Staying, I've been here since 2008 and events like this occasionally happen in online communities. I'm here for personal growth and community, until that ends I will happily stay.

I'll go wherever there are good lessons and good friends. At present that is here. Who knows what the future holds though?

We each have our own path to walk, these sites are just stopping points to rest our heads and meet other travellers. Sooner or later, we all have to get back on the road, and head out in search of new adventures

I'll still be kicking around here... but for the foreseeable future gonna be taking a step back. The issues that have been so divisive have been... distracting from my training and unbecoming of Jedi.

I'll still be answering PM's if anyone needs me, but prolly gonna be a a lot less active in the forums. I've allowed the "drama" of this place to distract me from my Path. I need to get back to my growth.

But fear not, I'm not leaving this place. It's given me too much for me to abandon it.

Remember, this is a site. The Path happens beyond.

As far as it goes, I'll still be pottering around, fiddling with the IP and general what-not.



That said, I am not above drama, and I am loyal to whoever brings me the best entertainment :laugh:

OB1. The amount of layers of value this message has is difficult to count. I'm sure I'm not alone in confirming that in many a way you expressed what many of us were thinking: The true meaning of this place as a platform, a breeding ground for relationships, mostly, and at times ideas, too. I predict that in five years time we will remember these days and this thread that came out of all that, as yet another milestone of TOTJO history, another waypoint of the TOTJO path.
For all the heat so readily to spark between the two of us aside, my hats off for thee tonight, and perhaps a polite bow, too. Thank you.

Jeez, Gist, usually when you make people cry its because youve forever demolished the irrational assumptions upon which their entire worldview was predicated. But here i am, chopping onions with my worldview still intact.
All i can say is thanks, i appreciate you saying that for real B)

People are complicated.

I will be here unless I told to leave.......lol I got some people to annoy, things to learn and love to spread and though I'm sure events like this happen, I know I saw a little different view of how I need to be acting. I know some people deeper than I knew them and made connections I otherwise haven't. I'll be here, if I end up being a dick at some point I'll accept whats coming to me.

i guess time to decide what is next.

I'm not leaving, but I'll be taking a step back, into the shadows.

I'll be lurking, but not terribly active.

Heroes don't always win the battle sadly, but those fighting are not any less heroes.

May the Fonz, I mean Force be with us.

I'm not one to go chasing. I'll be here until the path drifts me another way.

I am still here and will continue to uphold my Oaths and serve however I can. I'll not add to the mystery or speculation. I will only suggest that we each use this as an opportunity to refocus our efforts on our own self improvement and study. Walk your path, even if it is a solitary one for a while. My focus will continue to be on my Apprentice and her lessons as well as my own continued education. My PM box is open.

I'm still here sorta, but will be at a reduced capacity, and as such about a month ago I advised Council I would have to step away from the role of Council Secretary. No announcements have been made since no replacement has been sorted out yet AFAIK.

And as a community service I am trying to post less as I did not realize I had gotten so high in my post count here!!!! :silly:

As difficult as things appear to be and gotten a little bleak. I will still be here on a regular basis. I have an apprenticeship and I intend him to be a Knight once his training is complete. If we need leadership at totjo now is the time.
