Sad to hear that you are retiring, but at the same time, glad that you’ve provided some more communication and clarity on the matter - being mostly left in the dark these past couple years hasn’t been the slightest bit enjoyable, especially since I purchased multiple readings, which wasn’t cheap. I thank you and appreciate the time and energy you put into the natal chart reading you did at least do for me many years ago, and sad to see the several orders myself, and others have been waiting for, won't be filled - but we need to trust in good faith that you are making the best decision for yourself, and in turn, a decision that will help the community in a far more beneficial way than by means of astrology.
I will be honest in saying the lack in transparency and poor customer service these past couple years (still haven’t received a single personalized response or apology via email) has left a bad taste in my mouth. I get that you’ve been busy, but you have still had the time to post on here regularly, making me feel there’s a lack of empathy for your supportive customers. But, for whatever reasons you may have, chose not to make an effort to find those who placed orders and offer a simple, brief, friendly ETA, let alone an apology. I would’ve been nice to have seen at least one personal response to my emails (or even a personal DM on here) so I know I’ve been recognized and not being scammed. I honestly was convinced I had been scammed (and still skeptical until proven otherwise). I hate to say it, as I had very high respect for you previously, but have since seriously questioned your legitimacy since you never responded to any of my emails (and hearing others in the same boat). Even mentioning it here in the thread felt like any inquiry was agitating to you, further deepening the cut. I hope that now since you have cleared the air in this regard that members won't be left in the dark in the future (whether it be astrology, or otherwise related - especially now since you are JG).
You mention a refund in crypto, which I am absolutely okay with, but can’t help but think where you said, “A refund from me can turn into thousands of dollars for you,” and how that could’ve already come to pass had you provided refunds years ago where we could’ve invested that ourselves into crypto (but is rather, still in your hands/wallet). I look forward to hearing from you personally (and hopefully in a more timely manner) regarding a refund for my orders so we can work on re-establishing that lost trust.
It was honestly tough even writing my feelings on this, knowing I could potentially receive backlash from you or from others on here. But I felt it to be more important to be transparent about my feelings rather than to continue on with this new perception of you for years to come.
