But that's not really true, either. You've called me out before, and I've called you out before, too. We could've just as easily ignored each other, but we didn't. (Not that this is about you or me, I'm just giving an example.) That's what people do here. They see something they don't like, and they say something about it. I respect the fact that you typically display a tolerant attitude on here, but not everybody in this forum operates the same way.

I see this topic no differently. People are calling her out on this post, which they clearly take issue with. That's all. Why do we have to chalk it up to astrology when it's just people voicing their opinion?

This is too exhausting now. I hate it when therapists or whoever comes in like, "look at me. I'm calm and collect. Sophisticated. Blah blah blah."

Nah, you know what? There's been entire countries formed by war. There's probably been babies conceived after the parents fought with each other beforehand.
Sometimes you gotta get dirty. Sometimes you just have to bang it out with each other. Ignoring is not always the answer. What happens if you ignore gonorrhea?
I know I'm being silly but come on.

Ok that's all folks. (Looney Toons)

Ami told me to move on.

Issued a command like she is the boss and I'm her slave.

So I issued a command in reply, in equal measure: "Hey, you. Slave. Move along."

Normally I never address people that way. I was just mocking her attitude.

I thought it would be obvious, what I was doing.

I don't remember who said what but I wasn't singling (is that how you spell it?) anyone out, Faith. Didn't mean to make you feel picked on. I have no problem with you.

All I know is you can't fight fire with fire.

My mind is numb from this thread. Gonna take a break for awhile.

Often, people who present these qualities are banned, so we don't have to discuss how they impact the forum. It's taken care of for us.

She is not censored by the webmaster for this, quite the contrary she gets mostly encouragement, which leaves people scratching their heads about how this forum can be what it is: both progressive and backwards.

The charge for the banners have no bearing on anything other than what small minds make out of nothing.

Find something productive to do with your time that includes HELPING people like someone like Randall does or I try to do.

What small minded lives you all must have lol

For that lesson, I am grateful.

If I had as many people with as many different life experiences and personalities telling me that they find me difficult, I would be trying to understand their point of view and change my ways, but Ami has taught me there are people who don't see the need to do that.

I think that is a very sad and miserable way to live, but beyond saying a prayer for her soul, there really isn't anything I can do about it. It is her choice. So most of the time I remain silent.

Also the way she demonizes a certain asteroid that matches a prominent forum member's last name. Others have called her out on that, "Why do you take such a negative view?" but she digs her heels in while slamming this asteroid.

And she acts nice to that person's face, and continues to play nasty asteroid games.

I actually agree strongly with everything you just said. I do feel that sometimes is good for both parties involved to just let it all out even if it gets very intense bc in some occasions that can be therapeutic in my PERSONAL opinion but in this kind of platform such as a forum I don't feel is the best platform for that approach as therr is too much room for misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

I don't like that either but I pick and choose what interpretations I find valid no matter who the astrologer is, I use my brain and come up with my own conclusions. Some of her input I like and others I don't and just ignore it.

The point is, I put myself in that person's shoes and feel it as if it's happening to me.

How would I feel, being in that person's situation? Not being able to defend myself without revealing my name?

And nobody says anything because it's so hard to really PROVE. But if that were me, being attacked that way, even if I said, "It's okay, I can handle this, it's fine"....I would still want someone to notice and say, "Nope. Not fine. You do not deserve that."

However, I've been frequently disappointed. I stopped looking at her site, since her Islamophobia means I am now subjected to posts showing graphic images from her Facebook. Last time, I had to see a beheaded cat. I do not frequent sites or admire people with this kind of content. Shock value for shock value's sake, just for the purpose of "proving" your point.

Ami, I am extremely thankful to you for pulling me into the love of astrology, and showing me a discipline I had no idea I'd plunge head first into. However, I have grown past your posts. I have learned astrology is not simplistic or fatalistic at its core. I have learned that to assign any meaning to one aspect or object as an end all, be all of its interpretation is ignorant of the vast energies and influence of planets. I have learned there is so much more to astrology, and to pretend there is not is only playing into the hands of those who find astrology to be silly and "woo woo."

There's nothing wrong with simplistic ideas as an introduction, and there's nothing wrong with fatalistic concepts to drive core information home. My issue is the idea that these simplistic, fatalistic concepts are being presented as true, and those who disagree are determined to be "unable to take the heat." That is not how mature discussion works, especially mature discussion of a discipline with vast history that is in no way fully understood. I have no interest in "my way or the highway" type thought. I've been guilty of it (probably even here), but to shut down, ignore, and De-center yourself when called out is so disappointing. I'd love to have a real conversation. But in this instance it seems impossible.

And regarding transits: it's so dismissive to blame discomfort and disagreement on transits. The planets are always in transit, and disagreements are alway happening. Transits may explain why something seems more important now, or why we can no longer be silent as an issue is repeated. Transits don't just make problems out of thin air...since that's not how astrology works.
