Yeah, im trying things the other way and seems im not as cool as you. Maybe I just dont have the knack for it.

I dunno, I found it rather enlightening.

Whatever makes you feel better...

Apprentice doesn't always mean 'lesser'. The Temple only recognises Temple work, there are lots of people who have experience outside of the Temple which makes them much more intelligent and wise than us 'senior' members...

While that is true, I've found myself wondering if using these kinds of psychological tactics on your community, without the council's awareness or permission, might be a bit dangerous (and inconsiderate) in certain cases.

im so glad youre back. Missed your passive agressive comments (no sarcasm intended)

You know what I find most enlightening, that it seems we put value in this "fake" kindness we have for one another. It's a Jedi forum... so we should be "nice".

Yes, thats a real concern isnt it. What if people are saying or sharing things that are not actually of benefit to others in the Temple but in fact a tactic to *insert whatever it is you think people are up to here* Be a bit of a worry wouldnt it. And what about psychological tactics potentially used in training environments. technically with the councils permission. Are we worried about that too? Or is it just those who dont tow the party line that are the subject of your concern?

You know Conner most kindness on here isn't fake..
But remind me if you are ever kind to take what you say with a pinch of salt..

If we are Jedi we will be able to understand them and overcome any difficulties they might present.

I don't see the foundations of this community collapsing because of a small thing like this, and if it did then maybe it wasn't such a strong community to begin with...

ahhhh. A good point. Kindness.
People have called me kind. And yet the moment that Im not...

But in circumstances where we are not kind, where does that fit in?

Yeah, I was going to say that I see these tactics being used on a very regular basis here, and most of it is non ranked individuals. Yet mostly I've seen their efforts at playing mind games with people cheered and encouraged, or at the very least, ignored.
