Yes, the number of "shoulds" that we're talking about in this thread are beyond counting. If "should" meant anything here, the site would be a lot different. And honestly, people can twist anything into a personal insult if they're overly sensitive, misunderstand, or don't get another person's humor. So yes, name calling "should" call for a warning, but shoulda coulda woulda... Meh. Got stuff to do...  IP: Logged |

or) a different kind of langauge where she is insinuating one thing, just to get you to see something else, such as "im number 1" just so you'll see she's in the top 5, (even though not 1) what that is called i dont know. IP: Logged |

quote: Originally posted by Randall: First, this is a discussion board. It is in honor of Linda Goodman. Yes, she was an Astrologer, but she wanted to be remembered as a poet and a writer. As such, this is not an Astrology site (just look at all the Linda-centered other Forum titles here), and it's definitely not a boring technical Astrology site. There are plenty of those on the Net, and I can barely stand being at one of those for more than a short time. Second, saying one person's discussions are more important than any others' discussions would be the antithesis to what Linda stood for (and what Lindaland stands for), which is free expression. For example, some here may think Vedic is not worthy of serious discussion, and so on and so on. If you don't like anyone's brand of Astrology, simply avoid those threads. I'm not sure why people want to pass so many restrictions on free expression, but that would definitely destroy LL. The only restriction on free expression at LL (aside from the usual no spam and no porn rules) is to avoid personal insults. I personally don't agree with a lot of stuff posted on LL. But I agree on everyone's right to express what they believe. Third, the problem with all of those extra proposed Forums is that no one would post in them. We have too many as it is. I'm open to adding one more, Advanced Astrology, IF it can be decided as to what would actually qualify as advanced.
Good to see you here Randall! I think an Advanced Astrology forum is a great idea, but yes, we do need a definition. -----------------------------------------
Guys, what is everyone's opinion on the guidelines/definition for an Advanced Astrology forum?
---------------------------------------------- ETA: I don't think anyone was saying that some people's *discussions* are more important than others. IDK, it may have gotten lost in the fray, but it was my understanding that it was information being stated as fact that was not fact, and not being corrected when this was pointed out. This isn't a "brand of astrology" issue, it's an accuracy of information stated as fact issue. IP: Logged |

LOL at this entire thread. Some of you need to get off of your computer and go outside, go shopping, anything! Seriously.Kannon McAfee is wise. I would never, ever pay for the services of any astrologer that is arguing in this thread. it is such a turn-off especially when a lot of people hold you to a higher standard. IP: Logged |

I'd advocate against banning you because I think it would be trivial to ban someone for calling them a liar honestly. Plus the forum wouldn't be as enjoyable without you hanging around  ------------------ Scorpio Ascendant Aquarius Sun in 4th Gemini Moon in 8th Check out my blog ya'll: www.electrodgxtalks.wordpress.com IP: Logged |

Calling Faith a coward, as a PERSON, is an insult, Ami. If you can dish it out, you can take it. Calling Faith (and others, as I've seen you do) low in character AS A PERSON is an insult. Personal insults that you, Ami, have insulted members here with. Again. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. Expect people to critique your articles with the same diplomacy as you critiqued the Juno article. Does it feel good? No? Then don't conduct yourself that way unless you're willing to accept the same from others without throwing a tantrum and screaming "WITCH HUNT!!! RANDALLLLLLLL! I'M TELLLLINNNNGGG!!!!!" Own your behavior, or at least accept the same back from others. IP: Logged |

I wanted to thank you and urge you to correct the mistakes (this is admitting mistakes should encompass : you have to also correct them, the data is still there) but then I read "if I made astro mistakes" does not equal to "I made astro mistakes", you still haven't admitted to anything. My Virgo Moon and Scorpio Venus can't let this go. IP: Logged |

Hi again Randall I loved your quote about the art of avoidance, quite a precious art, under certain circumstances However, I must say an outspoken support of accuracy and integrity in approaching astrology (no acceptance of identified inaccurate astrological data) and the power for us to correct out mistakes as a general rule (why not a disclaimer?) has become an important moment for me here, since as I said, astrology for me starts with consulting the charts. I just want to know if I can fit here

@ Tulipe I talk in intuitive terms like someone "feels* like a certain ASC, like a "classic" for that ASC. I won't do that anymore on here.I thought I saw various people with certain ASC's but I was wrong on many of them cuz when I looked again, it said time unknown. So, maybe, some people did the charts with the times rectified. I don't know but believe me, I won't be putting on any of those articles any time soon.

there it is. so we can move on i guess. if there are more errors, we'll correct them, and if they keep happening 3+ times per article, something more is going on, it's not that hard to fix. or take a second to double check just type up "celebrity name birth chart" and it'll pop up. accurate info with astrotheme and astro.com (sometimes astrotheme doesn't have a good source, but astro usually does) IP: Logged |

Hello, Knowflakes! Happy Holidays!  I just got through this thread, some very valid points were made and I've thought a lot about the misinformation issue, when and where to step in. I think what works best for us are reference links. Voix, I hear you.  quote: I personally don't agree with a lot of stuff posted on LL. But I agree on everyone's right to express what they believe.
