I don't think it is "punitive exclusion" (your words) to decide who and what to read on. Many readers have finely drawn bottom lines, and I don't think that makes them "punitive". I guess it is a difference in opinion, but I don't think it is wrong or prejudiced or punitive for a reader to define their perimeters/preferences. If you don't like what a reader is asking for, then go find a different reader. In the end, it is no judgement on either you, or the reader in question
I agree.
If the sitter doesn't want to respect someone's boundaries. Don't deal with them/waste ones money.
preferences/perimeters is just another form of a boundary. We all have them that is why we have the word 'no' in our language.
There are many readers who only specialize in certain topics of readings. I've seen readers who only specialize in love/romances, past lives, finances, counseling, predictive, career, etc.
Just have to find the reader that aligns best with what self is looking for.
- reads in a certain style customer likes/accept.
- communicate in the manner acceptable to the sitter/customer.
- reads the topic sitter/customer is looking to investigate.
Took me a long time to find the right professional reader for me.
So no, I do not see it as 'punitive exclusion.' It is respecting the reader's comforts. Reader should be allowed to not get involved in something uncomfortable for him/herself.
