Why is it so negative and juvenile on here sometimes? I ask a serious question and all the woodlice come out to play cos they think it's fun to pick on the outsider. Well i'm happy to be an outsider because frankly l wouldn't wanna be on the inside with this lot. So fake and nice when they want something and so mean and spiteful when they don't. At least l always bat for the same team and am always REAL.

Does Randall nor any moderators care about the totalitarian side to this wonderful site?

The internet is to blame, Lara
Seriously, tho - call me a snob or an elitist, but it seems like LL is attracting more and more people who:
1. don't really care about astrology and don't want to learn any more than "do Geminis get along with Capricorns?" or "is he my soulmate?"
2. only come to LL to chat about inane things instead of discuss serious topics
3. are not really interested in self-growth or learning something new in regards to esoteric or spiritual matters

LL didn't used to be this way. That's probably why a lot of the veterans have departed or don't come here much anymore - it's too depressing

Sorry, you struck a nerve

Lara, 'Zala,

Someone should start a Facebook group called
"LL Catty B!tches Who Want To Talk Sh!T"

That might lure some of them away.

i don't know what you are talking about specifiaclly lara, but OBVIOUSLY some are jealous of you for some reason or another. I enjoy you being here and you are one of the genuine people on here who sticks to your guns. don't let em get ya down, whoever it is.

the tyranny does limit my time here also as of late.


however, if we don't feed the troublemaking trolls, perhaps they will go somewhere else where they can get fed. in other words, don't take the bait, my dear.

i know some very nice people have left because some sort of internet stalking from some of our members. thats kinda crappy too. sad actually. hopefully things will get better.

I agree entirely.
How easy it is to be insulting when cushioned by the internet.
Why do people bother to respond to a post if they just want to be obnoxious.
Can't you just go to Youtube?

Lara is not full of sh*t. She can dish it but she will also take it and I have to say, in amazingly good spirit.
I like her. She's funny and forthright and has a high self esteem, which seems to annoy some people.
And we all know why that would be don't we children?

Don't write a reply and then write you suck after it.
Don't try and backtrack by then answering the question properly.
Seriously, just don't bother.

But I agree with Valus. I think a forum called
"I've had a crap day and I would like to beat someone up but I can't do it physically so I shall vent my spleen on the interweb where no one can hit me back and make me cry"

Catchy title huh?

I'm not sure what happened and I have to run out for the day, but Lara, I don't think you are full of sh!t and I think you have to protect yourself from the jealousy and negativity. It just so happens I wrote a quick poem about this very thing over in the poetry forum. You might like it.

to you and try to hold your head high and enjoy your day. Don't let others control your moods. Youre a good girl.

Lara
In getting to know you, I have come to love you very much!
Zala, you know I feel the same about you!
I am honoured to have you both as dearest friends!
And I agree, with all said here.
I have almost left LL several times because of such.
LOL...feel like this at times here ( a bit my husband said to me):
quote:

STRESS: THAT CONFUSION CREATED WHEN ONES

TO CHOKE THE LIVING SHITE OUT OF

SOME AzzHOLE WHO DESPERATELY

NEEDS IT.

EUPHORIA:
The realization that choking the shite out of some azzhole who desperately needs it has resulted in applause from those around you.



Sigh, happens too often here sadly.
Hopefully the new forum will help at least to some degree.

lara you know i know what you mean and i agree with all above who value your forthrightness, your desire to help even when people are rude to you, and your outside-the-box personality in general. chin up darling, don't let the dogs get you down with their whimpering snarls....

some people identify so with their ideas or posts that when someone comes along and tries to challenge them to think a little differently all they can come up with is personal insults...kind of like kids in elementary school playgrounds.

i appreciate your willingness to knock your pretty taurus head against those brick walls but really it's a waste of your energy, and can drag it down, to try to change people who are on the defensive....

unfortunately this sort of thing has come
up time again on this site - as frustrating
and hurtful as it is, the moderators can only do so much...

i guess this is what happens when everyone
is convinced that their way of viewing
the world is the ONLY way...
sorry you were on the receiving end this
go 'round... personally, i enjoy reading your posts

Hey guys,
sorry l left you all in the lurch. I was so disappointed and was already having such a nightmare day that l decided to go for a long walk with my beloved and my dog.

I hear you all.
It's sad Zala, if the internet dredges up all the wannabee flakes It is true though and l don't think you are a snob


Valus - yup, it's not only females though , it's guys too.

CPN - Good call thank you and yeah, l figure it's jealousy cos l stand up for myself and don't give a damn about how i'm viewed although it's just sad that people prefer to bully you down to get a kick out of making themselves feel better, rather than just simply better themselves on their own. The other problem is that some of them aren't trolls, they are liked by their gang and the gang stick up for them. It's really like a playground in here sometimes

Charmainec, i rarely speak to you on here but you seem very fair and pleasant. Thank you. Your quote is something l should bear in mind too.

AbsintheDragonfly -

Bunnies! Exactly, hiding behind the screen is such a pussy thing to do lol
I think some people think they are cool by being obnoxious.
hahaha @"I've had a crap day and I would like to beat someone up but I can't do it physically so I shall vent my spleen on the interweb where no one can hit me back and make me cry" LOL


T, i'll check out your poem. Thank you. I try not to let it control me but when l want to ask a serious question and l get verbal rotten eggs thrown at me l just wonder how LL ever got to be like this.


Randall, it happens a lot!! It's just annoying because l see this as a serious astrology forum and out of respect to Linda Goodman l try to participate in a helpful and involved way, but to some people LL is just a laugh - the kind of laugh that one goes to FB for and it's sad and it's disrespectful to everyone involved with this forum. It's a p1sstake sometimes and it's just unacceptable for some people to just consistently and predictably annoy you on every comment you post.


LEXX yes. Love you,, you amazingly compassionate lionheart.

I know KAT, but my aries just keeps thinking that if l keep getting up and trying again, one time l will break through. Naive really or just plain good-hearted. One or the other. you are right though, l really need to stop it getting to me. Thanks love


LOL that bunny photo made me laugh Absinthe

Emitres, thank you. Welcome to LL!

LOVE is the only TRUTH, spot on CPN and i'm so grateful for all your support cos sometimes l do feel like i'm being singled out on here and generally the LL forum punchbag. It's their loss cos i'm a pretty decent woman really, with a heart of gold and l can forgive anyone as long as they don't persist in heckling or jabbing me all the time. I don't think bulls like to be taunted cos it does make me do uncharacteristic things like get angry. I don't think aries people really do anger, they just avoid it at all costs. At least, l prefer to when l don't have to defend my SELF against untruths.

Sigh. LL makes me sad sometimes, but l suppose it's ever-evolving and changing, not always for the good but ultimately for the greater good, maybe?

I am proud to be here and to know you all as you are ALL of sterling worth and you all rock in your own way, and are all genuine long-term LL members. Thanks for listening to my endless rants about being hen-pecked!
