I would have to agree Naya. Which leaves me to wonder if the concern is only because it is not "expected" from me, or if its because I will not simply accept my telling off with grace

I was wondering the same thing, actually. It's amazing how differently people react towards others when they have an expectation toward a certain kind of behavior from that person. I will admit that I had a feeling that all of this was based on some of the talks we've had recently, but I'm still not sure.

judging from your message Naya this is all a game cooked up by you and others...
Good luck with that but have to say manipulation and lies makes me wonder what I'm actually doing here

*has no idea what Naya is talking about.

lol, what she did was use the temple AND its members in a psychological experiment without consulting anyone beforehand....something I would expect from the likes of you Mort as it shows a clear lack of respect on her part. I've no problem with her "exploring" the other side as it were, but to the extent that she decided to take it in regards to her methods, yeah, I got problems with that...

If they take part, they have no excuse.

If you think that, then you completely misread what I wrote. I invite you to share our discussion with Jestor and see if he comes to the same conclusion. If he does, then he can discuss it with me or my master if he feels I'm doing the wrong thing.

Brenna made it clear that she acted alone, don't start bringing in other people without first asking them.

Now speaking in general to the 'thread':
Personally? I think any situation can be a lesson, what sort of lesson do you think you're learning here? What example are you setting? I have noticed that aside from myself I don't think any other 'senior' member has posted that much. What does that say?

Mortose wrote: Rather, she served the Council here and through that, "The Force".

I am unsure what that means

You and Bren spoke about things, , it's game playing.. All of it and i don't need Jestor to tell me that what you have done is the same thing as what you point out that mortose is doing PLAYING GAMES with people heads!!!!

No offense Akkarin but I'm not, she brought herself in when she played this game

The subject did state it was an 'exploration' of something, so I dont think it was completely without warning. Sometimes exploring is a bit risky and uncontrolled....

Perhaps Apprentice experiments could go in the Apprentice section, but it depends on what was being explored. I think its human nature to explore, and seek out creative energy. So I think the trick is to be supportive no matter where it ends up.

Now back to trying to get Br John's cartoon image out of my head.
