You asked so I shall answer. First its obvious that her methods are manipulative. Its obvious that she uses trickery , its obvious that she lies. She even cuss , sideways and that slides right by. **arse** She has over 13 threads on this board alone. You don't see me go in her threads.
You know real talk, from one Sister to another, there are many of us right here on this site that can be/have been accused of these things. To some degree, i think you may have been accused of these things as well, and believe me when i say, some of our actions are very suspect and fall in line with the accusations made. It's like, when you have a mission, a great purpose, a passion that must be brought into light, why spend your time combating those whom u feel only objective is to disrupt, destroy, and ridicule your efforts? That time spent doing so can and often will be the major factor which lays your whole objective/purpose out. Your message becomes lost and/or delayed because someone has lost the focus of their purpose.
If we are to ban or suspend everyone who are accused of the actions above, we might as well shutdown site, closed the doors, and never look back. For many will not pass the test for those accusations.
This site/discussion board is for all of us to utilize, learn, understand, and share with each other. When a thread is posted here, everyone is welcome to add to it their own perspective and thoughts on what they think/know of a giving subject. It's when that adding of thoughts become personal, disrespectful, and combative with one another, it loses...we lose...and the purpose of that passionate contributor becomes lost and dismantled. All because one allows another to distract them from their well intended information/purpose. IMO the only true person that can disrupt that flow of information is you.
While you may feel the need to combat those who u feel are a disturbance to your cause, whatever happens to your message, your purpose? Think about it, it has falls to the wayside, and those who are reading/ready to learn and understand are put on hold. They will move on not reading or hearing the important information you have for them.
Yet, she is allowed to disrupt this one and the one prior that Bro Decipher created. The message that is sent is................ You can't openly discuss astrology without this kind of intrusion and attacks. And because she is allowed to do what she does, Yes, I fault the entire site.
You can look through this thread, and the other one. Respect is not in her vocabulary. She attacks all that disagree with her..
She has done no more or less than what you have done when adding your own voice and/or opinion. She has no monopoly on the discussion of astrology here. That is furthest from the truth. Yes, this may be one of her greatest area of interest, but she stops no one from discussing or adding their own interest to the subject. We are not here to suppress the voices of our people. Admins and Mods are here to maintain a level of respect and peace that often gets forgotten when some become so passionate, they turn to their brother/sister to rip them out of the way. I've not looked through most of this thread Sister, but that which i did, i saw two Sisters demonstrating a lack of respect for one another. I did not see just one Sister.
And Sister, I am not you. And I mean no disrespect. That's the third time an mod or administrative member mention that I or who ever can just leave. I saw it 5 times prior.
But that goes without saying. It's called "Free will". Because it's repeatedly stated, Screams volumes TO ME and that in itself goes against your headlined quote.
It's easy to liked, loved, be brotherly and sisterly when we see eye to eye . The work comes in when we don't.
It's about the principle more so then the topic itself. Give me the violation if I break the rules but all I ask is that you are fair about it.
And I am sorry. I have nothing against no mods But it is what it is.
I'm disappointed , Yes. But neglected , Nawwwwwwww. lol I feed myself , so I don't look to be fed here. Nor is she the majority. I am here to learn from other people perspectives and I have.
No, you are not me, yet we are connected in a way no other culture of people can understand. I most certainly would not go into another house, take my shoes and coat off... eat at their table... all the while insulting and negating the hospitality giving to me as i critique the color of their walls....the whole arrangement of their furniture....the dust they've missed on the lamp shade. No, i would not stay when so much is disappointing and beneath my tolerance of what is acceptable. I would not wait until i'm thrown out, i would walkout and leave them to their own demise. For what is it that i can learn from those who has done nothing but disappoint me? What information can i offer the residents of that poorly ran house when the residents themselves are disruptive?
To love my people don't mean that it comes easy. But As long as I am here, I will state my honest POV and give my perspective and put the information down. Proof when needed and when possible. Because the more we know, the more we learn the more we will apply and exercise. That gives us a real hope for real peace in an broader sense.
As Sister Destee has learned this time and time again. She is here to build a unity amongst all our people who cares to build this unity. She is not here to judge their perspectives, opinions and/or failures. Her purpose is to bring together a people who has been robbed of their identity and seek a refuges to express, learn, and teach with one another in spite of our differences. She's in a constant motion of learning, growing, and moving forward. She will not halt or waiver her purpose at any disruptions, disagreement, and/or dislike of her ability to bring about such purpose. All the while, hearing, loving, and working very hard to remove the distractions that keep us from respecting, loving, and working together.
While your honest POV is definitely welcomed here, and we encourage that you share nothing less, i must say, the time you have took to discredit what she is trying to do, the time you have took to critique all that is not being done ( please forgive me if i missed it somewhere) but where is the love shown to the hard enduring effort and the sacrifices she had given to maintain this space for us to do just as you so freely done (state your honest POV and give your perspective and put the information down)? Where is the upliftment for that? One might think your contribution to this site has been nothing more then a disruption. Yet you are still here. And believe me, it is not solely based on your choice alone. She could have blocked you out with trolls that venture this site. Her love for our people is a tolerance that has definitely gone above and beyond many who frequent here. It may not be perfect! It may not run as you would like it to be ran! You may blame the site owner and management for the disruptions found here, but i blame us. Those who make her purpose that much more difficult to reach. She has done more than provided a platform to build on, but many of us won't/can't see those sacrifices made. So we judge and discredit to show just how much more smarter and accurate we are without ever sacrificing one thing for her cause.
Be you and do what you think is best for the site. I do what I think it's best overall.
A whole lot of my people I don't agree with, and even more I probably dislike. And I can still gain from them. TO ME the value in our people is not what we share alike but in our differences.
So in short if you want her to dominate astrology at any expense. Cool.
Peace
I am going to be me, and i'm going to continue to do what Sister Destee feels is right for this site. This is her dream...her purpose....and i just happen to share her interest and vision for what she hopes to see one day. It is not about a group of people agreeing with each other. It's about uniting to uplift our people all over the world inspite of our differences.
