She could have done that. But posting the number is sufficient. Are we going to micromanage everything said on here? Free expression implies that no, we aren't.

No, I'm just trying to get a sense of order and how you will enforce things, if you are willing to help. If Ami can misspell an asteroid on purpose, anyone can...I'm just foreseeing chaos. :-/

It's not about that, Randall. It's about deliberately and continuously posting blatantly wrong information, and whatever agenda is behind that.

Well, I don't think there will be chaos. With all of the good causes in the world to suppport, I find this particular one to be most underwhelming.

Free expression denotes that you can comment on Asteroid misspellings, which you have. I doubt the issue will ever come up again.

But this is your forum and if you look around, it has been in chaos lately. Ami herself said people are being hurt by the chaos. Voix posted a whole thread trying to address a problem and many people contributed because it's affecting the forum.

So, you saying, "It's just a forum" is kind of disheartening.

Let's put it this way, if it becomes pervasive, then I will deal with it. For the most part, I will always try to defer to the side of free expression. You may not like the intentional misspelling or her reasons for doing so, but it makes sense when framed within creative license.

You know part of problem solving is working together to find a compromise, part of conflict resolution is having the humility for each party to own their part in the problem. I don't think she goes around mispelling asteroids left and right and for that specific instant, the example you provided, she did it for a reason with the correct asteroid number attached making it easy to see and verify the actual spelling. You are free to point this out and say it bothers you ofcourse but other people are free to look at it in a different way too and deem it as creative license.

Oh faith, before I go to bed, it's very late in Europe, I want to send you hugs , kisses, and

You are absolutely no bully, you are a treasure to this forum, always willing to stand up and fighting against lies, for integrity and versus filth that could cause any harm to anyone. no matter how much impertinence and shamelessness you have to encounter.

That's a real upright soul you have proved to have!

I never said "It's just a Forum." I said this is a discussion forum (meaning to distinguish us from a scholarly Astrological site). I'm sorry if that was unclear. LL is actually more like an extended Family. And it's the arguments that are a bit disheartening. But it happens. People argue. We learn from it. Onward and upward.

Bc is implied, if you are paying attention and put in the asteroid number and see the spelling is different and then check her interpretation for it, you will get why she did it; its implied. She personally didn't feel the need to spell it out.

However your suggestion is great.

As I asked before, does that only apply to the LL reference library?

The chaos of the past week has been based around Ami making repeated, blatant errors that she refuses to correct. That issue is being swept under the rug, chaotically. And emerging from this chaos is a new, future chaos, where we may name asteroids anything we like, citing artistic license.

I see a chaos continuum.

I am afraid Hypatia that yes. Please understand how hard it is for so many of us to have to repeat it so many times, but if you want to see the source of the situation leading to this thread, you can find the summary in my post here (page 3): http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/236935-3.html I don't want to copy paste the summary in this thread because I don't want to bring back these wounds and since what matters to me most is what I proposed in this thread, a stance FOR future astrological accuracy, integrity and fluidity on Lindaland.

And now we have this!!!!

NOTE: We support astrological accuracy in all chart analyses. If technical inaccuracies in a post are identified and confirmed by a reputable source, the poster should correct the error(s), or else a Mod may edit out the information, and if the subject of the misinformation is the focus of a thread, it may be closed.

Thank you, Randall

I understand what you're saying. I personally though would've chosen a different alternative if I wanted to get that across, as suggested

Hope this is not just for the Reference Library.

And thank you, Lee, for your perseverence, in the interest of maintaining the integrity of astrology.

GREATLY appreciated

My sun square Jupiter would salute you with cannons but I haven't got any.

But I hope Life rewards you...I know it will.
