Banned, Not deleted...

split from.... http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/forum/Health-physical-fitness-and-wellbeing/109595-dropping-facebook?start=30#179805

My point was, (which was obviously missed), was all I had to do was request I wanted my account deleted, and action was immediately taken. I am in no way complaining, I needed the time away to sort things out. Kohadre on the other hand has brought it up, asked for deletion and still, here he is, for which I am glad. Kohadre, the Temple needs members like yourself who aren't afraid to voice opinions which may be unpopular, I hope you reconsider before you are "banned."

Your point was not missed, but mine might have been...

Yes Zenchi, action was taken.... Not the action you requested...

To someone unclear about your particular case, it might appear that someone 'jumped at the chance' to delete it, when that was not the case...

Kohadre is not asking for "banning, but a deletion", from what I understand... I could be wrong...

And, I wanted to be clear, to others, that deletion does not happen...

As to Kohadre, I too hope he reconsiders, but, then, 'this place isnt for everybody"...

Many people have left, and stop by periodically...

I hope he does too....

No reflection on Kohadre, but when someone says, "no one cares about what I say, I am leaving", and then they stick around, I wonder why? This is not the first time, and I always wonder...

Is this a plea to be listened to?

Convinced them to stay?

Is the person posting this, hoping that in an effort to retain members, we will 'give in' to their requests/demands?

Just sort of a wondering statement... There is no one answer, I understand this...

But, when I quit doing stuff, I generally dont walk in and announce it... I just quit...

Always struck me as interesting...

And, I wonder, if we are such inferior quality of people (Jedi?), why delete an account? Or ask to be banned?

Shouldnt the superior quality person have the self control to not log back in? EDIT: Maynoth comes to mind, lol, as he ask for banning.. I believe I said as much to him...)


Why would someone put something on the internet, of all places, without considering the ramifications?

Not even talking about TOTJO, but, other sites and people, bots and who knows who/what look at our site and all sites, and make copies, and screenshots...

Those that we found out about, we kindly (lol, ok, maybe not so kindly) ask to remove the screenshots of TOTJO, but how many still exist we dont know about?

I get where you're going with this, and I see what you did there, lol. Kohadre feels pretty strongly about something, very much the way I did before I asked my account to be deleted.

Its not just a person wanting there account deleted, as the act itself is their last method of attempting to get a specific message across, and they feel as if no one is listening. Its a little like suicide, only not.

I didn't just want my account deleted, it was also my last chance to raise awareness towards a specific problem, one I felt that was not being addressed, and ill not speak of it here as its in the past and I sure don't want nor see reason to dredge up personal past bs.

It's not perfect Kohadre, but turning your back on it won't help it any. Not everyone agrees how things are done or managed, it's work in progress. I seldom agree with the council, but I believe in this path, would like to see it become more widely accepted as a religion, even if it isn't my own. Fight for whatever change you feel is necessary. Of course its an uphill battle, would it be worth doing if it weren't?

People do that? I didn't know that why would they do that? Seems weird.

Yep... And we deal with them as we find them...

Fortunately, we have only found one, but the TOTJO symbol has been used in other places, and we have tracked it down too...

It does seem weird...

But, have you been to some of the darker corners of the internet? That makes this seem not-so-weird, lol...

I've been to the darkest of corners ,but even they had some sort of deluded purpose. I just don't know what's the point of that, plagiarism?

The only one I can think of is the appearance of legitimacy.

Dont know, and dont care...

Point is, it does happen, and people need to be aware... lol...

And when found, needs to be addressed, lol...
