I take pride in trying to elevate my psychic awareness and aptitude. I practice on here because this is an open community. I don't always have the time I wish I did to fulfill readings and responses and feedback. I'd actually like to meet someone who does (shoutout to your open agenda, seriously!! I envy it). We are all on here to help one another, to elevate understanding, to offer insight, to help promote and cultivate what we find in the common understanding of astrological and psychic and new age dedication. We might not all connect. But it's beyond disheartening to be called out for that if it doesn't happen. Not all of us are completely connected to the other (in many senses...who we read for, what we find in deciphering charts or cards, what we appreciate from a personal level, the greater spirit, et al). I understand pertinent feedback. To be told, "This doesn't resonate at all," is helpful, if it comes with feedback. From that, we learn and grow. But, at times, for some of us earlier on the path, it's hurtful if we can't relate to what those words truly mean. They don't mean, "You suck," (which is an easy takeaway), but rather are meant to say, "This is off base, but here's why..." with no explanation. Just a final ending with no thought put into a response that would benefit the reader.

What I don't understand is the undercurrent of ascerbic bite in responding to one another?? Some might be better here, but why herald that over another? We are all trying. If something doesn't fit, who are we to tell a reader that, in less than polite terms....or to not offer a way to help them find better perspective in what they've said? I have never ONCE offered feedback or comment to someone in terms any less than "Sorry, this is not right for me right now. But another time!" We're here to learn from one another. To help one another. To grow. To get better at this.

Cherful, I'd be lying if I said this didn't have something to do with you. BUT what you offered me tonight was the knowledge that I reading I did meant, in a greater sense, "nothing was coming in." I learned from that. And I thank you. Prior comments in that thread were hurtful. And took me days to internalize and not take personally but still to write the above.

I want us all to better one another. However ineloquent this post comes out. Let's be good to one another. It's Sag season. It's growing beyond boundaries and what we think should happen, and blind optimism season. Let's be kind to one another.

I think the participants in your thread grew wary of the fact that you opened an exchange thread and then you disappeared for days. Your Participants left readings for you and patiently waited all day and then some more for their due exchange. By the time you came back several days later, they were already a bit apprehensive and felt let down.

An exchange thread is for exactly that - exchanges - you pay at the time of service, maybe a few hours later at best. If someone gives you their time of day to leave a reading, they expect to have the same gesture in return.

If you had offered free readings, however, then you do it at your own pace.

Most readers here are so diligent and responsible, they post the exchange with a disclaimer that they can only exchange for the "next 2 hours" because they will be away after that and they dont want to leave the participants hanging.

Also, I think those multiple reversals which are predominantly in your spreads ( some spreads are entirely RX) are kinda taking away from your thunder and giving skewed results.

I like you, and I like reading for you. Don't get me wrong. And you wrote that nice note that included me, but ******* , why jump against me?

Regardless of if people decide to share readings ASAP, as you have @orange...no one ever complies to a certain amount of time. I don't know why reversed would take away from my thunder (a personal view I guess, but they're equally as pertinent). Reversed is meaningful to me. I don't see why they should be excluded, but if there is a general consensus on here they shouldn't be used, of course I would remove them.

Note that I never expect exchanges within several minutes or hours. Exchanges are always based on a time allowing basis for all participants.

I haven't exchanged with you and am giving you my honest opinion. I have a life too, and am fairly busy most of the time.

I don't think anyone is attacking you on this thread. Voicing one's opinion vs. being attacked are two different things. Just respectfully disagree with the person and there is no need for foul language from anyone on this particular forum.

I can relate to this very well. I hardly did exchanges, but talking about when I offered free readings to others.

The point of the matter is, is that you weren't honoring it; on ur thread u opened. You kept coming on saying you were going to get to it that day, but never would. But then you would come on again on another day and say that you would, but never did.

There shouldn't have to be any rules on the site but this is something that always gets debated on. In fact like 2 months ago, around that time, many on here had this discussion and Randall had agreed that if people don't honor their exchanges that they will be kicked off The Forum.

People are trying to help you see a perspective that you're not seeing, but they're not attacking you.
