Lindaland has been my internet home for 5 years.After lurking for a year I finally registered on 11/11/2005
I did not find the courage to post for over a month. The Astrology page was was my main focus, and quickly I found a 'friend' Azalaksh,
Rarely did I post anywhere else, after 2 years I graduated to Free For All with Mirandee, and BlueRoamer, AcusticGod, SoloneStar, shop22much, Moon666Child, pixelpixie, fayte.m, sue g, Happy Dragon, The Mutable Night Force, Aphrodite, proxieme, Heart--Shaped Cross, TheEvolution, ListensToTrees, juniperb and others being major contributers.
While my focus remained on the Astro-page I finally explored the rest of the site. What diversity! What knowledgeable, kind, and evolved people! I was humbled and delighted. There were arguments at times but the literate and adult natures quickly resolved most rough spots, there were 1 or 2 times every year where a major fracas ensued, usually with one bad seed at it's heart, flaming and a very occasional banishment [Lotus]
The phrase "true colors" was/ is wielded in guillotine fashion during these times. A phrase I dislike to this day....
as in: well, they
showed their true colors being the strictest condemnation a fellow flake would make.
Without writing a book here I would just like to say that change has never been the issue with this most current house cleaning. Change is inevitable, and we all know that. Change is not a problem, direction can be/ is.
I am going out-on-a-limb here and broadly state that fellow-flakes---least of all those who posted regularly in the Godzalla threads--- dislike an 8th House themed folder on this site. In fact they would welcome it as a good idea.
There is a problem inherent with those themes however. I feel that those areas of our life are the most sensitive. In simplistic terms: Sex, money, death, religion, and taxes
The themes require delicacy, maturity, and openmindeness. few of us have all of those qualities in tandem-- on any given day-- in a consistent fashion. There would be a need for a strong outline and direction that comes from the top down-- with good management-- and a staff of moderators up to the task.
With out a sticky the protocols for the folder and rules for posting have to stay on top, so to speak.
From the very first with a raft of thread titles to include
- How do you attract a Scorpio
- How do you attract a Taurus
I knew we were in for trouble. I was disappointed, in a "it could have been a contender way"...
sigh.I was here that night before most of the deletions, and decided it was time to move on. I saved the purple posts and a few others.
After 2 days I had calmed down and clicked on LL to read. I opened to Lara posting for purple. Then the lockdowns ensued once more.
So, without having DD or Diandra's or Izo's addy for the Yahoo page they created.... I would like to know if anyone could post it for me?
Thanks!
Happy Holidays
