Want to talk about censorship, I could pull up that thread where I posted that and show you how I was proving a point with that statement, oh wait, no I can't it was deleted out of the blue.
Yup, so where mine.
Wonder what Master Ekul thinks of the way Master Mert is then responding to posts. I've been personally attacked in a few of them..wonder if he feels Master Mert should grow up too?
Darin you made an excellent point! Let me ask you something tho, when was the last time you and your Master actually met ever 3 days to train in the server? Not just the past 2 weeks my friend, you have been in this clan for a long time...surely you won't claim to have met every 3 days will you?
Gee, that would be yet another part that is not followed.
For better or worse the Code can't be followed 100% of the time. Nobody would be happy in JO if it was, and I doubt anyone that currently wears the tags should be wearing them if it had been enforced all along.
What bothers some members is the blatant attempt at throwing parts of the code in their face, while openly bypassing other rules.
Councillors have continiously failed to call me by my title in posts, and nothing has been done about it. But when Jedi Rando failed to use a Master's title, he was reminded of that part of the code.
Telling a member to grow up is also not the best way to deal with what is a discussion. The inability to disagree on points without making it personal is something is a bit too comon around here.
I am sure Jedi Rando is not disputing Master Kaeawc back in the C. Surely even he knows this is for the best of JO. But he is pointing out that Code is being bent when it suits certain members.
While Grim is right about the name change and the creation of the new character, Trials never took place. A Padawan became a Councillor without passing Jedi or Knight trials. There was no test for Forms, nor was there a promotion to Jedi Master. Pippin never trained a Padawan. There is a valid point in Rando's views.
The Council was willing (and I agree with it by the way) to move up Pippin in order to have Kaeawc be in the Council again.
However this same Council created a new rank in the forums and changed long time members' access because it deemed them to be inactive when they themselves have been inactive in the past.
Master Lei just made a comment to me a few days ago how he thought it was incredible that members who themselves were very inactive would even consider such a thing. The pot calling the kettle black!
The reason given at the time was that code states you need to be active in the server x amount of times.
So, code was quoted when it suited their actions. They can't be surprised code will be quoted to them can they?
I said it before, what is good for the gooze is good for the gander.
Take it easy Rando, point made. They needed to make mistakes to learn from them. I know at least one Councillor has learned and that can only make him grow as a person and as a leader.
The clan needs to be patient with the current Council. These are not the easiest of times. We are not in the height of the JKA lifespan. I am sure they mean well.
