Do you think Yahoo! Answers should open an "Anti-Astrology" category f!


Question: I don't mind the "non-believers" so much, it's the outright angry people who seem to be mad and hurl insults at the people who are interested in Astrology.

It's amazing that Yahoo! Answers will allow them to come to *Horoscopes* and call us stupid, ignorant and other insults, but will give us violation notices when we stand up for our rights. What's up with that?

Yahoo Answers need to open a section for all the "Psychic" questions we see everyday. I'm so sick of seeing Psychic this and Psychic that! Astrology and Psychics are two different things! But I do agree with you about the really angry people that are always in this section trying to bash folks. It's funny how they say they don't believe in it but are always in this section all day everyday! Bunch of hypocrites! And, yes yahoo answers will give you a violation notice for the stupidest things but they allow people to call you really rude and insulting names. Their backwards! But, I don't let the people that have rude comments bother me in any way. You just have to ignore ignorant people.

it depends how u stand up for urself..if u use a good language i dont think ull get a violation notice !

no

I don't buy into Astrology, but can't you report them if they are being vulgar or abusive? Keep standing up for your rights, and report the jerks.

Well in fairness it may be a bit odd to believe something that has been proven to be false, even the origins of it. But then again people believe in religion no matter how much evidence proves it is false. But believe in what makes you happy and not worry about others.

The next question would have to be: would astrology fanatics stay out of the "Anti-Astrology" section or would they go there and cast aspersions at the 'non-believers?'

I think it would end up just as negative and argumentative as the Astrology section is.

Nothing wrong with standing up, you just have to watch how you 'word' your responses when you're defending yourself. Just ignore trolls like most people and don't let it bother you, that's all they're trying to do anyways. The internet is wide open and there's really no way to avoid trash talkers and such. And you think it's bad in here, you should see the Christians and Atheists go at it in Religion & Spirituality....if you're bored sometime, check it out, it can actually be quite entertaining ;)

Insulting members is a violation, report them too. What I don't understand is, if they don't like astrology, why don't they just move on to another question. The same is true for any subject. If they don't have anything constructive and useful to say, they should not answer.

I've got a better idea. Why don't we start a drinking game?

For every person that calls us stupid, ignorant or other related insults, we have a drink!


I'll bet we'd be drunk in 2 hours...

Exactly. It should be ahealthy discussion with relevant evidences and examples. Believers and non-believers both are too intelligent to discuss this vast subject. Only a matter of arguments.

No section is designated for popularity. You need to be like a duck, let the insults roll off your back. Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. So don't worry so much about what "They" say, but what others are saying, ok. And give "them" a thumbs down.

No.

Pushing this issue might be a good way to get this whole section shut down. But if it really bothers you, post it where it belongs NOT in this section. This question isn't any more relevent to astrology than some of the crap they come up with. Plus it's kinda spam because you keep saying it over and over again.

The only people who really bother me in this section are the posers, the ones who either pretend or think they know astrology but are really clueless. The non-believers sometimes amuse me. If they are anger, I don't take it personally. Why do you? There anger has nothing to do with you. It's their problem.

Maybe you should check your own transits. This is about your reaction to them. They are just being who they are. Unfortunately, it isn't a crime to be ignorant and closed-minded. And it isn't our place to enlighten anyone else. You can only work on yourself not others.

Let it go already.

*** edit... Your goal is noble if misguided. The world doesn't work that way. Most people think that their way is the best way and should be the only way. They convince themselves that they are somehow saving the people they are disagreeing with when in reality they are just building up karma that will bite them in the a$$ one day. Just look at all the stuff going on in the Middle East. Muslem extremism is a result on the years of Holy Crusades lauched by the Catholic Church. When you try to force anyone to change their position, the most likely outcome is that will become more determined and more extreme in their ways of opposing you.

Besides even stupid people are entitled to their opinion.

***BTW... I just read your comment in your resolved question about the moon moving through different signs. The lunation cycle is 28 days. I has to do with the Moon's relation to the Sun. The Moon's sign is only relevant in it's relation to the Sun's sign ie Moon in Leo+ Sun in Virgo= balsamic moon phase. Lunation cycle refers only to moon phases. Nothing more, nothing less. Go to Dane Rhudyar's site for more about what each mean. I think it's khaldea.com.

It should not be necessary for Yahoo! Answers to have an "Anti-Astrology" category provided that those who like dabbling in the entertainment of astrology, stop calling it a "science".

Astrology is not, never was, and never will be, a science.

It may involve some exotic mathematical computations and lots of psycho-babble about the human condition, but it is not a science, only an entertainment.

It is the deliberate attempt to mislead the ignorant which gives astrology such a bad name. Stop doing that and much of the criticism you complain about will simply disappear.

Yeah they should do it. Those people are just so insecure about their own lives they need to attack other people.

They probably wouldn't go for it. The thing that keeps the anti-astrology bashers coming here is that fact that for most of them it makes them feel good about themselves and superior to look down on others. As sad as it is, they would still continue to come to this section to b*tch about other people's views. It would be no fun for them to be around a whole section of other complainers like themselves that are all griping about the same thing.

i wonder the same,if they don't believe in this WHY are they here answering?

If you wish to join/establish a closed group there are other websites that cater, for example myspace.

It's the unsolicited emails from voracious anti-astrologers that I feel are intrusive. If anyone knows how to block specific users' emails from arriving I'd be pleased to hear.

Ax

No,
They're like the fundementalist Christians trying to convert the atheists. They know they don't have snowball's chance in hell.
