Well, you've been thinking wrong. You actually remind me of myself. I've had to learn to restrain myself (being the make-shift leader of this place), but I'm a bit of a firecracker myself. You are very welcome here. I just think that sometimes you don't realize you are being negative, and I don't mean to single you out as the only one--I just address you, because I know how you (like myself) try to think positive to attract positive experiences.

I don't have a problem with people disliking each other, wanting to call out, etc.

But these threads are so unnecessary. Why be so public about it? Don't most here have each other's email addresses? It just screams attention seeking behavior.

Randall I know you feel the same way about the "Goodbye I'm leaving LL" threads but the difference with that is people are just trying to let others know what happened to them. I didn't even know Diana left until I scrolled a little further down on LLC2 and saw her closed thread.

At least put this type of stuff on LLC2.

If I am ****** with LEXX, I will not create a thread called "I'm upset" and put inside "LEXX I hate you." I will email LEXX and say what I have to say. That is maturity. Why add the negativity and drama to the forum and involve people who have nothing to do with it? And if I don't have her email address, either I can ask for it or ask what about me would make someone not want to exchange something like an email address with me since we are all supposedly such spiritually enlightened beings?

And don't use the "you don't have to click" argument. Of course we will click. It doesn't even say "To FC, BA, etc. etc." It draws you in and then you are caught up in it whether you wanted to deal with it or not.

Just my .02. This was totally unnecessary. Like FC said, we could have just revived the last one.

There are actual victims and there are real victim mentalities. It would be noteworthy to look the difference of the definitions up and and see what is happening here

I have never,sincerely never, seen a person victimized here in Lindaland. Mods nor Randall would allow it.

Merry Christmas knowflakes!!

Dear Bear,
Perhaps you did NOT have a negative tone toward me with the "Christy" thing.
It seemed and felt negative based on my gut.
However, I am sure I can be wrong. I will accept your word that it was just a friendly objective offer that I seek out Randall for aid.
I accept your offer to treat me with respect in the future and I will do the same.

You still cannot admit fault can you? What you keep doing, by lumping me into a catagory of those that victimize you, is actually making me the victim to your tirades.

You make false accusations and then you do not have the character to apologize for those accusations. If posting the truth to you means I am being negative then there is a bigger issue brewing.

You made an outright accusation towards Christy (I don't know her and have never met her until that thread and I do not condone some of what she said to you). I did not take sides in that matter, however, since I DID read her link I found that you accused her without taking the facts into consideration.

Consider this your warning from me. I have had it with you calling me out for no reason. I will take this up with Randall if it continues.

To add to that Ami- I am done speaking with you on this thread. I have made my point clear and backed it up with facts.

I will offer you ONE thing. That is respect as an LL member
That is what I am prepared to offer and all I am required to offer.
If you do the same ,we will be fine.
Merry Christmas to you, Bear.

Truthfully, I did not see Bears attack or insult you, Ami, and she has come to your defense at times also.

FC, thank you for seeing yourself objectively. It's tough. I have to hold my tongue almost every day of my life. But there's merit to turning the other cheek. We have to pick our fights. Some things are worth throwing a punch (defending a child or a woman from physical abuse, for instance), and some things it's just best to ignore. Choosing the right battle to devote our energy and effort toward isn't an easy thing to decipher, especially when the cloud of anger rises and obstructs one's vision.

Thanks, Juni! And for the record, I'm glad this string was started, because now FC knows I am not averse to her being here. Actually, there's no one here at Lindaland who should feel unwelcomed, and if I ever make anyone feel that way, let me know. I have nothing against anyone here.

I am unsure about Bear.That is why all I can offer is mutual respect ,at this moment.
IF I am wrong, which I hope I am, it will be proven out with time

absolutely randall. your words i know well as i say it to myself quite often.

i know my limits. and am indeed working on what i know to be MY issues.

the first one i let go...i do TRY to do the right thing, but i also know that i am not the one to mess with overmuch, as i do have a tendancy to just go for the kill, when the color red comes over me....then all i see is red and go straight for the kill.

i know myself very well, faults and all.

do you think i want to fight to the death over something that does not matter? not really, and yet i know if someone tried to take as much as my wallet,, i would fight to the death. over what? something that didn't matter in the whole big picture.

26t asc and lilith conj mc can be quite some strong energy to overcome. ask anyone with a sun or asc or node on 26t or worse yet mars.... gut reaction is choke em out...the fact that i fear no man on top of it, does not bode well at times for common sense and knowing when it's best to walk away.

Randall is a quality person,a rare person you can find VERY few places.
I think we can all agree on THAT.
That is a good point of agreement.
Merry Christmas to you all

I was just reading Anne Ortelee`s full moon/ingress report and these paragraphs reminded me of this thread:

The Lunar Eclipse has a mutable cross between Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius next to the North Node of saying your wisdom about what you want, Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces helping that wisdom change into what you want, Moon in Gemini next to the South Node of releasing letting go of the stuff that doesn’t work for you any more, opposite Juno in Virgo answering to Mercury in Sagittarius.

Essentially, you are going to see what you’ve been partnering with and decide you need to change it up and into some NEW, different or perhaps only a slightly revised version of what you have. Revise, redo, revision. And then, once you are clear, announce it to the world in a big, bold statement. Yes I know Mercury is retrograde but you have to start someplace. You have a vision of what it can be so start there. Just be clear about what you want to accomplish or what you want in your life.

Thanks, Juni. You rock!

FC, when some bozo gets in my face, it ain't easy trying to take the high road. I do a good job at it most of the time. But sometimes people just don't understand anything but a painful wristlock. Still, I try to resolve things peacefully as much as possible.

Is it really your b-day tomorrow, Abs?

Speaking of change, Lindaland has undergone some change recently. Not everyone will jibe with those changes, and that's okay. We can't please everyone. But if any of those who left still miss us, then I wish they would just "let go," release the ill feelings, and return. Lindaland continues to grow/mature, and I sometimes feel like it just does so on its own. I'm just along for the ride. Lindaland really seems as if she's alive.

The high road really isn`t so "high" It`s just one step above our ego

If you blink twice, take 3 deep breaths and put on one smile ... there it is, right in front of you!
