Oh, I'm aware of your agenda, Faith, and it's not anything positive. I do not believe you care about this community, at least not in that it is overshadowed by your dislike of Ami. Ami isn't going anywhere. Two Forums had triggers for her, and I pulled her from them. But she isn't leaving this Forum. She closes threads upon my instruction to do so. I would have closed them myself. If things get contentious, that is what I told her to do. Do you understand that? I approve of her closing those threads. If not, I would have opened them back up. Has she made mistakes in the past? Sure she has. But I'm not going to throw her away over them. You may be perfect, Faith, but most of us here are not. We all make mistakes and learn from them. Ami has grown a lot (by leaps and bounds) and is still learning. That's really all I can ask of someone...to continue to learn, grow, mature, and move forward. Contrast that with you, who are stuck in the past. Get the hint already. You don't like Ami. We get it. We have heard it over and over and over. You really should get past your obsession. It's not healthy. I'm happy with Ami. You might as well face it, you are not going to tell me how to run LL. I am not going to demod her unless I deem so of my own accord. You know this. So, what is your major malfunction? Take a chill pill. Life is too precious to waste it over a futility. If I am mistaken and you do care about this community, then prove it by raising the vibration when you post instead of causing contention. Focus on the positive and what is right and foster healthy vibes here instead of contributing to the negativity. Instead of supporting people like sand who denigrate and insult others, support those who uplift others. Show me that you care about this community. All I see is negativity, obsession, and agendas. Show me some positivity, forgiveness, and motive-free helping of others. Funny how you accuse Ami of baiting when that's exactly what you are doing. Your dislike of Ami blinds you to your own flaws. But I don't expect you to get anything I've said here. Still, for the benefit of others reading, I stated my take on it. The vibe at LL is actually quite good, except for this Forum at times and solely because of you and a couple of others. What does that tell you? You not only see through the lens what you desire to see, but you create the lens. Peace out.

After Faith responds (to be fair), I will close this, as the purpose of the thread was politely declined by Meis...but this is all I have to say on the matter.

Nah, it's fine posting here.

This is about the board atmosphere for the most part (though one member in particular is mentioned here a lot, I agree with Randall on that).

But it's different from this other time... People were fighting in Cappy's thread, right after she'd opened up about a delicate problem she was going through. The difference with that one is that it felt like an excuse to start the mudslinging again. It had absolutely nothing to do or even a tiny link to Cappy's thread.

While this is still related to community problems. So I don't mind. At least not yet.

How about she just close them with a generic reason then?
Instead she gets her last smart@$$ remark in just before closing it... Causing just this sort of thing to happen in the future.

It's HOW she goes about closing them.
Faith wouldn't mention the "former friends" thing if Ami could just close the damn thing instead of getting her last word in.

Many people have that issue by they are not mods who do it and close it.
She's supposed to be an example for the rest of us but we don't like what she's showing us.

On another note (speaking of the community), I'm adding three more Forums.

LL Reference Library

One on synastries and composites with Ceri as Mod (need a name for it and three dedicated Mods who are passionate about the subject matter).

And one to be determined in order to make the total a 36.

36 = 27

27
The Sceptre
This is an excellent, harmonious, and fortunate number of courage and power, with a touch of enchantment. It blesses the person or entity it represents with a promise of authority and command. It guarantees that great rewards will come from the productive labors, the intellect, and the imagination, that the creative faculties have sown good seeds which are certain to reap a rich harvest. People (or entities) represented by the Compound number 27 should always carry out their own original ideas and plans, and not be intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions or opposition of others. 27 is a number of karmic reward, earned in more than one previous incarnation.

I will NEVER respect her until this behavior changes.
I'll more or less leave her alone but here was my opportunity.

I'll post my aspects, but I want things to be open for reading by everyone if that's okay.

There's a lot of great astrologers here.

I think these have to do with my problems:

- Obviously Sun square Pluto -> Sun fire singleton.
- Sun square Dejanira, this asteroid squares my Nodes in H5 (NN) and H11 (SN) as well.
- Chart ruler (Venus) and her dispositor (Mercury) in the 12th house.
- Nessus conjunct Venus in the 12th... I'm of opinion that as this is Venus, a feminine planet, it can also mean attracting the Nessus. Even more as Venus also rules my 8th house.
- Moon conjunct Neptune -> very forgiving and picking up everyone's vibes.
- Moon conjunct Saturn -> I was taught to keep my emotions to myself growing up. It was too much of a bother for my parents.
- Moon opposition Chiron -> for a long time, this even made me feel guilty for showing vulnerability.
- Venus in T-square with Uranus and Jupiter. Open leg being Pisces, again a very forgiving, gentle sign, and the 6th house (service).
- Chiron conjunct the MC (5 degrees) -> when I'm feeling bad about something, it's visible, I can't hide it as it's always out there.
- Saturn and Neptune tightly square Ascendant. Chiron as well.

Double post.


Wanted to get these aspects in before it'd be closed.

DF, go ahead and speak up about it. Thread's gotten towards criticism about the general atmosphere here anyway.

Mods can explain why they are closing it. I prefer that to simply closing it. I'm guilty of just closing without saying anything, but that's really not good. Why don't you let me handle the running of things here, DF? K? From what I can see, you're only sticking around to gripe and complain. You remind me of a cranky old man.

Ummm... No. You haven't looked around enough then.
Also, she gives her explanation a post AFTER getting her smart remark.

You need to pay attention.
K?

I don't like that remark either, Randall. I get that it's hard running a board, it's stressful and impossible to please everyone.

But that remark to DF was unnecessary.

DF, I don't think Ami cares whether or not you respect her. I certainly don't care myself. But I don't object to Ami or any Mod simply closing a thread with no comments. Or maybe just posting to let the Knowflakes know who closed it. Sounds like a fair suggestion. But as for your respect, no one will lose any sleep over a lack of it, I assure you.

Last resorts are insults so it tells me all that I need to know. Thank you though, it wasn't right and not the first time.

It sure speaks to outsiders/newcomers and not in a positive way.

For a leader and webmaster of this website Randall, the way you've responded to both Faith and DF is extremely aggressive and downright rude. This forum is poisonous. Funny how I was deemed "the one who escalated and caused problems" when even after leaving the problem still continued without me even being involved.

Sweet Peas just makes people evil lol...

Dude. . Read.

She says something snarky TO an individual that has NOTHING to do with the closing. Like "If I remember correctly and I think I do, we were never friends. You.... Blah blah"

Next post. "I guess I'll close this now."

How about, "this thread has lost its path and is getting insulting" and close it?

Why the jab at Faith first? In my example, because she does it a lot to many others.

Glad you care!
It seems like your members care about your site more than you do.

Actually, I don't think you care that much at all. I'm beginning to think that I banned summerlite rather hastily based upon you and your girl's prompting.

No, I do or I wouldn't be here at all. That part you've been right about.

I'm voicing issues and others are also, trying to make you aware so problems can be corrected but you're so hung up on your pride that you refuse to listen to even multiple complaints.

And summerlite... I'm not going there. That's just stupid. You know you didn't ban her on our word but what you saw happening.
you better try harder if you want to upset me.

No, I mainly banned her because you said she was attacking the two of you. I only saw one instance of a veiled insult. I will probably give her another chance (to be fair). And I'm not trying to hurt you, pal. You really don't mean enough to me to take the time.

I guess no-one is going to take a look at my aspects now, right?


But wow. I didn't know that many people had problems with the board. Then it's a good thing they have a medium here.

So I can't believe I'm saying this, but please don't close this thread.

Ami, when you close a thread, can you simply post a neutral comment? That seems to be a fair request.
