Deleting your account

I would if possible like the ability to delete my own account.

Recently I was banned on Force Academy and found it helped me move on from that community.

Of all the Jedi websites I like this one the best, however I still feel it is a drain on my life.

If there is a method by which a user can delete their own account could someone share the method to do so?

If not I publicly request my account be deleted or banned.

I really do not wish to be apart of this community any longer, but feel compelled sometimes to post on topics I have specific knowledge on.

Not having an account to post with would help me personally move on from this site.

Personal information can be deleted but your posts won't be. Just don't log in again. If you find that difficult then ask that your password be changed and don't request what it has changed to...

I'll just post in here once every month or two to renew my request for account deletion or banning.

I wonder about your self control...

In this area, not your overall self control...

You make yourself out to be a master of yourself, especially your physical side, and yet cant stop coming to an, in the big picture of the universe, a piddly little website?

So, when you want to not watch TV, do you throw it away? Simply remove the temptation?

How about the internet? Do your trash your computer when you've seen enough porn, er, I mean cat videos?

While I am sure, there is something out there that says we have to do as you ask, legally...

How about our obligation to our fellow man? And helping him to improve ourself?

Which is what we are suggesting...

Well I don't know about account deletion but posts will not be deleted as they are our property (which sounds ominous but is standard procedure for sites such as Facebook and Twitter...)

You know Maynoth, Im not sure you realise this, but there are a number of people who do value your participation here (when you are engaged rather than just posting), and do wish that you were able to be more a part of the community without feeling "drained" by it. I for one hope that you can eventually see this place and people with a different perspective because I think you would be very surprised at how supportive it can be, but of course, your path is your own and if you feel you need to leave, then that is what you should do. But consider this;

He's finally listened to my advice and got out. Don't drag him back here now! lol.

He, truly, doesn't belong at Jedi sites that exist now. In my opinion, he needs to make his own site. He has unique enough views to justify one. And, for the record, I'd join it.

me too. but only to climb the ranks quickly and seize control in a bloodless coup. like a Jedi Spring.

I agree Connor. My point to him both privately and publically has always been that he has a lot to offer, he just needs to offer it in a way that doesnt make people want to reject whatever he says outright.

Des, part of me wonders if youre kidding...

I tried creating my own (non jedi) site once, it just filled up with 12 year old adhd dbz fans.

I am not sure creating another Jedi site is the answer, any more than creating a dragon-ball-z-ism forum would be the answer.

There just aren't enough serious people in any community, the serious individuals are all Atheist and changing their minds even with in your face proof would be next to impossible.


The rational people I need to convince can't be convinced, the irrational people I can don't need to be apart of the community in the first place. It's a catch 22 of the highest degree.


The small handful of people I've found that were interested just want to mix it with magickal ritual, and cast spells, or do reiki along side it, or meditate with vipassana meditation, or use it to contact Thor because the avengers is cool, or use it to shoot spirit bows because they think they are a quincy from bleach, this isn't the sort of person that needs to be pursuing it.

Then I suppose the question you should be asking is, why do you want to "convert" anyone to your way of thinking?

(which is an ironic thing to say considering that your general opinion on the content of what you believe is shared by many here)

My very first venture to the Jediism community started off trying to be the nicest and most polite person I possibly could be, I was eaten alive.

I've actually had less problems since I've adopted the "BS stops here" approach.

Converting not so much, getting someone to see for themselves and make up their own mind yes.

I'd like to find one person like myself.

You haven't yet mentioned what progress you've made so it's hard for anyone to understand what your talking about. All I've seen is bits of Tibetan Vajrayana and some QiGong bundled together with some unconvincing videos.

There are plenty of people here who practise various things to achieve progress in different avenues. Including those very same things as you!!! All you need to do to fit in here is focus on your own path and be open to sharing with other people if they are interested, but without attacking other paths like calling reiki and vipassana 'BS' etc.

To each their own is indeed true, and I wish you all the best in whichever pathway you choose to follow...

However, balance in all things is necessary not only for life in this community, but life in the international community as a whole. Going to one extreme or the other is only a way of seperation, so why not maintain a presence here to draw council, discussion else inspiration when needed for your own works?

As Master Jestor pointed out, it does seem odd to throw out the TV after enough Game of Thrones else DBZ, both of which are near impossible to get bored with So, why cut your ties here permanently if it can serve to help you in the future?

Food for thought

I hope you realize how different Neigong is from Qigong.

dude, they both contain 'gong', gah. what more do you want?

I've tried but you know it winds up being used as ammo against me so I don't any more, rather I just tell people to see for themselves, there is more to reality than you believe or your popular paradigms allow for.

What I've experienced is about as believable as a grown man who thinks he is a Quincy and shoots spirit arrows from a spirit bow while talking to thor.

It's best I keep what I've experienced to myself and encourage people to see for themselves.

you do realize how ironic this seems. as harshly as you judge others is most times as harsh as they judge you. you are not qualified to pass judgment on others. neither am i. not even jestor. pretty much no one.
