As to the WONDERFUL and AMAZING people who came to stand up for me like CP and Hypatia, against a mob of people, I really, really thank you and will never forget it. If there is anything I can ever do for you, help with charts or anything, please call on me!  I am a leader kind of person. A leader cannot expect to have strong opinions and not meet with disapproval. I have seen Randall go through this cuz he is a leader. He just got stronger! I was not meant/created to be a follower. Hence, if a group of people don't like me/ come against me/ try to hurt me/ mob together against me--I can't control that. However, they will never get me to change my core principles. Only people I respect and God will do that. Onto write my new article. If you can't take the heat, don't read it  ------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology?

Ami,A leader would address valid concerns regarding their messages that were communicated in a reasonable manner. I am reluctant to say any more however, at risk of being branded a "bully", despite making no personal attacks against you. I was part of no mob here, I merely requested discussion. The thread you invited me to was not relevant to my concerns. You may think that by sticking to your guns with this article, you are beating those who raised other issues against you, however, the truth is, you are actually just shutting your eyes to the damage that can be done with topics of this nature. That's a real bad day for a "counselling astrologer". Who regulates counselling astrologers anyway? Or do they make it up as they go along, and ignore the concerns of those who are actually working full-time in the field of mental health, regulated by professional bodies and supervised by consultants?

It is because she is so defiant and incorrigible...and unteachable....that her astrology is poor quality.The fact that she is emboldened by criticism to persist in her mistakes, making them even louder and more prolifically, ought to tip people off to the fact that something is seriously amiss. So much for "peer review."  IP: Logged |

Randall occasionally admits fault and recalibrates, though. quote: Originally posted by Ami Anne: I was not meant/created to be a follower.Hence, if a group of people don't like me/ come against me/ try to hurt me/ mob together against me--I can't control that.
Funny, you speak of yourself like you really are the Queen and we are the disgruntled peons raging at your palace. HILARIOUS  Yeah keep it coming.... This is good stuff. IP: Logged |

I have never seen anyone ask you to change your core principles. Certainly not in this thread. If that is what you think people are doing, you might want to read/listen more closely. IP: Logged |

I really wish you guys and others who are old sparring partners would open a thread for discussion, just between yourselves. The way things stand, you are just hurting each other or yourselves with the resentment carried forward, which makes me sad.Aside from the fact it could resolve issues *properly*, if successful, it would stand as a shining example to all of us for how to manage conflict in a forum. Maybe I am just a stupid idealist though.

"I disagree" and "I disapprove" are not the same thing. Lots of people ("leaders" or not, whatever that means) have strong opinions. When people with differing strong opinions engage in rational discussion, they are met with different information and differing perspectives, NOT "disapproval." Sometimes they change their minds about a specific issue, sometimes they don't. Often, if both sides are motivated to solve problems and maintain communication, they reach consensus. Always they broaden their understanding of the topic, the world and the people in it. Why do you immediately personalize a different perspective on a topic as "disapproval" of you as a person? I truly don't get it. IP: Logged |

You have issues with how Ami is handling this particular topic. To me it is interwoven with how she goes at every topic: with an intention to ruffle feathers. So you are seeing one particular manifestation or symptom, and addressing that, while I am looking at the whole pattern and underlying causes, and the history of manifestations that prove there is indeed a pattern. I don't think your grievance is superior to mine just because it ostensibly more on topic; I don't think you are setting a higher example than I am. Well except that you are more intelligent and serious than me. IP: Logged |

Faith,there is no feeling of superiority from me, I assure you. I am surprised that you even thought that?? Baffled, actually. I was simply trying to find an *actual* solution to resentment between members that has gone on for a long time. Clearly, how things are currently being handled is not working. I'm trying to offer an alternative, but sure, carry on if you wish. IP: Logged |

^^ No that is my honest opinion. quote: Originally posted by Voix_de_la_Mer: Faith,there is no feeling of superiority from me, I assure you. I am surprised that you even thought that?? Baffled, actually.
You criticized Ami, then I did, then you said, "You guys should...." as if you are doing something much different than what I am doing. (?) I guess I don't see that difference. You are more articulate and focused on the here and now, but that doesn't mean I am fighting with Ami just because I dislike her or we are old sparring partners or whatever. It's a matter of principle for me as well as for you. You want more respect for mental health, and so do I... And I'm saying that if Ami respected others' mental health, she wouldn't be so manipulative. IP: Logged |

Perhaps it's the curse of the internet, but it sounded sarcastic to me, and left me wondering what it is you are actually trying to say to me. IP: Logged |

? Oh well. I wasn't sarcastic, I said exactly what I meant, and what I believe. Sorry if the context made that hard to grasp. IP: Logged |

Voix summed up what I've been trying to say this whole time. Everyone's taking jabs at Ami like it's open "Ami Season". Then Ami fights back. Then everyone complains about her fighting back. It's just a viscous circle. This witch hunt method isn't working. If you have a problem with someone, open a separate discussion or privately discuss it to try to resolve. Taking jabs in public for everyone to see isn't exactly productive conflict resolution, IMO. IP: Logged |

@VoixI know my Nessus articles hurt you, but I cannot alter truth, as I see it. If you went to a doctor and he told you that you had a cold when you had cancer, he would not be your friend. He would be your enemy. It would be very easy for me to be like many astrologers who never anger anyone, but I have to be true to how I see it. If people think I am not right, they need to walk away, not try to get me to change what I believe. It is really ridiculous to attack me for my points of view when people can find someone else who thinks as they do. There are people who do not agree with me. People should find those people if what I say is hurtful. That is how a free society functions.  ------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology?
