It's only rude because you choose to view it that way. It's not a harsh criticism; nor is it an insult. Just an observation. It is what it is. You yourself admit that you don't have a thick skin (when you said you are not the only one), so I fail to see how it is rude when you ask me a question, I give you honest feedback, and the reply is what you already know and admit about yourself. How is that rude?

K, I just want to chime in here ... just a lil bit ... if that's ok with you

By saying that you don't have a thick skin, Randall actually means that you're not hardened enough to be able to take all the cr*p that's dished out. And frankly, very often Mods also have to take this cr*ap and handle it as though it doesn't bother them one little bit. But at the same time keep their objectivity about the situation and still see things clearly enough to put out fires when necessary or to take other necessary steps.

To not be hardened enough in life is imo a good thing (so I would take it as a compliment). It also means (at least to me) that you're a sensitive soul who can delve into the psyche of people quickly and know a lot of astrology so that you can help them by teaching them as you have a lot to share. This you do consistently and on a regular basis (which I think is pretty selfless of you--I don't think that's lost on anyone including Randall).

But being hardened in life also means developing a certain "thick" attitude toward life, a "couldn't care less" attitude which is certainly beneficial in some respects, but not in others.

For example, there is danger that in being hardened one may lose one's sensitivity (perhaps even empathy) toward others. For someone who's as psychic and empathic as you are, that may risk the loss of a very essential part of you that makes you who you are.

I think this is why people who are deeply sensitive, such as true psychics and clairvoyants, usually do not make good politicians or administrators for example.

Of course this doesn't mean that in time you couldn't manage both, i.e., Modship as well as what you do now, but I think all he's saying is that "you're not there yet," meaning you haven't yet developed that tough alligator type skin.

I don't want to be assuming the meaning behind Randall's post (or anyone else for that matter), but when I read it, this is how I took it.

So I would take it as a compliment that you're not hardened. Eventually, of course it would be up to you as to how you handle your own energy, but if it were me, I wouldn't want to lose my sensitivity, just to have a thick skin.

Again, this does not in any way mean that you couldn't manage to to both jobs in the future by not changing the sensitivity at all and slowly incorporating the hardening in your surface personality.

Just my 2 cents

Thank you Linda. You are sweet to explain me the hidden sides of Randall's post but again... before telling me that I'm not thick skinned enough to be a moderator on this forum he should check all his mods skin. I am NOT the only one who is like this yet people who are like me are moderators.
