I read what you wrote, but disagree with your interpretation, as outlined in my previous post but also because protector/guardian denotes the external interaction whilst warrior can safely and easily describe the internal focus ie; inner warrior. To your position though, I'd argue that the dark side enables that which it so dramatically represented in the fiction, but does not necessitate it. Therefore the practise becomes perhaps risky, but not inherently evil. The individual is responsible for their actions, society has no place for that fictional antagonism and this is not a role playing site/community. So as others have said it seems more accurate to judge the individual, and I'd be careful about using blanket labels to focus negative emotions, as that is a type of dark empowerment in itself (imo).

To be a Sith does not mean you are focused on evil...on crime...on destruction...whatever else there is. This is the fictional interpretation of the Sith. However, just like in the Jedi community, you will find those who take things a bit too far. And this is why you can't judge the Sith as a whole. There are people who look at us Jedi and see a bunch of nerds wielding plastic lightsabers and wearing robes all the time. What you're doing to the Sith is what "outsiders" do to the Jedi community. Make accusations...stereotype.
Now, a lot of Jedi I have met do not use the different Jedi and Sith labels (protector, healer, warrior, inquisitor, etc etc) mostly because those are labels for the fictional aspects of the two groups. Some Jedi and Sith will use these labels to better define what their intentions are, but most won't go walking around saying "I'm a Jedi protector" or "I'm a Sith inquisitor" or what have you. As I said, it's because these labels are more for the fictional aspects.
Much like the labels listed above, you will also see things like "light jedi", "grey jedi", "dark jedi" and so on. Once again, these are used more for showing people the path you follow, and not really as labels like in fiction. You will also find that with these labels come different interpretations as to what each one means. That's the great thing about Jediism and Sithism...there is no set definition for anything. You make of it what you want. You get to define yourself. You can throw a label out there to help people figure out who you are, but most know that it's just a tool, and not an actual label. That's how I see it, at least. I've been here for 6 months now, and I have yet to use any of these labels (at least not to my knowledge) because I don't want to people to make judgement based off of the fictional aspects of those labels.
Now, I will be honest and tell you that my reply is coming off of most other people's replies, because most of the time I really can't understand a thing you're saying, lol. I'm not picking on you or being mean, because I know this isn't your first language and that you are learning, i'm just letting you know where my reply is coming from. So if I ever hit on something you that didn't really say, I apologize in advance

I have seen class-based titles here though. Can anyone PM me the significance as far as the Realist Order goes?

Well... in Europe, isn't bilingual speaking pretty much par for the course? So the only trick then is to become fluent enough to pass for a native English speaker.PatrickB wrote: I hi williamkeade I am composing in English all right and i am not arguing with anybody and it's true my education is french speaking and i practice two languages how smart is that.

English is up there, though. We've got too many linguistic rules and exceptions and junk.
I dunno, I'd say the Sith are more Lawful Evil. They don't really go for the crime stuff. They're more interested in rewriting the laws, THEN doing the bad stuff.Hadi Apollos wrote: To be a Sith does not mean you are focused on evil...on crime...on destruction...whatever else there is.

Now to Patrick since that is your real name, you infer to Sith as being evil. That must include myself since I too refer to myself as being Sith. Strange but I wonder what the people whose lives I`ve saved over the past 13 years or the 138 people whose welfare they place in my hans in day in and day out? Stranger still I haven`t in all the years I have lived not only not killed one single person but also I have not killed any animal. But like you say Sith are evil so you are probably right!
In light of all this discussion it does seem that War is far more reaching than the clear cut soldier with a gun in his hand!

The difference between that parallel and Patrick calling Sith evil is one of ignorance on the subject matter.
War, war is sometimes a necessity. And then you have pointless war. The difference between them is a matter of motive. War between tribes to obtain land is pointless war. War to gain freedom from an oppressor is righteous. War over a woman (Helen of Troy) is a pointless endeavor. War to eliminate a fascist leader (Sadam Hussein) is righteous endeavor.
Of course this is merely my opinion. Others are free to judge as they will upon it.

Funny you say that, I just read on BBC news there was a call to have Bush and Blair tried for war crimes (At the hague)... Need I say the majority of commenters agreed. What is righteous is defined by the majority (at least in a democracy), and it would seem the majority (in the UK at least) disagree with you.War to eliminate a fascist leader (Sadam Hussein) is righteous endeavor.
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

all the nice people saying 'you first'
'no you first'
and never getting anywhere
and also when was the last time you saw on the new
' SITH INVADE BRITAIN'or
' THE WHITE HOUSE WAS BLOWN UP BY SITH'
or even '9/11, work of terrorists or the sith?'
so i think the title of this topic is wrong and should be renamed to something better than this
not to cause offence or anything
thats my opinion

...........I would like to request that you actually sit down with a group of Sith and actually talk to them. Your views are so twisted about who and what they are. I'm not a Sith and even I find myself getting offended about how you view them. Well, offended may actually be too strong of a word, just can't get my brain working right tonight to find the right words, lol.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to educate. Just from the things that i've seen posted in these forums by those who are Sith, I can tell you that your views on who they are don't match up with who they really are. And it's not fair to them to be judged the way they are. Take the time to really talk to them, to get to know them and who they really are...what they really stand for.
And I say "them" and "group" because much like in the Jedi order, the Sith order has it's varying opinion of who they are and what it means to be Sith. Learning is part of being a Jedi. We do not pass judgement or make accusations...and we especially don't do this if we haven't taken the time to truly learn about those who we are judging and passing accusations towards. So I ask you to open your mind and to take the time to learn about these people. If you truly believe the Sith are out enemy, then remember a great quote, "know your enemy."
I personally believe that to not take the time to truly learn who they are, is part of ignorance. And as the code states:
"There is no Ignorance; There is Knowledge."
And the Creed:
"I shall never seek so much...to be understood, as to understand."
I could also start quoting from the "Jedi Believe" section, but then I really would be here all night typing, lol.
I hope that this time, my point will come across. Basically, stop judging them by what you think they are, and start learning who they REALLY are.
May the force be with you, my friend!

I don't know what else there is that can be done to explain how real sith actually behave other than maybe a live demonstration (provided they don't murder the camera operator :woohoo:)
I am however deeply troubled by such sweeping generalisations of people because of a name they have chosen
But then again we are all just role-playing nerds with too much time on our hands and run around with plastic lightsabers fighting evil forces and tricking people into ignoring our cool droids; so what the hell would we know anyway?
