Well here we are at the inevitable place. I really have to say I'm not pleased with the way this turned out, but I expected as much. I'm rarely one to speak up in situations such as these as anyone who knows me will attest to. Why the fighting? Why the hostility between temples? It boils down to this. John and Todd are fighting and people are made to suffer for it. I have been around them far longer than only a handful of you can claim to have been so please don't come to his defense and tell me how great he is here, because I know he is. Yet when he's not here he's not so great to people. And don't get me wrong, I've seen him treated not so great be people when I believe he was really trying. Yet we do teach people how to treat us don't we? And that's just the plain truth. This has the smell of a personal vendetta yet all of OUR work is gone, not yours. How should the members of TOTJF react? How would you react to us if the roles we're reversed? I think if you used a measure of honesty with yourselves you would see that maybe, just maybe, every post made about this that even hints at an attack at John is not so off base. If we're really Jedi then we must try to see all sides, not just the one that benefits our emotional ties. There's truth in every lie and sometimes, a lie in the very truth we cling to. May the force be with you all.
