Hey Heather, lol, I didn't mean it as an attack at anybody so I'm sorry if it felt that way. But first, you're a water sign so you're off the hook! :) And second, I don't know, as a cancer male I feel like we're (cancer males in general) just like always under the microscope. Like, it's just such a weird combo or too strange for people to understand that a guy could be a guy and a moody watery crab at the same time, lol. So I totally respect your right and desire to clarify those things and to want to know more about cancer males so that you can take that info back to your real-life interactions. But I think it's frustrating for cancer males (for me anyways) how dissected we seem to be, and so often.....but I really wasn't trying to attack you though.....

Oh, and I LOVE your new profile pic! :)

So this is an example of an email exchange that has occured recently after denying someones membership request, due to their not including their birthdate.

I tried explaining clearly that the membership being for water sun signs only in this specific tribe is not about negative, superior or otherwise antisocial feelings toward anyone else or other astrological signs, but simply what was stated. A simple space we can share for the myriad known and mysterious joys, learning & benefits of relating with others who share a certain common aspect of being. Nothing hostile or anti about it, simply focused and appreciative while kept in perspective.
Apparently none of that makes sense to her.?
Well, guess I dont need to worry about others being able to feel and understand the validity & love in something when they are not yet able to perceive it. Thus leaving room for the unknown is valuable in life, while respecting our own values & choices in addition to others.

I was not going to make this public here, but after the last messages from her, realizing she has few posts, no photos of herself and no friends on tribe it seems whoever is using that profile seems to be using it mainly to flame & express unwarranted hostility relatively immunely via tribes private messaging system.?
So Im hoping we can use the exchange, ideas expressed & any offshoots of anything we feel from it in interests of learning & sharing more.? Maybe I was a bit too pointed in my communications back to her? When attacked without provocation, sometimes I choose to forgoe beating around the bush in my responses and expressed feelings to get straight to what feels like the heart of relevant issues. I can see her perspective and appreciate it, just happen to feel its being overly rigid, short-sighted and expressing an arrogant sense of disprespectul & intrusive entitlement. But at least she has the .... to voice her own unique feelings about whatever seems to be on her mind.

( Related to people like that trying to join this tribe, what do you all feel about requiring people who request membership to have more completed tribe profiles?
At least a friend or two, photos of themselves and something personalized in their profile - to help ensure people requesting to join are being honest and are not flamers or others posing behind misleading / false profiles and birthdates? )


Anyway here are the tribe messages to and from her, starting with my resonse to her tribe membership request which did not include her birth information.

The little information requested to join the tribe is included at the very top of the tribes homepage description.
The moderation of the tribe helps ensure its members are people who take the time to read the tribes description, respect each other and the orientation of this specific tribe.
And keeps it free of people who do not respect what that specific tribe was created for and thus indirectly the people in it, and who have some arrogant sense of entitlement assuming everything ( and every tribe ) be created to suit them.

So far the moderated membership has been a good choice. And most members in the tribe have expressed wanting to keep it this way. Some times people need a space where they can hang out with just certain friends for a little while, like a womens or mens night, or people who share a certain hobby, etc.. That is what that tribe is for. There are many other tribes where we can mingle with anyone and everyone which are great too.
If people come around dissing and disrespecting that and try to crash it, they obviously lack basic respect and would not be "fun" to have as members.

Hi Christstie,

Sorry you have such misplaced hostility. This is simply one tribe space for its own humble, stated purpose. We all have equal respect for other people & tribes including this specific tribe and its unique purposes.
It is no affront or attack against you personally, so hopefully you will be able to refrain from attacking others who use our innate rights to creative freedom differently. That is life, diversity. No projected hostility is due myself, other tribe members of this tribe or anyone else who simply uses ones divine rights to creative freedom, expression & relationships.

Hope you feel better soon

Message: No Chrisstie, you are totally projecting your interpretations and onto others about this issue.
Sorry you can't see past your own hostile projections & accusations. The membership has nothing to do with feeling superior or "important". Only with what was stated, which includes equality & a place where we all respect everyone and every astrological sign as inherently equally divine & good, we are just honoring our natural creativity & right to enjoy each others relations in a focused way for a little while merging between that space and other nonspecific gatherings of people. Equality however does not require homogonization or forced inclusivity in all situations at all times.
I hope for yourself, and for others, you are able to make that useful distinction, rather than expecting everyone else to cater to your own viewpoints and erroneously projecting such hostility & judgement onto them, assuming they are wrong, arrogant or unloving when others experience & express the equality, beauty & diversity of life & perceive equal truths you do not yet allow room for.

I am now done humoring your completely unwarranted hostility, mistaken projections & arrogance however. And will ignore future messages from you unless they include a sincere awakened apology and more humane, respectful communications from you.

Take care.

Thank you for your kind words & support for the tribe, everyone.

Yeah, Ive been pretty busy lately with life. Yet enjoy the conversations & sharing that occurs here with us all and the tribes purpose, and will try to post more topics & participate in discussions & play here as often as I can all things considered.

On a related note, has anyone heard from Bobbi after her sudden vanishing from Tribe? I hope she is okay.?

No worry, I thought it was pretty funny you said that. I have no objection to fire sometimes...hehe
