(Internet) life after death

So, I am trying to look at this from your perspective Khaos, however I personally do not see how this is not promoting your Sith Teachings.

Well, for one, no teachings were promoted.

The premise of this thread, is what to do with our online accounts. Should they be shut down, or kept up, and would there be any information sent out to your online accounts of a person's passings.

To which I answered, as this was exactly the situation....Are you confused in some way?

However, I watched the video. I saw nothing in that about the person, except at the very end, where it showed his name. The rest was filled with Sith teachings, in the language of "Borgal" (The Black Tongue), correct me if I am wrong, however I do not believe I am wrong about the language. Also, I do not know what main fundamental teachings are between the two groups, but still, the main premise of my point it is undeniable.

It was a eulogy, which doesn mention the persons name throughout either. As fo the language....I honestly had no idea it was an actual language. The Black Tongue? Ill look it up, but I thought it was stolen from KOTOR 2 ( Darth Nihilis voice). As for that being a Sith teaching, none that I have ever read and I wouldnt be surprised if it was stolen from some book.

Ypur point is undeniable because as you say, you dont know what the fundamental teachings are, and im not sure what would be getting taught.....Did you learn anything? I really didnt read into it that deep. Suffice if you dont know what the teachings are, you cant really comment on if it was one way or the other.

In any case I thought it interesting to post the video because it illustrates an online funeral. Something that your friends might do for you, but there are other ideas.

So, while I also answered your question I put up another way you might be remembered within cyber space.

You know, if a Jedi posted something with a video of "Jedi Teachings" at my site, I would not act this way.

Still, take it as you will.

Not in plain view, but it is the same thing as if a Jedi went there and posted our mantra of the Jedi Code, in form of remembrance video, and just posted a fallen jedi's name at the end. What is the video truly about? The life of that Jedi, or the Jedi teaching.

I understand telling your story about what happened on y our own site, and how his wife informed everyone of the passing. That you archived his teachings, so that it would still exist and people could "learn" from them. However, I watched the video. I saw nothing in that about the person, except at the very end, where it showed his name.

Sorry, I had to re-quote it for you, since you decided to take out where I said you did address the premise of the thread with your story, however I saw nothing in the video that would relate to the thread except his name at the end of the video. I even put the part that you took out in bold for you, maybe you'll see it this time.

I do not know whether or not it was stolen or inspired, I do know however among many Sith that I have encountered they do speak and practice that language. I stated that I did not know the main differences between your groups, because honestly I do not. You obviously claim your site does not practice that language, so my initial assessments were correct. Nor do I have any desire to learn more about the fundamental teachings and doctrines between the two groups.

As I stated it doesn't matter, what matters is, is this video is used under the guise of a remembrance video/online funeral, when it is really used here as a Sith propaganda video that was deliberately placed here to try and relate to your message and avoid possible thread derailment accusations.

So are you saying the video wasn't a sith eulogy/funeral?

You made the point your site is sith and the video was made by sith?

I took this extraneous and a sly promotion for sith. Maybe your not cleaver or subtile enough to attempt that dancing along the edge of tolerence.

I'm exploring my dark side and it's making me strong. Through strength I gain power.

Actually I said it was a eulogy/funeral. I simply deny that it is in any way promoting teachings of the Sith.

Yes, I made the point that the video was made by Sith and my site was a Sith site.

This is not a promotion, its a statement of the facts.

A person as my home site, "Order of the Sith" died. We actually had to approach this scenario with his wife and in regards to his online legacy, etc.

Part of that was a video, yes, created by Sith, but that is in no way a promotion.

The facts are the facts.

What exactly is it you think is being promoted? Other than a eulogy?

I am truly interested in how I got banned for five days for less of an attack,accusations, insults, that I am receiving now.

I do know however among many Sith that I have encountered they do speak and practice that language.

Given that I have been in the Dark communities since there inception and know all of the notable individuals that comprise them and the path, and have not come across this language outside of a video game, if it is indeed an actual language, I find this hightly suspect that it is true.

As I stated it doesn't matter, what matters is, is this video is used under the guise of a remembrance video/online funeral, when it is really used here as a Sith propaganda video that was deliberately placed here to try and relate to your message and avoid possible thread derailment accusations.

What message?

Good lord, I post videos all the time, and not once have I ever gotten an accusation that it was promoting Sith teachings. Some were Sith speaking from Star Wars movies and animations.

I don't think khaos is promoting anything, I think people are seeing things that aren't there..

On topic if I die my daughter will put it on Facebook etc so people will know.. Saying that if there is life after death, ghosts etc.. It may be fun to haunt the Internet for a while lol

Could be fun

Another thought...
Would you all say that we should be perhaps more prepared as a society for 'internet death'.
Some families change facebooks, or notify sites, of death of friends and family but I know that I have a presence in many different places online. Do you all think perhaps ISPs maybe should start offering some kind of 'in the event of your death' service?

As official "pisser off of guests" there were no teachings in that video...

I would have deleted it, and PMed with Khaos...

If you think a video crosses a line, or breaks a rule, please remain civil, and contact a Mod or admin...

Too many people agreeing will appear to be "ganging up" on an indivdual...

I saw no issue here...

I will ask in council about it...

But drop it and go back on topic please...

Its dead and buried Jestor, at least on my end

I'm glad that this thread can get back on topic.

I too have left instructions about online accounts I would want to be accessed and posted about my passing when ever it occurs.

You a very kind person. If I smell BS I have to call it out. Sorry if it offends.

I'll stand by my statement. This is no place for sith stuff, sith are sneaky. I don't trust the sith. Let the readers form their own conclusions.

Peace, love and happiness

Never be afraid to speak the truth. Shine light on darkness.

Bye

I think that could be a good idea. Set up a password and give it to someone you trust, then, in the event of your death, they send that password to the ISP and they post something created in advance by the user.
