Airing Dirty Laundry in the Astrological Community

This morning, I clicked on a provocatively-titled article about the Association of Young Astrologers that I saw in the Astrology Blogger Directory and was truly offended. I know the three parties whom the blogger mentions only superficially, and have had only positive experiences with them.

I am not a Hellenistic Astrologer, and I actually frequently agree with Monica's disagreement with the use of Whole Sign Houses. What bothers me is that she is both spreading malicious gossip and using her knowledge of these individual's charts as a form of character assassination -- which I find most unethical. Knowledge is power, and outlining chart patterns to only point out the "negatives" in a person's chart is egregious.

Not everyone in the astrological community is going to agree with each other, let alone get along. But there is no reason to get ugly.
