Well, Saxon? How does it feel to get your balls busted by the High Priest? You see, unlike you, he believes in good business. Services rendered = services paid. There are many here who would love for him to keep the money, but that's what donations are for. From the very beginning, Hoodedcobra didn't want to obtain money for nothing - he wanted to give something in return. He said so himself. That's why he offered the astrology services to begin with.
If you want to forsake your self respect, dignity, and the laws of business then go back to the military and be a jarheaded piece of property who only believes in following orders. Then we won't have to listen to you whine and harshly judge the entire JoS community for basically just respecting High Priest HoodedCobra's wishes.
Your high horse has fallen.
Jrvan, I realize it's not about what you say sometimes, but how you say it. I am not getting my balls busted, close, but no. I wouldv'e just donated it anyhow. I know Cobra King is kind, but people need to not ask for refunds, that isn't acknowledging how hard ur HP Commander works. I feel like people here need to be more strictly regimented. It was overly audacious to write that after getting lifetimes of throat chakra energy out, even though I did my AoPs x216, just too much. I wish people would have been like 'No thank you, HP-HC666, you keep it Bossman!' Putting a smile on the other person's face is better than winning. I may not seem like I understand that, but I do -- and embody better after this lesson. It's not money for nothing. I feel bad I triggered you, but I am not going to relent on my core positions. I wish more people believed in following direct orders, we'd be farther along. We are fine how we are and everyone plays their part. I won't be a dick on here again. I totally see where you are coming from, Jrvan and I don't have any resentment for you for getting put off by my behavior, cheers fam, sieg heil!
Glad to see you're being more civil in your approach now.
It's not like I disagreed with
everything you said in some of your comments, but I'm very protective of people by nature, always have been, and I don't like seeing others whom I respect have their credibility and reputation undermined. Aquarius has done a lot of great things on the forums here, and his presence is a gift.
I know it's hard when it seems like others aren't pulling their weight and just talking the talk - it can be really annoying... I'm with you on that, but Aquarius was the wrong target of that frustration.
And also even if it doesn't seem like someone is pulling their weight in certain ways, the echoes of their contributions in other ways are loud and impactful and help in many ways even if not everyone is able to perceive it.
I believe in giving credit where it's due - I always try to live by that. When I see someone do good, I like to pay them a compliment. When I see someone's accomplishments getting minimized, I guess it just really strikes a nerve on a deep level for me.
I believe you also can have a positive influence on the forums here which I'm looking forward to, and changing the approach and delivery of your message was the right step towards that. So that shows you have wisdom and good ability to self reflect.
Also, the High Priest has his principles, and he wants those principles respected. If he didn't want people to take refunds then he wouldn't offer it, but it's his show and he wants to do it his way. We just have to respect his wishes. I also would have wanted him to keep my money if I had an order back then because I would have wanted to help him out in any way I could, but I also would have respected his wishes when he insisted that I accept the refund. That's just how it is. I really think most people were on the same page with you, and would have offered to let him keep the money. We all know he doesn't want that, though. He's a man of firm principles.
