Too bad you can't *sticky* this thread. I'd hate for months later a new person who, still in the wrong, doesn't understand the zero tolerance in this particular forum. That's really my only concern but I agree to the rule and am glad to see it. IP: Logged |

Is there a way to also put this information on the forum title page? That way, when people read the forum description they are consenting to this rule by clicking on the forum entry link. IP: Logged |

Maybe we could put this in the forum description... or else - make sure the thread stays bumped... IP: Logged |

True! Bold (and bright if possible) to make it pop. And Bella had the same idea I think. Sounds like a plan! If Randall can and wants to make that happen. IP: Logged |

I've given it some thought.To me, this is the culmination and epitome of everything that's wrong with LindaLand. As I argued here. I do not consent. I will not post in this subforum under these terms. All the best to everyone ~ Please do not reply to this post, as I will not be able to reply to yours. Over and out.

Faith, Sorry I compared you to a child. LeeLoo, again I have no idea how I attacked you or others to deserve being called a sheep. Like I said a sheep is someone who follows others and as you can see I don't do that because I go against everyone who watches what we discussed and everyone thinks I'm crazy for talking about animal consciousness. I say things that others don't say which you can think is crazy or not but again your comment made zero sense so you just said it because you were trying to insult me. My comment about your tarot spreads and synastry charts came after you insulted me, and that still was not an insult. I was pointing out to you that doing tarot spreads on pointless subjects which have no real value to a higher power is what you pretty much do everyday. And that is sheep behavior.
What is your definition of a universal truth? A universal truth is something that will always be true and I am not saying I know everything because I am still on earth as you can see, but it is possible to know more than what Freud has taught you about humanity. There I a great deal of truth out there if you care to find it within yourself. There is such a thing as expanding your consciousness passed the limitation that it is today. IP: Logged |

I understand this thread is about new rules and behavior changes. Not another way to reword and attempt to get it passed as an "explaination". I see this, in light of all your recent posts, as another insult.
Like Faith, I`m not seeing how the "subjective insult" is going to work and be fair to all posters. ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

I was responding to LeeLoo and just posted it here... If you think I am insulting people with what I say than everyone insults everyone and there isn't any way to get around that. Anyway I am leaving this forum. IP: Logged |

What I see, as a mod, as an insult, another may not & will let slip it by. That`s the point of my post. Bias`s. Who chooses what a personal insult is? If these questions have been answered clearly, I missed it and please point out the thread for me. ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

Athene, you are getting on my nerves and it is not the best moment to do it. One of the last times we interacted was in PR, where you come almost every day to request for Tarot readings and exchanges, we exchanged one. I believe your question was about how X perceives you sexually. You should have told me back then that your request is a pointless subject with no real value to a higher power and that I shouldn't waste my life with you. I called you a sheep because you entered a protest, sabotaged it and attacked the petition maker although you had the option to write on the anti-protest thread. But I was wrong, I shouldn't have called you a sheep and I just apologized. OK, my apology is not accepted and you had to call me a sheep back. Great, now we can all promote to elementary school, hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Why does it always have to be you, the ones with the higher power speech, who own no mirrors and always offend people?? Have a nice weekend, Athene! IP: Logged |

I'm not sure "insults" are the problem here.What I have seen a lot of is antagonism, elitism, and generalisations. These will always lead to contention. Bias is always going to be a problem, hence why it is important to have moderation that is fair and impartial. I understand Randall encourages personal expression of the mods, it's a nice idea, however, I believe this is in conflict with the role of moderator. A mod cannot really be both impartial/fair and opinionated at the same time. I see it like a team leader, they may well have opinions, but the common goal of the team must always take precedence for outcomes to be met successfully. I think basically there is a conflict of interest when a moderator is allowed too much personal input. I do not say this to be nasty to any mods, I just think the two concepts cannot co-exist, except in the hands of a few who are particularly skilled at maintaining this balance. It is no easy feat. Not all are capable. Good judgement is called to determine those who can strike this balance. Without it, you have direct and indirect abuse of power. IP: Logged |

It isn't, although I wouldn't necessarily look to ban anyone who tried to insult me, successfully or not. I do find it interesting, when this sort of thing is directed at the most obvious targets, but others slip under the radar - maybe it's because people don't say anything, assuming that they're wrong about the intentions of whichever poster it happens to be at the time. People can get away with it, because they don't always post directly to the person, but stir in some other way. As much as I've disliked fighting with a few people here, I at least appreciated when they were direct, rather than being guilty of exactly the sort of thing they're trying to foist off onto others (like being underhanded, and manipulative). (This has nothing to do with anyone in this thread.)
