I AM a Professional!!
Amazing as it sounds if I were to sit here and write about something beautiful it is doubtful many would read it. On the other had if I were to sit here and write about something quite controversial it is likely there would be many reading and responding. Why is this? Is it in our nature to gravitate toward conflict? Do we like conflict? Does one like stirring up conflict?  It appears that when an advisor post a blog that in any way reflects that someone has done something negative or inappropriate, there are those who rush in to say the advisor is bad, criticize them for their postings, and state they don't deserve calls.  This is bull with the four letter word attached.  Are we expected to sit here like quiet little mice and never speak up or defend ourselves? Not me I do not sit like a quiet little mouse, I tell it like it is. Yes there are callers who take advantage of readers. The reader has the right to say enough is enough. Maybe it is only a small portion who does these annoying things, but that small percentage causes big damage. Then drama queens want to say keep your mouth shut, this is not an appropriate message to be sending to your clients or potential clients. Again I say BULL with the four letter word attached. When an advisor requests free minutes and then gives you a one star just for the fun of it, that is like a big slap in the face. When someone hangs up after 1 minute and gives a one star, again big slap in the face. When someone sends an identical email to many advisors requesting free minutes, then never pays, even after getting hours of free minutes, another slap in the face.  Click monsters clicking our funds away, big slap in the face. I for one do not like being slapped in the face. I do not like seeing others slapped in the face either. Oh and don't get me started on how unprofessional I am for speaking my mind. After all do I live in a country where I have free speech, am I entitled to give my opinion? If you are viewing this as negative then look at yourself. Are you perfect? I am not perfect nor do I claim to be.

KUDOS to you Lexy for posting this!  You ARE a professional...you mentioned no names; gave generalities rather than specifics...Proud of you!
Keep up the good work!   Cheryl

Lexy .. I like your style !  And you pose an interesting query:  Why do people gravitate to negativity?

I feel that the answer to this question lies within the duality of physical life.  Everything here on Earth Mother has balance -- good and bad, right and wrong, black and white, yin and yang.  It always seems that people want it to be one way or the other.  

However, I proffer that the middle road, the 'gray' area, if you like, is where the true balance resides.  Our Keen blogs provide that balance ... these blogs represent the 'gray' area to me because both readers and callers can unite, speak their opinion and get a better feel for each other.  What a wonderful way for us to meet :)

Lexy .. you are a professional in every sense of the word, girl.  Ya sez it likes ya sees it!  Good for you !

Warmly

Dolphyn

Hi Lexy: I am a keen caller and I completely support the advisors here to say "enough is enough". I do not agree with anyone being taken advantage of.
If these folks are just going around asking for minutes with no intention of adding money I say block those nasty freeloaders and do not feel compelled to send any more minutes.
It is one thing if there is an established client - reader relationship and/or the reader wants to send his/her clients minutes; that's their own choice.
I responded to a similar blog by someone else only yesterday by another reader dealing with the 'give me, give me' monsters.
I guess I am completly overlooking the fact that you stated anything negative because I would be pissed myself therefore I am failing to acknowledge this as negative.
Something that I totally believe in; Karma is a MFer and very nondiscriminating - so the offenders will have to answer for their own selfishness to a higher power LOL.

You scream and shout from the rooftops, then come and write a blog about even tho you have dropped your rate, you still don't get calls.  Hm.. Me thinks there is a direct correlation between the two :)

Well said...seeking68!!! Thanks for seeing this through our eyes! Karma is a pickle and those who give off bad Karma will get theirs .........it may not be today...it may not be tomorrow...but it'll be one day..... I'm patient...I can wait! and no, your response wasn't negative....honesty is rarely if ever negative!  Cheryl

Dear Lexy:

You are correct in your analogy about people gravitating towards controversy.  The ones who are abusing will continue to abuse because that is their nature and the ones that like to throw rocks at us but continue to utilize our services will still find ways to bash us when they can for that is the way they think they have a little power and we are still left with the situation of having to deal with them no matter how much we complain.  I feel that as an Advisor I have the best clients on Keen and I feel so fortunate that I have been so lucky.  I give each of my steady clients free minutes after each call and I do not give free minutes to first time callers.  I do not solicit for feedback and am so very grateful when someone takes the time to give me praise but....no matter how careful I am and how scrupulous I am during a reading I am sometimes wrong and at times I get an email that tells me I have been wrong and I can do nothing about that but send an immediate apology.  Looking at things in the future is not an exact science by any means and we are not God who see's all and know's all.

I believe we are a microcosm of what is going on in the world and as a group we have to remain as constant as we can and seek balance like Dolphyn suggests.  All I can add Lexy is you are correct in your indignation and you do have a right to voice your dissatisfaction as well as those who are free to voice their dissatisfaction if they do not feel they get handled fairly.  Personally I see nothing whatsoever unprofessional about voicing your opinion and those who object to that should look at their own reasons for doing so.  

Lets hope the New Year brings us some balance and a way to collectively deal with those who abuse.

Thank you all for your comments. Sometimes there are those things that just need to be said. I do not mind speaking up.  There always seems to be someone lurking in the shadows just waiting to bash me for it.

Wow! Way to go, very well said! no one likes freeloaders. You just can't escape those with the negative opinions either. You just can't please some people.
As for the person making the comment about your call volume, how is their call volume? And who are you to be so high and mighty and judgmental? I have seen your comments on other blogs. You always seem to have something nasty to say. Do you enjoy going around trying to put your misery on others? Well here is something for just for you nova52799. GET A LIFE!  

familyman

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 3:34 PM

Familyman.. No call volume here - I am not a reader, I am the one with the money paying the readers.  Never been nasty -- if that's how you are reading my words, well, that's your issue. No misery here -- I am the happiest person most people know :).   And I have a spectacular life, thank you very much.  I am merely "speaking my mind" -- if you don't like it, "cover your ears."

nova52799

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 3:53 PM

nova52799 you sure could have fooled me. Without quoting your exact words or referencing to the exact blog you did say something to the effect of readers having a different forum to discuss such matters. Hum how would you know this? Unless of course you were an advisor yourself? Ok so your not on here taking calls you sure are on here dishing out enough dirt are you not? This is not the first time I have seen you post negative comments in blogs. Why do go around bad mouthing those who post blogs? Don't sit there saying you don't do it, because I have seen it more than once. This is not the first time you have made negative comments about Lexy on her blog either. Close my ears? Crap not enough for you to criticize readers you got to criticize callers too. You sure come across as some rotten miserable person to me. If you are so happy and have such a wonderful life, why do you hang out on keen blogs stirring up trouble? Unless you are so full of xxxx that it is now coming out of your mouth.

familyman

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 4:13 PM

I know this because a) I have friends who are readers, and b) readers have discussed this forum on other blogs.  (Not to mention I have a lot of friends on here who are ~customers~ also - ya know, that whole "word of mouth" thing

I have not badmouthed anyone.  I have merely stated my opinion on how a handful readers whine (yes, whine - ok, now THAT was badmouthing) about how Keen is their business, yada yada, however, their business sense is sadly lacking.  Businesses of all kinds require a sense of professionalism.  Everything a "business" says publicly reflects directly on that business.  Now why, might I ask, would a business owner risk losing old customers or potential new customers by posting blogs complaining about the very customers who are paying their "salary"?  It makes absolutely no sense to me.

I would be more than happy to listen to you bad mouth ~me~, familyman, but I think you (or anyone else for that matter) should direct your comments directly to me at (private email removed).  

And why do I hang out on Keen blogs?  Because several readers have some really great things to say in their blogs. Believe it or not, there are quite a few readers who do not whine about their customers and/or lack of business.  And, well, quite frankly, I was a tad bit bored at work today :)

nova52799

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 4:33 PM

Well nova52799 you do not have a very good opinion of Lexy from what you have said. No one appears to be whining here just stating the truth as they see it. That is no reason to make reference to their call volume. How are freeloaders paying their salary? No one wants people constantly asking for them to give away their services for free. No one likes to be bad mouthed for no reason at all either. It is not wrong for the readers to stick up for themselves. Guess Lexy was telling it like it is. I like Lexy and she seems to have guts, and be somewhat spunky. You are just not worth my time. You just don't give up, always putting others down. You must always be bored at work the way you dish out dirt.

familyman

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 4:51 PM

familyman and nova52799-
Please end your fight right now.

familyman-
I do not need anyone fighting my battles for me. I had to delete that nasty word you used. Please stop fighting with nova52799.

nova52799-
Had to remove your personal email, otherwise you may end up with some unwanted emails. Sorry you do not like my blog. This is not the first time you have created tension on my blog. Your comment had little to do with the topic of the blog and was a deliberate personal attack on me.



Enough is enough both of you cut it out!

Lexy Moon

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 5:01 PM

Gee I am sorry Lexy. Did not mean to pick any fights here. I will not say anything more to the other person in this blog.  

familyman

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Friday, December 28, 2007 5:06 PM

this blog is appropriate. it needed to be said. if this is your experience than you have the right to speak on it.i think that it will let only paying callers know to call you and that is fine. call volume should only drop when an advisor is rude,judgemental, or unprofessional. this is not unprofessional. it just states the facts.

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Saturday, December 29, 2007 2:39 PM

There is a simple solution for everyone reading this and other keen blogs: If you know you don't like a specific reader's topics or style of blogging, please just skip it. We all have that choice. I personally make choices as to what blogs I like to read. This is  not an attack just a friendly suggestion to the subscribership here on Keen. I have many readers on keen read for me over the years (paid for readings) and while I really liked them, it is very difficult to read for me. No hard feelings or anything like that, as a matter of fact I have really liked them and generally I have received many appreciative remarks as to their appreciation to my being one of their favorite clients. I am honest with them, they are honest with me without feeling as though they will get a backlash but most of all I do not ever take advantage of their kindness. Now don't get me wrong I love to get free minutes after my calls, but to me it is a perk when a reader sends me minutes and I am grateful for them. Some of my readers have participated on this blog (hi!!) but I won't reveal them here. In summary; this is not an attack on anyone and it is simply a kind way of reminding everyone we have choices to read blogs from those bloggers we choose to read from so if you know that reading a blog from a blogger that normally doesn't agree with you just bypass it. I do not like to agitate myself and pruposely stay away from some bloggers. In the meantime you can still enjoy and participate in other areas of the blogging.

Going around begging for free minutes is lame. Why would any idiot do that?

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Saturday, April 12, 2008 3:50 PM

Wow!  Never seen anything like this before.  First of all, I feel that this is a valid blog.  It happens too too much people asking for freebies.  They need to 'earn' them as far as I am concerned.  

Been offline this week - sick but rousing back up.  

Seekings68 is what I call "The Voice of Reason" here.  We have talked.  She is honest and tells it like it and always fair.

It was a good move, Lexy, to delete anything inappropriate - it's your blog.  However, I don't feel that 'familyman' was trying to fight your fight but all of our fights.  Bad word, actually.  We do get abused and he just got fired up and you cut it off when it got out of control.  That's good.  But I feel his intentions were for all of us.  

Nova, well you are just a trouble maker and need to look within yourself to see why.  Who has hurt you here?  I doubt that anyone has intentionally hurt but ... you ...have intentionally tried to hurt others.  Shame on you.. come on!  I would rather lost 2 points than taking a call from you.  Email me, okay?

You really need to find out what you are really angry about.

Dear Lexy:

Like I said before this is a necessary topic to blog about and a lot of things need to be said. I have been the victim of some who take things  I have said out of context and twist my words to suit their purpose and that is unfortunate.It made me upset at time but  I tried not to get sucked into controversy and failed.   Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted for what believe in no matter what others think about you. I think comments open up debates but they do clear the air sometimes.  Like Lexy said people do like a little controversy.Gossip and strife are always a big seller in the newspapers so they gravitate to see who is in hot water and who is winning.  It is human nature I think and does not say a whole lot about our character but it is a fact.  Therefore we do need to take comments I think with a grain of salt and giggle sometimes when someone is really lame but keep the vicious comments away if possible.  Hurting others is not productive anytime and we do not serve anyone by harming another.  We are human beings and we should exhibit a little tolerance for others.  Diversity is the spice of life. I draw the line however with those who purposely try to ruin another Advisor's business, those who call with the intent to leave a one start and have no intention of wanting a reading, and those who think that putting another down makes them move one more notch up the ladder of whatever success they are seeking.  I have never ever left a bad rating for anyone I have called.  Although I have called very few I just would not stoop to that business at all.  I also would not humiliate a waitress or waiter at their job, or a sales clerk.  I would simply make the choice to not call them again or not go back to the particular restaurant etc.  To set out to make some one lose their job or destroy their job is criminal behavior I believe and it is the work of a sociopath. I think we have enough of that behavior showing up with kids now who beat up others so they can look tough on the "myspace" video.  It is the same mentality in my books.  Just my two cents here however and I am sure others feel strongly also.  Thank you again for reposting Lexy for we all need to get our two cents worth of opinion out there once in awhile.

Rosie-
I get what you are saying. However, there is one person who has constantly used my blogs as a battle ground to attack me. Since I have been blogging this person has said I was unprofessional, did not deserve to get calls, made reference to my call volume (at a time of illness when I wasn't even taking calls) criticized my price(more than once), stated  my psychic abilities were not very good, and on and on. Then others make remarks that I should ignore this. When someone is deliberately attempting to damage not only my blogs but to discredit me, and ruin my business. They post comments to provoke me, not to contribute to the topic.  Well, it is not good, and I am not just going to sit by and let it continue. Maybe this person needs professional help. They thrive on trying to bring others down. In the meantime, I have asked them to take their negative energy elsewhere. There is no need in continuing to tiptoe around the issue.

Lexy Moon

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Saturday, April 12, 2008 7:58 PM

LOL Ancestrial Wisdom.  I am far from angry :)
I just can't imagine operating my own business (yes, I am a business owner as well as working a full time job) the way some of these bloggers do!  It amuses me how bad some people's marketing skills are :)

Oh, and btw, Lexy, you are the one who posted the blog about your call volume and made it everyone's business.  I just merely made a comment on it :)  

And to anyone who has ever read anger, negativity or whatnot into my comments -- that's pretty much all in YOUR heads.  I am usually sitting here with a smile on my face as I type :)

nova52799

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Saturday, April 12, 2008 11:25 PM

I hear what you are saying, Lexy. You are learning a lesson that MANY well intentioned bloggers and public figures before you have learned, and many in the future will learn. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, when we present ourselves in public, we open ourselves up to negativity. As above, so below. It's frustrating, infuriating, and irritating, to be sure. I work in corporate America, and believe me, it can be brutal. Way back when I was just starting out, I would become very upset and defensive when I felt I was being attacked. My superior shared with me that the more I reacted, the worse I looked. Not that you look 'bad', but as a customer I can tell you that we are all not as dumb as we may sound sometimes, and it is clear when a person is being unnecessarily picked on or abused in the blogs.

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Sunday, April 13, 2008 4:52 AM

Nova-
I am merely stating what others keep quiet about. You type nasty remarks with a smile on your face and say it amuses you. It looks negative. This blog had nothing to do with my call volume when it was first posted late December. Yet you remarked about my call volume. You remarked about my price at the time as well, which I was running a sale for the holidays. You claim you have good intentions, yet it appears you have negative intentions. That is why I ask you to take your negative energy elsewhere. I have deleted many blogs because of your rude comments,and provoking others. I have decided to use the magic of the delete button in the future for your negative comments. I asked you nicely many times in the past to please be nice when posting comments. There is no nice way to put it anymore. You continue to post negative remarks and laugh about it. I am unwilling to let you continue your attempts to bully me or anyone else in this manner on my blogs any more. In an attempt to be fair I tried to allow you to comment in my blogs. In the future your comments will be deleted.

Have a nice day.

Lexy Moon

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Sunday, April 13, 2008 5:08 AM

In the Clouds,
You are so correct. It can be hard sometimes to ignore those who disrespect us over and over again. Sometimes enough is enough of anything, and I have tried to ask them to move on. That didn't work, so I decided to say it in a not so nice way, hoping it was something they can understand.
I have never been one to tolerate bullies very well. I would stick up for anyone getting bullied and slapped around.

We as a society to not tolerate physical abuse of others. Sometimes instead of physical abuse people turn to mental abuse as a substitute.
We all know what a bully is.
No form of abuse should ever be acceptable. Using these blogs as a way to bully someone is not acceptable to me.

Being a bully in the work place should not be tolerated either.  

Some of the things mentioned in the blog can be disrespectful.

Constantly disrespecting others is not acceptable. 

You are nice to post your comment in such a lovely way.

Thank you.

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Sunday, April 13, 2008 8:04 AM


the sad part is that the ones who leave the negative comments are cyber bullies. they see it at a way to vent their anger at the blogger and disguise it as just a comment no harm intended. that is truely sociopathic. so many people hwo are cyber bullies are angry and do not know it because they perceive their thinking as their truth so it is okay. i see a lot of comments on blogs that are nasty and come from advisors more than callers. i have deleted my share of comments because they are too vile. i use to want to spare the person who was leaving the comments but i learned to keep them up to show the callers who is who. the caller can see that clearly.
i hope that callers know that this is a human community not a spritual one. the perception of psychics being spiritual has been exposed not to be true. we are humans putting our thoughts on blogs and mixing them with spirtual and personal. it is what we really are. not spiritual beings just humans.

Right on, Lexy!  I admire you personally and your courage to protect yourself and even go further to protect those on your blogs from the negative and I might even say "sick" energy of ONE person!  Good for you!  

She had her chances and way too many.  It's time to give the 'boot'!  These blogs are meant to be pleasant, informative, and even personal experiences in our lives or here on keen - good or not so good.

# re: I AM a Professional!! @ Thursday, April 17, 2008 1:03 PM

Lexy,

I have to say i totally agree with you!!! And it gets old gettgin e-mails asking constatnly for free minuters!!! I have given them out again and again to people who never pay for a reading.
Now they wouldn't be allowed to go toe the store and not pay for there Groceries or to a Doctor and not pay, A lawyer and not pay. Same goes for Psychics. We have to use alot of energy to provide the readings. Which at times can take a big toll on us as we may have to give info we would rather not.

I also stand up for myself and have been bashed by fellow readers and callers alike. Which in my opinion is Wrong.

I also have had a time when my business was being jepradised (sorry for spelling) by another reader where a page was put up for everyone to see. So I stood up for myself.
Thankfully keen took it down but it did hurt my business. Which to me is not very spiritual!On that person's part.But hopefully they now have becoem more compassionate.
And what gets me is when callers or advisors can be mean and get away with it. Yet we are to watch what we say etc...
I think Keen needs to let us voice our opinions more!!!

I am proud of you posting this & also proud that you took negative posts down.We have enough negativity in the world we don't need more.

Blessings my Friend
Pamela
