Well yeah...taking things seriously is one thing...and too seriously...well timing is often an issue in my opinion. For example when some people in the past knew others had posted heartfelt things they turned around either on the same thread or another, and made crude jokes about those things; such as certain ailments, body size, looks, etc.,and even death. It just seemed too often to me to be obvious they were making fun of the persons who had posted concerning serious things. There are mere coincidences and there are sly unkind jabs at folks too. Or maybe just not thinking before posting.------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> .☆¨¯`♥ ¸.☆¨¯`♥ ¸.☆¨¯`♥ IP: Logged |

LEXX,What is better: passive aggressive? or aggressive aggressive? AD has posted in numerous threads about how her husband survived because she had another kid. She has three kids already. Doesn't he care about the three kids he already has? It just gets weirder. How can I not say something? Just something? I dont want to say any more, and i didnt want to say this much. But if you want to focus on that, instead of on what wheels did... Trying to BREAK UP A SOUL UNION isn't something Linda Goodman would look very fondly upon, is it? Enough with the lectures. I won't hear a word of it until one of you puts wheels in her place. She came into a thread of mine, a poem I wrote, -- not offensive, just my p.o.v., and began attacking me for stuff that had already been resolved. The other day she called me a "tosser" and a "joke". I didn't bother Randall with that, or with the horrible and HIGHLY personal things Ghani said about me, in all caps, which I practically ignored altogether. But this time, Wheels AMBUSHED my thread, out of the blue. There can't be a clearer instance of ambushing a thread, can there!? Here's what she posted to me and my fiancee: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/wheelsofcheese/untitled-1.jpg Clearly referring to me, as she was in the whole thread, until she said this crap to Yin, who has always been kind to her: wheels of cheese Knowflake Posts: 1457 From: Registered: May 2009 posted April 29, 2010 12:17 PM Pass moi a sick bwag issit? If wuv is sanctioning the behaviour of your poopkinchops who finks it's ok to threaten to kill his widdle self over an opinion he duddn't agwee wiv den you have my bwessing. Awww. You so cute. IP: Logged This is how bullies talk!!!!!!! all this condescending babytalk. And she's saying these things to someone who treats her far better than her behavior deserves. Yin told her once to stop, after wheels posted these: wheels of cheese Knowflake Posts: 1449 From: Registered: May 2009 posted April 29, 2010 09:04 AM Aww, poor baby. I know the place you're looking for. It's called www.misunderstood-self-proclaimed-genius.com They're waiting for you there! God speed! IP: Logged That was wheel's first post, after things had been resolved, she comes in and her first words to me are typical bully words: "Aw, poor baby". Sends me a fake URL, an insult. She also, in her second post, i think, sent a link to an article about abusers, and a woman trying to get through to her sister. I think it was called: "What Does She See In Him?" She later deleted this link. You can see my first few responses to her. They were reasonable and restrained. I tried to redirect her to a poem that was more optimistic, about reconciliation, and I thought it might be more to her taste. Nope. She keeps going for a few posts, unable to let up, then: wheels of cheese Knowflake Posts: 1449 From: Registered: May 2009 posted April 29, 2010 10:05 AM No, I'll stick with the burger king. If I had to get on a boat every time you were a complete **** to someone I'd spend my life at sea. IP: Logged It's censored, so, i can only speculate that she is now calling me "a complete sh!t". Do I need to go on? I don't think so. How about I just sum up her insults: "tosser", "joke", "poor baby", "complete **** ", and "smug, narcissistic, worthless sack of sh!t" Is this all perfectly fine now, or should something HAPPEN? This woman just tried to break up a pure soul union for her own selfish and twisted reasons. What would Linda think of that? I may have a temper, but I don't have a guttermouth, or half as much viciousness as this woman has. It's a little scary.

No one should be a new Mod there's already two on here..is that not enough, people should be responsible for themselves and and their actions, be a bigger person and have the heart to realise when you've hurt someone's feelings or made a mistake or just admit that you were in a cantankerous mood that week.I guess I just don't like authority in any form, not to say I do not follow rules well because I do..I just do not like the feeling of someone treating me like a mindless stubborn idiot who has no control over their behavior or actions..

 Valus... I was talking in general terms...based on my own experiences and what I have observed in the past... And I would p!ss too many off if I were mod here at LLC2 because I would enforce the rules to the letter. LOL!LindaLand would become a ghost town and most everyone would hate me. I did not make the rules, but until Randall changes them, I would do my best to apply them. So chill out.... I am not going to be mod in this forum. PS. I have been rather shocked at many posts to say the least, angers justified or not. I find it all quite disturbing.  ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

Question:If there are already two mods here, and we don't need any more mods, then how come I've seen Yin request her Denim Debate thread to be locked at least twice, and nobody did it?? Just wondering... As far as the other stuff, seriously... Don't you guys think it's a little bit trifling? Are you gonna remember this on your death beds, cause if not, just let it go man, life is too damn short! IP: Logged |

I'm just coming back for a few seconds, because I actually woke up thinking about this thread.I didn't add Wheels of Cheese to my list of moderator suggestions, because of the arguing that was going on the other day, and the fact that she isn't at the site as regularly as she once was. I don't even know if she's going to come back. Reasons she would be good: She's friendly with practically everyone here, down-to-earth, and contributes an awful lot wherever she goes - not only would she bring the fun back to LLC/FFA, that some have mentioned is missing (Gypsee hasn't been the only one to mention it), she takes the time to try to help people, and put them at ease, if they're troubled or in need of advice. I've really been impressed by her. (The same reasons I though of Unmoved: all of the above, and she has a good heart.) The only thing against her is that she doesn't remain calm with Valus. I haven't read the rest of the thread, I just wanted to post this, because I posted my other choices. (And, for the record, I don't think anyone here is a tosser. We all have our moments.) Insults have been thrown back and forth - personally, I thought it was great, (early) last week, that Valus and Wheels were getting along. *edit. I came in here to edit this, and saw Gypsee's post above. I was thinking the same thing, on both counts. I used the "contact us" form to request that Yin's thread be closed, since she'd requested it be done, and nobody has locked it. IP: Logged |

You can actually see that for yourself: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/001228.html I wanted to say that I am impressed by all the Fire ladies on this thread - they have been very compassionate, clear-minded and forgiving. Those are qualities I don't readily associate with Fire, but ladies, you're the best. Maybe a Leo or an Aries will be a good moderator here? A Saggie?  IP: Logged |

I'll just add my two cents here. I don't know what happened/ has been happening between Wheels and Valus. I do not judge her- I have not had the chance to get to know her. I only posted that Stephen King quote on that thread because it had popped into my mind all of a sudden, and I felt an urge to do so. I sometimes do things like that without knowing why.  It may have seemed like I was taking sides, but I wasn't really intending to get involved. For whatever reason, Wheels felt angry but in my opinion that was not the right way to go about solving it. I like Valus and consider him a friend, but I didn't mean anything personal against Wheels, even though on that particular occasion she wasn't be very nice.  GypseeWind, well said; life is too short. Maybe we should look at things this way. I don't know what other people's opinions are on the subject of "free will", but I know Valus has thought deeply about it. My own viewpoint on this matter is that "free will" does not exist in the way people generally think it does. Human beings are not rational creatures. We are, all of us, governed by unconscious urgings that stem from each of our individual upbringings/ conditioning/ experiences. The only way that we break free of these is to become aware of them, and in this way, grow beyond them, choosing other ways, gaining wisdom. Human beings think of themselves as so great because we have all this technology....yet there clearly is so much we do not understand, about ourselves. I think to realize that the way we interact with each other is the result of the way each of us has been conditioned, and how each sees and feels...is a step toward learning not to get attached to/ identify with the negative actions/ reactions that we sometimes experience in life with other people. It is only a result of each of our programming. It is due to our struggle to understand one another. Deep down, we all want the same. Happiness. Happiness with each other as we struggle to evolve in our co-created/ consensus reality. IP: Logged |

It's this sort of rude comment I'm referring to. What's the point of that? Trying to make it seem nice by putting up a blue heart doesn't make it less rude. quote: AD has posted in numerous threads about how her husband survived because she had another kid. She has three kids already. Doesn't he care about the three kids he already has? It just gets weirder.How can I not say something? Just something? I dont want to say any more, and i didnt want to say this much.
Again, what's the point of this rude comment? It was only one, the denim debate, when I was pointing out to you that making broad sweeping statements, can cause misunderstandings because life is sometimes more complicated than black and white. ------------------ We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general.

I patiently outlined the comments made by wheels in my post above to LEXX.
You can see for yourself. It's not about holding her temper. She made a full-on assault on my thread. Unprovoked, right out of the gate. I was polite at first, as you can see, if you take a few minutes to read it. But she kept pushing and meddling. The thread is there, and I suggest you take a look before wheels deletes more of what she did -- like the link she posted about abusive boyfriends, "What Does She See In Him?" This is so over the top destructive. I honestly can't remember ever seeing anything this bad here at Lindaland. And the general blindness to it is even more absurd, especially considering the flack I get just for holding unpopular views. I've had my most personal and sensitive issues tossed around like a ball by a bunch of bullies playing "keep away". And I never stooped to anything close to what wheels just did. This needs to be acknowledged. Gypsee,
You are absolutely right. The moderators are missing.  Randall,
I nominate myself.

Valusposted April 23, 2010 04:32 PM kat, Stop following me. Start your own thread. You make things more and more personal. Why do you do that? Shut up about my brain. Shut up about my relationship. Just shut up. 'kay? You don't get me, and you are determined to attack me for everything YOU DON'T GET. It's tiresome. Call your grandchildren. Read a book. Have a life. Don't just target my threads and look for chinks in my armor. I'd debate circles around you, but you havent the sense to know when you're beat. Your stupidity is indestructible. Is that how we should talk to each other? F*cking get lost! You bring out the worst in me. Can you really not satisfy yourself with threads not started by Valus? Is it so hard to enjoy the other threads, or to start a thread or two of your own? I dont think I've confronted you on something important to you ever. But you confront me on every thread I post. What is it with you? You're a troll. That's the only solution. You're a troll that doesn't know how to do anything but pick at someone else's work. That's it, isn't it? What's your sign, anyway? What serious Saturn or Mars affliction is responsible for your dogged persistence in getting in my way every chance you get? F*cking leave. IP: Logged |

the thread with wheels was so edited and chopped up by the time i saw it i had no idea what was going on. except she was objecting to the way you, valus, talk to people who don't agree with you, and to yin presumably for defending you even when she disagrees with you.i don't know what the history is between you two but it seems "you bring out the worst in" her. i thought she was a bit over the top but then i thought your response to me was over the top too. i have seen you using private information others shared with you to stick it to people you were angry with here. things accumulate. instead of walking away you threw oil on the fire. and now that she is NOT HERE TO GIVE HER SIDE you try to get everyone to condemn her. talk to randall about it and stop making it everyone's business. PLEASE
ps. the only time i mentioned your relationship was to point out that if you don't want other people sticking their noses in you should conduct it between yourselves not online. and you got all hot under the collar with me for that, too. IP: Logged |

Kat, I apologize again for that outburst.
You have already heard my explanation. I hope you and everyone here will allow me to retract that brief outburst I once made on a thread of mine, in response to your persistent efforts to capsize my threads. I don't think you are a troll. I don't know why AD would see a reason to drink up water from under the bridge, and try to rekindle fires that have already been put out and built over. If I ever open a thread of yours, like wheels openned a thread of mine, and start attacking you relentlessly, post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post, trying to yank your lifeline away, then, please, speak with Randall, and have me excommunicated from Lindaland. You have my blessing.

It was to illustrate, that I have seen things this bad here, at least twice this week This is all I have to say on this matter. I'm with LEXX, whomever will enforce this, gets my vote, whomever it is: You are free to speak your Minds about anything, but please, use no profanity or personal insults. There will be no censorship here, and freedom of expression and speech rules supreme, but please be courteous and respectful of others while doing so. Linda had a talent for speaking her Mind without offending others. Let's try to do likewise. She was very opinionated, and when we debate with each other in a loving manner, we do her name justice.

kat,Also, Wheels is not here to give her side, because she ducked out w/ her tail between her legs. She knows exactly what she did and is being avoidant, while the sh!tstorm ensues. That much is clear. But she doesn't get off the hook that easily. I'm not going to rehash anything with you. If you cannot see by now that what wheels did is more deserving of a dressing-down than anything I did once upon a time, then you are not objective. Just look at what happened here, will you? Was I attacking wheels? No. Was I even posting on a thread of hers, or trashing a poem of hers? Nope. She called me a "tosser" and a "joke" and my response was "I dont know what you are". The next day she opens up a poem I just wrote and starts trying to tear me and Yin apart. This continues for two whole pages. The abuse she heaps is staggering. A reasonable person can at least admit here that wheels has a serious apology to make. Do it for the right reasons, kat.

You know that song, 'Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover', by, umm, Paul Simon, I believe?Anyway, he says, "..The answer is easy if you see it logically.." SOOOO, the answer IS easy if you see it logically. If someone does not like someone, DON'T OPEN THEIR THREADS!!! I mean, how much easier can it possibly be?? If you see a thread with a provocative title, that you find offensive, and you open it, logic says you will be offended, and then feel the need to defend your stance. This is debating, I get it. Some people get off on it, and some people REALLY get off on it. If you leave LL with a headache, and a stomache, something is wrong. READ WHAT APPEALS TO YOU. WRITE WHAT APPEALS TO YOU, LIKE WILL FOLLOW LIKE, IS IT THAT HARD??? As far as blatant hijacking, that should be a NO NO! And name calling as well, by ANYONE. Treat people how you would like to be treated. NO, I take that back, treat people BETTER, be the bigger person, see how it fits, you might like it. As far as "offensive Material" goes. I think Randall should step in and guide us here. If you are going to post offensive material, please put a disclaimer. It's not fair to have to see something, when you thought you were reading something else entirely... Surely all this is common sense, or have I lost my freaking mind?? *Yin, thanks for the kudos on Fire Girls. It gets old hearing that we have no feelings, doesn't it?? Actually we have very passionate feelings.  IP: Logged |

I, for one do not think we need Mods and yes I am aware that no one locks or moves a thread on request, maybe because the Mods are not our babysitters and should not have to slap us on the wrists when we do something bad.How old does one have to be to discern from bad behavior and good behavior? I think people here on LL have enough responsibilty and self control and are respectable enough to show good behavior on their own. A Mod as never had to get on me for my behavior because I can correct my own behavior and I can tell when I have gone too far or hurt someone's feelings or I was being closed minded. For me personally, it would be sad for a Mod to fix my problems..when I should be old enough at eighteen to fix them myself in real life and online. IP: Logged |

Star Signs, pages 42-45 Linda definitely knew how to make a point. It's sad to think, if she were alive today and started a thread with these words in the post, and nobody knew it was her, and they were her words, she would be subjected to tremendous scorn, and find herself on several Knowflakes' sh!tlists.
