But you didn't respect the offer enough to actually read it:
1, I happened to of only just opened a profile recently
2, I did read the post. But unfortunately i have memory health problems, which are Vascular
So before you make snap judgment on people. Maybe take a breath
But don't worry. I will never ask you for anything. I do not like being attacked in this manner.
I see no reason to make this personal.
I don't reply to anyone here with knowledge of their problems or judgment based on that, if you had clarified to me that you have issues which make it impossible to remember what is mentioned in the initial post or to consider that you may not be eligible until you have more involvement, I would have been as reasonable in my response! Communication needs to happen. I make my rules based on what I think is reasonable in the climate.
I must assume based on what is most common (and unfortunate) here that people are prone to take advantage of 'free stuff', and the best way to guard against encouragement of that is to take a hard stance. If I am in the wrong, you can correct me - you make assumptions about me as well when you respond as you have. You could as easily have tried to understand where I was coming from, and did not make that effort.
Yes, you opened a profile recently, and I believe one shouldn't expect free stuff from the community.
If you're involved, it is not free - it is a gesture in exchange for your involvement.
That's how I am approaching it, given the work I do is not a novelty, and I think is worth guarding.
I see this as a misunderstanding and would like to amend that.
I came back to this thread to say that I would have time to do a reading for everyone who posted their interest, and would extend that to you if you'd like. If not, that's alright. Let me know.
As mentioned above, I've only had a moment to look at the replies here now.fredGsanford wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 5:19 pm I apologize Vipera. No, I didn't see the note. I've purchased a reading before and have been actively keeping up with your releases because I liked your style and approach. It will not happen again.
I don't mean to make you feel bad about requesting a reading. I was being assertive given what I've seen as a trend of people joining the forum only to take advantage of free readings, rituals, etc. Nothing anyone says or does seems to dissuade this or similar behavior so it can get stressful.
You've gotten on the tough end of my rallying against this and I apologize. Unfortunately I cannot tell who here has made what investment at first glance, and want to base what I offer here on who I see is making an equal investment. The only way to do that is to make a clear note, expect people to read it if they care and to see that everything matches up when I go down the list of those who showed an interest.
As also mentioned above, I came back here to say that I have time to read for everyone who asked and seeing your reply it made it clear that this too is a simple misunderstanding. If you will have it I would like to offer a reading to you. Let me know, and if not no worries. I don't want to propagate negativity, I just want to make sure fairness is at the forefront.
To everyone -- no excuse, I'm b*tchy about making sure people respect what is offered here. I have seen it taken advantage of and I don't like it. If you're not taking advantage of anyone then you know you aren't, and you can always put me in my place by showing me that. I'm not so stuck in my idea of things that I am going to ignore honest input to the contrary of what I've set forward! I'm a person not an automaton. Thank you and I hope everyone will enjoy their readings.
