Hahah.

(Dear Public reader: All is ALWAYS well. :) I'm not an anti-productive troll. If I post a controversial topic, it's because I want discussions like this to take place. Besides... somebody needs to keep Jestor on his toes)

I know you don't take it lightly.

Just because I dont know any of the history, or politics, is this the conversation that people keep eluding to between Force realism and Jediism?

Appologies if im opening up a can of worms. Jestor, please delete if its an issue.

Brenna.

If you are interested in a Jedi politics history lesson, especially involving Opie. You may PM me. I'm sure any of the older members of the community could help you as well. It's kind of off-topic for this specific post, in my opinion.

Brenna, Opie has written a couple of articles here and there about how jediism is a pile of rubbish. google is your friend. (search "opie mcleod jediism")

Connor Lidell wrote: That's fine.

Two things, just to be thorough on my part:
1. Consider asking the user to remove the links on their own first. Too much moderation = dictatorship in my opinion. Not good for my stomach. ;) hahahaha. But, do what you'd like, of course.
2. Ignorance is not bliss.


1. there are limits in place preventing you from editing. Personally I am opposed to them.
2. Nothing to do with ignorance/knowledge. It's about not giving exposure to things we do not support, in this specific case, to things that are hostile to us.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Of note: there is no disconnect between Force Realist and Jediism because Kediism is a Force Realist Movement. The disconnect is between, specifically here, Jedi Pragmaticism and Jediism.

1. True. Thanks for the reminder.
2. Personally, I don't agree with this methodology. But, I respect the council's decision on that.

Geez, can we subdivide the community some more?

Im assuming "kediism" is a typo? Or is this some crazy new thing?
