Don't tell her what to do, that's messed up! She's entitled to her opinion that sometimes it seems like the fandom is a little hardcore for some readers, and tends to gloss over other experiences, which isn't really very balanced if you think of it.
LOL - I mean - I'm being accused for being a reader for having an opinion.
So yes, I think she should delete her account if she is going to use this forum to do things like that. It seems that if we are having good experiences with readers, those who dont seem to use it as an opportunity to go off about how shitty the reader was because they are bitter. Not my problem. There is no "fandom" ..... I'm simply stating that if you look through all 30+ pages of this thread, most people have had success with Lotus. That's all I said.
There's fandom here in general with certain readers. I mean , I am happy people have a success rate with a certain reader but a lot of times what happens is they come in and try to debunk someone else's not so good experiences
. it's not just 'I'm sorry she didn't work for you' so much as , I'm sorry she didn't work for you but hoooooo she's so amazing, sucks for you woohoo! That combined with not so wonderful professiona
l skills of someone being either rude or occasionall
y blocking people and unblocking them without being upfront makes me feel there's a tendency to gloss over the not so good with certain readers who are being put on pedestals. I'm completely against putting readers on pedestals - they are human and they make mistakes so yeah they're of course not going to connect with everyone. HOWEVER, they are also human and have fingers and control of how they handle their clients - meaning don't f*** with people and block them randomly. If you're off with me and also unprofessio
nal, it's the unprofessio
nal thing I'm going to get a bug up my ass about because you don't deserve all the accolades if you treat your clients according to your mood. If your mood is shite, take a day off.
Also, opinions go both ways, and telling someone to unregister from a site because they didn't fawn over your favorite reader isn't an opinion. It's an order. Of course I realize emotions run high about these people who are seeing into our innermost lives and personal issues ... but in a lot of ways, because it's hitting a ton of nerves, I think it's important for everyone to be validated, whether they have had a good or bad experience.
Think about it, we're calling THEM to be validated about our OWN feelings most of the time. So we should be doing that to each other here and not just glossing over each others experiences
. Right? For better or worse. I think a better argument is why some readers come off as general with some people and super accurate with others. If their style isn't general, then why would they be or come off that way to some people? It's weird. I think it's a totally valid question. It's not a challenge. I don't think me or others are planting that there intentional
ly as a seed of doubt. But maybe we doubt OURSELVES and our own intuition or what we're told, and that's why some of us come off as so defensive?? Is that possible ?
