I don't understand why you're all getting upset with Shion. Rizu was insulting to her.

Rizu-sensei
if you truly believe that witches can just willy-nilly cast whatever spells they want, then you either aren't a real witch, or you had a massive brain fart and forgot the whole bit about


First of all, she suggested that Shion isn't a real witch, completely undermining her practices, and the beliefs related to those practices. That alone is insulting to anyone. Apparently, Shion isn't a real witch, because she doesn't do things a certain way.

Second of all, she said 'massive brain fart'. She said that Shion 'had a massive brain fart'.
A massive brain fart.

But that was not the insult Shion was complaining about.

Yes, it was the insult that she was complaining about. That's rather obvious by the fact that she literally quoted it two or three pages ago, and said "This insults me".
All she did was phrase it all in a different way, and because of it, you all missed it by a mile.

She was complaining about being called an "ignoramus". also, Shion has...well, less than a perfect track record here, shall we say? It is hard to take someone's complain with the utmost sincerity when she has been doing...well, what she has been doing.

Perhaps Rizu meant "Wiccan" not "Witch." Many people misspeak.

Okay, okay, seriously this needs to stop. Your bickering is messing up my thread.

but the law is the same way. There is no saying what will happen to a person who is being charged with any given crime.
It's not saying that causing harm is a crime either. It does not state that harm is bad. It just states that not causing harm is good. There are other options available besides harm being bad. That's what I'm trying to point out.
You're staring at it and trying to take it literally when it's advice, a suggestion, and can be inferred differently.

First of all, because that's essentially what Rizu called her. Not so much the letter of the law, but the spirit of it. 'Stupid', 'idiot', 'moron', and 'dunce' are all insults that imply the same general lack of intelligence; the fact that they're all different words doesn't change that.

Besides:

anyone who can't tell the difference should not be practicing witchcraft. if you truly believe that witches can just willy-nilly cast whatever spells they want, then you either aren't a real witch, or you had a massive brain fart and forgot the whole bit about:


This is what brought about my "attitude".


That was on the fourth page. She literally quoted it, and said, "This is why I'm annoyed".

Frankly, I don't care. She isn't wrong now, and if this is any indicator, I'd be willing to go so far as to say that she probably wasn't wrong for all the times that you're complaining about.

From where I stand, it's far more likely that you all misunderstood her position, as you've done now.

okay okay. I want everyone to calmly say how they feel, no pointing fingers or quoting.

This is really blown out of proportion. It's getting sad.

I follow the Rede as advice. Many people follow it unknowingly...just trying to be good citizens.

Trust me. You weren't here. You do not know what abuse we have endured. It is a wonder she is still here.

Considering she's right, and all of you have jumped on her for no reason at all, I'm having an extremely tough time trusting you.

And are any of you listening? Rizu may have misspoke. Witch and Wiccan are interchangeable words for many people.
PostPosted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 8:51 pm


Kasa: I feel it was a good bit insulting (although I figure it wasn't meant to be so) to be said that you're invalidated as a witch if you think you can cast whatever spells you like and/or do not follow the Wiccan rede.
And from what I see, it was replied to be "that wasn't insulting, you're stupid". Which is just as insulting. It wasn't at all "I'm sorry you see it that way, it wasn't meant to be seen like that" but more of stabbing the wound.

As I said in my request, I came here to try and discuss witchcraft and the like. I thought that a thread titled 'ask a witch' would be as good a place as any to start.

Shion often stabs the wound. Rizu doesn't.
