... and so, the witch hunt

Oh my god, stop. Don't insult our intelligence. You were attempting to teach here, end of story. I am not interested in the least in debating you, mortose.

I second your statement Desolous... from what I have read it would seem blatantly apparent that teaching was the intention here.

How adorable, the sheep begin to "baa" in unity.

Regardless, I stand by my previous statements... and if any of you utter fools knew anything of my path, you would know "teaching" to any important degree would be the furthest thing from my mind HERE. What would I gain "teaching" Jedi? Dispelling ignorance? Raising ideas? Do you call this as formal instruction? I do not.

lol..

Yes Mortose, because opinions are the same, we must all be towing the party line... lol...

We couldn't possibly have reached the same conclusion independently...

Lol, nice try..

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck...

Well, I'm pretty sure we've all tow that party line of it being a duck...

I would like to expand a little on what Connor said. What witch hunt do you see exactly?

Are we intentionally harassing you because of your different views? While understandably you could think that Wescli had some hidden motive I cannot for the life of me think that would ever be it.

There isn't some hidden Council agenda to oust you Mortose, I hadn't even opened your thread until today.

He took action because he thought you broke a rule, don't make this out to be anything more than that.

I still can not figure how any of you came to this conclusion. I think that is what bothers me most... What is "unauthorized teaching"? Perhaps explain it in black and white?

Firstly, I am not someone who will blindly follow anyone. I have my own mind and my own thoughts...

That being said, this:

is blatant instruction.

I had an experience when I was younger with a "dark one" such as you. She decided she liked my potential for "power" and wanted to make me her student. She didn't count on the fact that I was actually a bit more intelligent than she was. She tried to pass off "instruction" as casual sharing of ideas because she knew I was not interested in what she had to say, but I am not stupid. I know when someone is discussing and I know when someone is trying to impart instruction. There is a huge difference.

I know you know the difference too...because I know you are not stupid. I also know you're not stupid enough to assume that everyone here is a sheep just because they see what you did and don't agree with your interpretation of it.

There is also a big difference between manipulation and truth...I know you know that too.

I would also like to add that I have spoken to a few non-members about this whole issue just to get their viewpoint, and they have said very much the same thing. It's obvious that you were imparting instruction and not just discussing your views.

Dispelling ignorance? Raising ideas? Yes, I have seen you do some of that while here. And it has been interesting. But what i see more frequently is thriving on creating needless drama and conflict. Reveling in how close you can sail to the edge of the rules and abusing the tolerance of the council in the process. Using this forum as a platform for your amusement and entertainment. Attempting to undermine the trust we as a temple have in each other. And preying on vulnerability.

You have stated many times Mortose that you are here for the sole purpose of seeking conflict. Which you have achieved spectacularly well I might add. But now as the game is drawing to a close, you are clinging on as desperately as you can. The temple (and I speak for myself and many who think like I do, not the council) is tired of indulging your game playing. The constant drama is no longer amusing, it has become dull and is wasting our time.

And yes, I realize the irony of saying that, as I post in this thread.

However, what is more of interest is how did my writing make you feel? What did it stir... if anything, within you?

That is not teaching, it is being curious outside of private communication and desiring the temple to be the source of the lesson, not myself. You know, giving the light a chance to pick my apprentice out of my claws? Offer him "salvation" and the like?
