You took the words right out of my mouth, Everlong.Hint; Notice the sentance structure, Distant Drummer? Inappropriate usage of capslock indicates you are yelling.. so you just proceeded to yell at anyone brave enough to read that.
Just in case you didn't realize that. plus, it's kinda harsh on the eyes.  IP: Logged |

'Truth' is subjective. While I honor your truth, it may not be anothers. To shout in caps and to say 'get it' is dictorial and not in the lite of Lindas teachings. Please honor yours-elf, Linda and all here by walking a path of respect for all beliefs  juniperb  ------------------

DistantDrummerKudos to you, my friend You have the passion and the sometimes necessary brutal(not a bad thing) honesty it takes to stand up to a group and duly speak from your heart and soul(and probably correct in being righteously indignant-not merely angry)about the "drama" sometimes rampant where hero-worship and idolatry can be found. Thank you, DistantDrummer, for being BRAVE and not bleating and running with any pack. Which, by the way, are also L.G. qualities as well---being unique and individual and outspoken.

I admire passion and honesty.
I admire those who are unique.
I admire wisdom, beauty, truth.
And as juniperb so aptly put it, truth is subjective.I've not seen much yet to admire in the posts of Distant Drummer, though he or she may be a wonderful person. I know a very brave man who fights for what he believes in, in order to make the world a better place. He does through conviction, and with love and compassion. Those things make him a powerful force. Do you think that Linda, to whom this site is dedicated, would approve of a bully with an agenda? If you don't want to "run with the pack," no problem. Create your own website, where you can be all by yourself, pack-less. Most of the posts here are not at all "doom and gloom," and the accusation of them being so demonstrates a lack of understanding. Righteous indignation? Sure, bring it on. But rudeness? Uh-uh. And frankly, I don't think there's anything to be righteously indignant about. That particular stance, when associated with the posts here, could only belong to Linda. No one accused DD of anything--he has nothing about which to be righteously indignant. To be so, in her name, would be, as you somewhat insulting called it, "hero-worship." IP: Logged |

Oh please, get off Dd's back. What is the big deal. I've heard worse things around here. Who cares if he uses caps or says "GET IT!". Some of us would be so lucky to feel as strongly about something... and not use obsenities while expressing it.IP: Logged |

Obviously, some people do care.Eh. To each her own. Maybe the most important lesson of this thread is that none of us likes a preacher, but all of us want to be one.  IP: Logged |

Alright, I'm sorry. it is obvious that some people do care. But Just supposing that coincidentally or subconciously he left the caps on from a previous project and he hadn't meant to shout at all, it's possible. OR Distantd might have put it in all caps because he/she thought that putting things into caps would make what was being said valid (or something like that), as with Lexigrams. "We" all might be attacking him for no other reason than his saying "get it!".I have a very earnest question.
What is the difference between someone who says: "THIS IS TRUTH!" in all caps (or yelling) and someone who says: "this is truth." in all regular format?
I ask because I think that's an important part of it and because knowlakes assert things that they are representing as truth all the time and they are seldom attacked for it.

I wasn't attacking.
I thought maybe he/she didn't know ettiquette on forums.. maybe he/she was excited. Maybe he/she was angry, or wanted to get their point across. Passion is a great thing.. I was just pointing out ettiquette (not that I'm any Ann Landers.) I was simply pointing out something, so that after that, the choice could be made as to whether he wanted to still use caps or not, in that it does come across as shouting or angry. Subtle internet manners. To make everyone's reading experience more palatable. What are emoticons for, if not to express emotions you don't get through facial expressions or voice intonations.. the use of punctuation and grammar must be thought about, as it is how you present yourself.
I agree that lately this subject of attacking and defending is coming up with greater frequency. Like any other facet of life, people have opposing views and we always will. Sometimes I will defend with compassion and insight or humour, sometimes I will be bitter and rude. That goes for anyone. It does depend on past run-ins with that person, just like in real life... or with whether I am pre mentrual ( as in real life) or whether I am having a good or bad day. Maybe My finger was burnt on the oven. Maybe my boss yelled at me unprovoked. We all have experiences outside of here, and in any interaction, it is bound to show through. That just proves we are all people. Here to share and learn and be friendly and open our eyes. Sometimes through opposing views.
It will pass, the next convo will be beautiful... the one after that crap.... it's all good.IP: Logged |

I personally wasn't offened by the all-caps issue. I guess some people are sensitive to that sort of stuff? I tend to be more sensitive to things like foul language and intolerance ... yelling in writing doesn't have a big effect on me by itself. We all have our own little quirks I guess.
Also, I guess I'm just more accustomed to reading in all-caps because of the lexigrams forum. Maybe the word druids feel more important when they are capitalized, lol.  IP: Logged |

Why would you apologize for it? It wasn't that bad.. possibly a tad confrontational, and one sided (show me an opinion that isn't!!) I WAS JUST SAYING IT WAS LOUD.. LIKE THIS..SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

I believe the semantics behind the debate of Linda Goodman's mortality are about as significant as the argument over the Christ's return to the planet.It's a whole lot of speculation with very little tangibility, and almost ZERO practical application. Isn't the important part the teachings, the words, and what you learn from either one?

silverbells, I love you and respect you. Maybe we can just carry on now.... This wasn't the only thread where I thought DD was being less than respectful...there is another where he addresses knowflakes by saying HELLO! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THIS! And as MK pointed out, the status of Linda is unkown. Personally, to repeat myself from another thread, I prefer people to be respectful. I will absolutely defend anyone's right to an opinion! I just prefer not to be yelled at or insulted. I used Dafreman as an example--he has very strong opinions that often don't reflect those of other knowflakes...but he offers them, and we discuss them with respect. In any event, it's all about light and love, so let's all carry on. IP: Logged |

I saw frustration. It's hard when you see what you believe to be the truth and no one else does. You just wanna shake them and scream at them !
Distant drummer just had the guts to do it ! I wish I could grab people and shake them and say "Life isn't hard, life is whatever you want it to be, You are capable of ANYTHING"...
And hey, they wouldn't be beliefs if we didn't feel so strongly about them !
If Linda is alive, I wish she had some way of making it safely known IP: Logged |

So, why did Linda leave us?She had so much more to do. So many issues to be discussed in her forthcoming books, some of them to be presented as science-fiction, and a children's astrology book, as well as founding an astrology school in California. But she disappeared into the ethers, just like that. Since she had discovered the mystery of physical immortality and also stated clearly that once you've become an immortal, you'd better use a new identity and live a new life...was this what actually happened to Linda? Only happy people can become immortals. Which means, among other things, you forgive your enemies, you stop killing (by becoming a vegetarian...although it does not take you five years to completely give up meat), you stop numbing yourself with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs...and let go of everything. But how can one be truly happy when there are tragedies in one's life (in Linda's case, her missing daughter, Sally) which one can never get over? I still wonder why Linda decided to leave us without completing her projects. She 'died' at the age of 70, which reduces to the number 7, a spiritual number. I have a strange feeling that, somehow, Linda is somewhere out there, living a different life...she's a Guru now...you never know... ------------------

Don't wanna perpetrate a war in semantics. Perhaps I was a bit harsh, I did not intend to be harsh. I was judging(a no-no) by crowd pathos. I'll take a look at my part...I personally do not believe Linda achieved immortality. I lean more towards the idea that she, by way of SSC, found one of her 'pieces'. One who has not had the horrific events happen to cloud her whole objective. One should keep in mind the extreme subjectivity she had about things.
Also, DD was right about "some crazy U.S. government son of a gun will hunt you down and really kill you!"---to a point, well from the govs. standpoint, they didn't need to outright kill her, eh?She was considered 'crazy' as it was. She was already cast out, by her own peers at that. Has anyone ever noticed that other astrologers-in their books etc., Linda gets NO credit, at all? Even owners of metaphysical bookstores that I've gone to inquire about L.G. pretty much roll their eyes at the mention of L.G.'s name. She has been made a scapegoat in many areas, a crank and a loon. Heck, even Madame Blavatsky was considered these things too, back in her day. The greatest ones always are. Doesn't make their teachings any less valid. Somehow, to have the wisdom of Adept-ship and to attempt to live comfortably in this 3D and be of mundane and worldly sense do not mix well.
I've always greatly admired Miss Goodman, however, after some years of looking objectively at her herself, I have found that she many times and in many ways deluded herself, thus lived in utter denial of many truths about her own life. As for the rest of the hooplah, here and now, if it doesn't apply, let it fly. Hey! DistantDrummer. You live pretty much down the street from me. E-mail me, 'k?

dear sartai,
it seems to me that you have issues with believing in physical immortality. its possible that you might be quite sceptical about living over 150 yrs. i guess maybe you really dont believe in the miracle of christs ressurection. thats totally cool.but Linda Goodman traced her steps of her own path in her words. the path of jesus is written in the aquarian gospel, the bible and in the akashic records. to believe in their words and in their own accomplishments is like respecting anyones word you see as worthy of your belief. Linda Goodman has earned that much respect from me. i cant speak on everyones behalf. but i can thunder down a righteous blow of my own hearts truth upon you all! IP: Logged |

Righteousness. Self. Has a bite to it, doesn't it? It's the aftertaste that really gets to you...  We can all elevate our personal beliefs into universal truths. Doesn't make 'em so, though. Seriously, no one is engaged by bullying. And that thunder stuff? No thanks, I've deflected worse, by much better communicators. I think Sartai brings up some interesting points...and he extended an arm of friendship to you, only to have it slapped away. Play nice. There's room for everyone in the sandbox. IP: Logged |

pixelpixie, I know what you are saying about how different events during the day will have an impact on how we will act or react around here or anywhere. I just worry that maybe people get caught in their own feelings and motivations and forget to think about others people's feelings and motivations. I'm not preaching or being sef-righteous either, ThankYou . trillian -  - as always. Not everybody thinks that being respectful entails the same actions. Some people think that as long as there is a discussion it is okay to be as strong as you want to be (see the air signs) in the interest of getting a point across through irony or whatever, and that people should not take it personally. I get offended by things too, obviously, but if people are strong with their words (as long as their are no personal insults) how could they be asked, in good conscience to change their very nature so as not to offend others? ------------------
