do girl.

I love the straightforwardness of the inquiry.

You are you, and other people are other people. Often people clash. A lot of people are looking to transform other people by any means necessary. It's probably Karma in some sense in the majority of situations.

I've been at the heart of quite a few controversies around here, and all I can tell you is that you have to be true to yourself. If you enjoy it here, then it's your decision to stay regardless of what other people might think. Though banning does exist here in extreme cases, it's not the norm, so if you're not grossly misbehaving then you can pretty much consider it your right to be here if you wish to be. So the question [to me] is Do you want to be here? The rest is inconsequential.

hi neptune,
you are really trying to expand your knowledge of astrology.it seems to me,that possibly you are maybe covering to much and not going deep enough on some stuff.but stick with it,you are obviously immersed in astrological thoughts and i applaud that.go for it girl.

I like you. We bickered a little in past days but w/e. That's life LL is a gigantic classroom full of eager, smart, and passionate students. Every once in a while someone's gonna butt heads...I say just go with it. You CAN apologize, and you CAN see your flaws which is amazing.. (I'm not much older than you, but I know I was stubborn as hell at 16...).


You bring a light to this forum through your queries and questions, and it find it truly refreshing..I just wait for some question you're going to ask next because a lot of them, not just open the mind to explore thought and possibilities, but they're fun!

So yeah, don't go. I don't wanna show any favoritism...but *cough* stay, alright?

Hi hi.

I don't think that you're an inherently bad or mean person. (I can see why some ppl might get offended though... ). I think the bottom line is that yer still relatively 'young.' I'm not sure if you are clear yet about your own identity. Someone told me that if you do not see or hear yourself clearly, then no one else will. This isn't a fault. You probably just need to experience more... get thrusted outside of your 'inner' world... and gain some more clarity about the outer world and how you kinda fit into it (like what we're all doing, including you, really). Then you will know how to approach ppl without being constantly misunderstood. Hmm...

I think it's cool that we all use astrology as tools to understand ourselves (tendencies, potential, possibilities, etc.). I just don't think you should let certain chart aspects define you if you've never even been in a situation to 'test' that potential. To use a cliche, 'true' self-awareness comes with experience... something like that.

Sorry if I sounded scattered/irrelevant/condescending. I was jus typing, yeah. Otherwise, no probs here with you. Staying or going is your choice alone.

well tealogist, thank you for your honest reply, but I am very aware of that piece of information, partly due to the fact I have 50 year old parents who do make sure they're heard very consicively.

And since you stated that you have no preference of whether i'm here, or even show a desire for me to stay, it was easy for me to get "your message". Maybe its just me, but it seems like you don't care, so why bother replying anyway. But I understand everyone's different, and I know where your coming from, i think.

Mmmm... no it's not that I don't care. I just think that most ppl will do what they want to do, regardless of what anyone says. I didn't want Glaucus to leave either, but he left. That was his choice. *shrugs* And you've chosen to stay ... and so umm, cool, that's your choice. Yay for freedom of choice!

Neptune - I think the problem that you're dealing with is probably more about miscommunication and a slight generation gap as opposed to people not liking you or wanting you off of this forum. I replied to a post you put up a couple of weeks ago, and I remember you thought that my response was a bit of an attack on you and I apologize for not giving a rebuttal to that. It was not against you at all, but simply my opinion on the subject itself.

I'm almost 28, but my sister is 16. Sometimes I forget what it was like to be that age. The biggest struggle you face as a teenager (aside from being in between child and adult) is that your world revolves around you. There is so much in life that you have not yet experienced...so many big decisions that you'll have to make, so many mistakes to learn from, responsibilities, people that will come in and out of your life... Right now your biggest concerns are about you. And that's ok - that's where everyone is at your age. But when you post things about "outer beauty," and plastic surgery to go from a 2 to a 0, you have to understand that to most people over the age of 25, something like that should be the LEAST of your worries...unless you're a supermodel and that's your livelyhood. This is probably why some people on here may have difficulty relating to you.

Having said that, you've made a huge effort to become an active member of this forum, and I think that's great. You're learning, and you're getting valuable advice from people. With age comes wisdom...you're going to make mistakes, but what you do with that is up to you. The decision is yours, but like others have said, there are always people that you are going to rub the wrong way...you'll never get along with everyone and there's no reason that you should. Just handle it like an adult and you'll be fine.

Best of luck with your decision...

I don't think you should leave - You ask interesting questions. And you seem very intelligent for your age.

Hi Neptune5, I just began writing on this forum a couple weeks ago, but I agree with Blue. I enjoy reading your posts, and I think you have more to contribute to help people like myself, so from one virgo rising to another-don't go.

Neptune5~Some people just like to argue, but most just want to debate different views. If someone takes offense to something you said, it may be because they can't handle the truth your Saggie Sun dishes out in it's oh so blunt way.

Just do what my Sag G-ma always did. Shoot a few well aimed arrows at their ***** to get them to back off. Then apologize, rephrase, and move on. Do you realize how many times I have to do those three things and I'm 20 yrs older than you and not a Sag!
