Leos behaving like Virgos---critical and mean without any solid reason,

and i always thought we are supposed to be gracious and magnanimous, especially to those who ask for our opinions and help !

That's uncalled for. How exactly am I to take it when someone expects free advice but they themselves invest a minimal amount of effort in it. I mean at least make it easy on my eyes!

still,
we should have been more accommodating, it was her first post, and she has just joined the DXP-- maybe just to ask this question-- and that's how she was responded to,

Remind me why I should invest anything in someone who sees me as a fast-food stand for advice. Anyway I'm sorry Jessi, for being an asshole. When I read your post I couldn't see the forest for the threes...the trees being the way the whole thing was conceived.

I understand your point but don't call your fellow Leos that we're acting like Virgos. That honestly hurts knowing how devastated you were after the post you made in their forum. Dear, don't forget that you were also tended to by us, knowing how badly you were burned.

I would have given my honest words. But I do not understand the text and verbage used. It's no fault on anyone, but literally I cannot understand such language and grammar. It's just the way my brain translates information I read into understood information. And yes, I get quite bitchy when I don't understand it. 😛

Jessi, if you'd like to rephrase your questions? I honestly would love to be of aid. I understand you were probably swept in emotion when you wrote your first post, and I've done the same as well. 🙂 I hope you return to see this and respond.

Exactly my point---that's why i remember how bad it feels when you become target of criticism for some petty mistake.
Reading that thread reminded me of my own nightmare.
but remember i did not say " you" , i said " we ".

Virgos are the astrological left-overs of Leos, no? ;D

I do not know, and I have nothing against Virgos as such; it's just that I hate it when people use a condescending or patronizing attitude towards me, and I think most people would feel same.

Anyhow it was not my intention to offend anyone, i just thought that we as Leos should have been a bit more gracious. That's all. No criticism or any such negative response was intended.

OK, i admit i felt it a bit personally; i am very bad at communicating myself properly and i am very conscious about my flaw. always incomplete sentences, conveying half meanings, holding back unintentionally and unknowingly. so when a person's communication flaws are mentioned i do become a bit touchy.

Your 'nightmare' shouldn't be basis on other people's actions.

And furthermore, note that my only references to myself as an individual in my last response were about
1. My understanding of your point
2. How your remark comparing to Virgos hurt.

Besides that, take the time to see the use of 'fellow Leos', 'us', and 'we're'.

That being said, I'll be leaving this particular post for the benefit of keeping my claws hidden and away from others.
