But this is a wonderful forum for people like me that want to renew my gifts that I have left alone for many, many years and so many places want moneys for what we do as gifts. When you get to be as old as I am (dirt specifically), you do not take to heart things people do. We all have complicated lives. We all do (I believe) the very best we can. If we are lucky we have a few people that will love us in our lives. Bringing negative energy to anyone will bring it back to ourselves.

Blessed BE (to quote my wiccan friends... though I am a Taoist)

I know this thread is not only about the conflict that flared recently between these two specific members, but I take personal issue (meaning: my opinion and values) when someone abuses their moderator's powers by unlocking a thread she herself closed just so she can edit her reply to the other (aggravated person). Why reply to the complaint and lock the thread, without giving the other person their opportunity to respond? Why come back to it, unlock it, edit your brush-off and lock the thread again?

I've exchanged with both of them. I do have to say that the original poster does sometimes take a while to come back with their reading in exchange, but they eventually come back to it nonetheless. I haven't seen either of them not honouring their exchanges - only that the time one takes to do it is longer than what the other usually takes. I think what caused the friction in this case in particular is that this was supposed to be a quick exchange (i.e. done in a few hours at most), but the OP didn't come back with the reading after 48 hours had gone by, even though she did multiple posts in that same thread throughout the day after. So one felt dismissed by the other and tempers got out of hand.

I do not keep up on the politics of things. I would be overwhelmed if I did. I did not know but again. If someone would just remind me. Now that I know what a BUMP is... duh... I can always at least respond to those things that involve me.

I'm not sure I see these situations as a politic of any kind. Although an exchange policy here would be a great idea to uphold. I only addressed the situation because it was brought up and I'd had a personal issue with it already (even though I didn't express it beforehand).

Personally I don't find it hard at all to keep track of my own threads and the ones I contribute to. But while it's not in my nature to be forgetful, I understand others are not like I am and will not behave the same. I don't even take offense at people not exchanging back with me. This has happened in the past; after bumping the thread a few times, I let it go and moved on. Of course I get annoyed that I spent time and energy on an ungrateful person, but I'm not going to let them spoil my day for more than 2 minutes. I'm much more offended by those that I give a free reading to not coming back to even say "thanks" and recognize they got their reading. That's what kills me and aggravates me.

What I think is courtesy though, is stating clearly if you want to do an exchange or just asking for a free reading, and if offering an exchange, honour your word or, if it should not be possible (sometimes life barges in), just tell the first person so, so they don`t wait around for something that might never come.

I second this.

That being said sometimes you may need a reading but if you are under the weather and not clear you won't give an accurate reading. I always make sure I cleanse my body, charge and clear with crystals and just near drop the brain completely.

If people are too stressed or have too many distractions this will affect and taint readings, always make sure it's in a peaceful environment where you are open to impressions e.t.c coming through.

A few people owe me a few readings but I'm patient I can wait, sometimes however it is hard to find your threads and posts in the forum, maybe admin or the webmaster for this site should make it that all posts.threads a person does gets tracked under their profile so you can check the threads for posts every so often instead of going hunting for it

Overall LindaLand is a good site and many peoples readings here are insightful and helpful.

This was a good idea. Other people getting involved in on-going exchange threads and trying to shame another member? Not so much.
