I have found that in my recent posts, I have provided rational arguments with a fair amount of solid grounding. These are on such issues as specific JAT actions, general JAT actions, and the war in Iraq.

In each of these discussions, the resulting counter-arguments have been kept mainly to personal attacks against myself. I find that apparently, many of you who feel you have more power, do not like to be proven wrong or questioned, despite the intelligence of my arguments.

It should be noted, as reflected by some of the comments, however, that most of these intelligent arguments are not my own arguments. They instead are taken from reputable sources, and merely put together with my own little spin on the topic, for what it is worth. If people think I am an ass for having someone or something more reputable bring up an argument, than that is that. I don't make myslef out to be intelligent, I just know where to find and how to use intelligent sources. If people hate me because I bring an outside intelligent source to the discussion, then that's your shallow opinion. Don't make the mistake of thinking that the intelligent source that I am using is myself. I think that if I bring hard outside evidence to a table, instead of making myself look like a fool by using my own intellegince, I am not arrogant, but wise.

So again, it seems as though people simply hate losing an argument, or having a hard fight ahead of them in it.

It is said that in a disfigured society, the one with an unscarred face is ugly. I have also found that in an ignorant society, the one with intelligence is the idiot. Perhaps that is what has happened here.

I am sorry that I attempted to use my tools of intelligence to argue valid points. I am even more sorry that many cannot refute intelligently, and must reduce things to their lowest denominator, and attack the author of the argument personally. I have found such personal attacks carrying over into gameplay, which makes it unpleasant to play. I did find it enjoyable to join as a different name, with the impression that I was an initiate. I even took a class and fooled an instructor into thinking I was an initiate. The change was great.

These issues, along with others that have been brewing, have caused me to draft up a request to resign from the Academy. I have not yet gone forward with the request, as I have hope left, however small.

I do find it repulsive that first I stick up for my Padawan, and get attacked for that. Then I qustion the JAT, and get attacked for that by JATs. Then I refute the JATs views, with some decent argument. Then people think I hate the JATs, and start attacking me. And the thread gets shut down.

So I take the suggestions and argue politics in a separate thread. However, when I do that, and introduce outside evidence that is credible, I still get attacked personally.

And this is the internet, but is not a public forum, but a private one. Each member subscribed to some form of respect, and while you are entitled to feel that I am arrogant in using sources outside my own head, I feel it is still wrong to violate that respect issue so easily, both here and in-game.

I did wish to benefit the Academy with my wisdom, intellect, and ability to make good points, yet I see that they are not welcome. The Council even wished to provide me more tools to better help the Academy in these areas, yet I feel that again, this help will not be welcome.

I spend enough time arguing among intellectuals who are not my friends. I merely thought that I could make valid points with friends, but apparently there are few here. It was stated that “Knights are the most respected student position in the Academy. Their fellow Academy members should treat them as such.” Yet I feel we are far from this. If you are truly the bunch that can only attack opposing arguments by attacking the person, then I do not wish to be a Knight, representing the elite that the Academy has to offer.

I have no qualms about departing an Academy that has members like this. But if the members are truly of better sorts than this, I may consider staying.

As such, I have left this open for discussion. If you truly wish to personally attack me again, post here, and there will be no more trouble for you, for the thread will be gone as well as myself.

I am truly sorry I brought my wisdom into the Academy.

My First Day At the Academy!

I would like to tell you a short story. I am not a "gamer" and have only **played** JK2 for a month.

My first day at the Jedi Academy was almost like the first day of school in grade 7. I was in a new place, with lots of people around, but no one really noticed me. I walked around aimlessly, watching duels here and there. I had no purpose, no direction....until I met Ulic.

He showed me around and talked strategy with me so I did not get my butt kicked as hard. (Please note that I still regularly get my butt kicked). He gave me the willingness to stick it out to my first class with Hux. Hux is great! I have enrolled in a few class since then. I hope to attempt my learner's trial within the next week.

Simply, I would not be here without Ulic. Hey I am not a great player (or even good). But Ulic noticed me, welcomed me into the community and gave of his time to help. He was not arrogant, he was not rude, he was just there. That's what being Jedi Knight is all about....right?

I have no knowledge of the posts that this post is arguing about. Frankly, I do not care. But I do care about Ulic. And I think that everyone should spend less time arguing on the Forums and more time developing better players so that we can enjoy our JK2 recreation.

Thanks, Ulic, for giving the joy of JK2 to regular folks, like me.

The End.

LOL “You are getting on my tits.” I just wet my pants because I was laughing so hard. I’ve never heard that expression before but I like it.

Well this has got to be the most popular thread in the academy forum right now. That should say something about you Ulic. I don’t know what it says but it says something.

I am a ham sandwich. EAT ME!

He did think I personally attacked him when I said "You are getting on my tits", a humerous britsh expression meaning someone is being annoying. I have apologised to Ulic in several posts and (I think) he accepted the apology.

Ulic, there is something called humility and modesty. That's what MY guidelines are to be a knight. You say you weren't arrogant, you wanted to share your intelligence and wisdom. But who says you are? ;) Dont get me wrong, I repsect you and your intelect, but the time you stop questioning yourselve... you ARE arrogant.
Another thing is this quote:

"A wealthy man has a slew of money. One day he decides to say "I have far too much money, more than I could ever use. Perhaps I can use it to benefit others." So, he gives to charity with this attitude. The charity looks at him and responds that he is being arrogant by rubbing his wealth in their faces, when in fact, he is being gracious by giving what benefits he has to a cause that may help others.

So you say that by my imparting wisdom upon you all, I am being arrogant. No. I am sharing what "wealth" I may have with the members of the Academy, so that they might benefit from what is tossed out there to them. "

I think it's a guideline in relegion too: You should donate calmy.
Using your example, the wealthy man can act like: "I am wealthy, I have much money. I want to give you poor guys some of my money. I have enough money to give you. Dont you like me giving you the money? Dont you think it's VERY kind of me giving you that money? But nono, don't mind... I have enough money. Yeah, lots of money."
Lol, or he can act like: "Here" and move on.
This is of course overplayed, but I think it gives you the idea ;)

Remeber theese last words Ulic: The one who does not need to say he's great is the greatest.

"If you truly wish to personally attack me again" - who has done this?.

Maybe I don't read all the posts here but I've not noticed this. You do come off a bit high and mighty sometimes - maybe an language/interpretation problem I don't know? but in my opinion you do have the right general philosophy/attitude that I'm sure we all would like to have stay around.

Maybe its just a case of chill out a bit more?

I refuse to stand by and let a fellow Knight act like a fool. If you truly believe what you have posted, and you truly believe you were wronged, there are ways to work it out. You WILL however, act your age, act your intelligence and above all, act your damn position. We are supposed to bbe examples of how the Academy students should act, and I for one do not want a bunch of pompous whiners.

Personally, I believe that you hide your insults in your so-called "intelligent" posts. Your "imparting of your wisdom" is a "charity"? You have quite a lot of nerve coming into a place where people come to relax and telling them all that they are completely deprived of knowledge and wisdom.

Personally, I believe you owe an apology to the Academy as a whole. You have attacked the whole lot of us several times (in this post alone) just because you feel you were wronged.

This is not a place for people with enormous ego's and nonexistant people skills. QUITE the opposite in fact. So if you would like to come off it, you're welcome to come here and relax with us.

I love you Bubu, but I have to disagree with something you said. You said that when people argue with Ulic they could only come out looking and feeling stupid. I have never felt stupid while arguing with Ulic. On the contrary I think I’ve won a few. But I’m sure he thinks he’s won too, so what’s the point. I know Kalheka doesn’t feel stupid because he made some perfectly legitimate points, especially while quoting Ulic.

Ulic I just hope you consider why it was so much fun to pretend to be an Initiate. I think it was because it is a humble position coupled with the fact that you didn’t have any reputation at all. That says a lot about the academy. They are willing to expect the best out of someone util proven wrong.

Here is another spin on one of your analogys: In an intelligent society, the one with ignorance is the idiot.

I hope you don’t take that personally. I just want you to think about things through the looking glass.

I agree with Bubu and Xan, you're a good man Ulic, and I reallly hope you dont leave. It seemss as if there are people that do not like you, but remember, there are also peope that DO like you :D. I know you've always been a hugh inspiration to me Ulic, every since I joined the Academy I was impressed and moved by your great wisdom and honor. You and two others (Hux and Night) motivated me to be the best I possibly could be. Cause there was a time, where our friend BK here, was a very arrogent and dishonourable warrior. While I did come here with a basic sense of honor, your thoughts on Jedi/Samurai philosophy inspired me. So please, don't leave, but if you really want to leave, I cannot stop you. If you chose to leave, I wish you great luck in your future endevors.

(I normally don't gush like that, so this should be the only post from me you see like this :D. Also please excuse any errors, I'm in school right now and typing on and extremely bad Mac XD)

So the day has come. I could feel it. I knew you would break some day. And now you're leaving. I will miss you, but I must agree with the others, especially Kalheka. Ulic, I have purposely kept out of those threads where you were ruling. Why? I did not want you to make me feel like a fool. You are a good man, indeed. And you are very intelligent. But what people (including me) do not appreciate is that when they argue with you, they can only come out looking, and feeling, stupid. I don't know if you realize this, but that is the situation. That is why people attack you, because they feel threatened.

I really hope you reconsider, and decide not to leave. You have been a great master and friend, it would be a shame to loose such a great Jedi.

Ulic, your wealthy man analogy goes directly to what I said earlier about percieving you as arrogant. You infer that your wealthy and the rest of us aren't, that we really need your help.

Having said that, I will go with your analogy and further explain.

It's nice of the wealthy man to want to spread his wealth and be what's known as a philanthropist. Everyone appreciates that. The problem is that everybody feels that the rich man is rubbing their noses in it while doing what he feels is a good thing.

This was your initial posting on the war in Iraq thread:

QUOTE ULIC BELOUVE:
Do you REALLY want somone who attained an A in American Foreign Policy to weigh in on this subject?

Do you REALLY want someone who has studied the Iraqi stance from a religious viewpoint weighing in on the subject?

Do you REALLY want someone who is currently studying terrorism to weigh in on this subject?

Do you REALLY want someone who is studying Weapons of Mass Destruction weighing in on the subject?

Do you REALLY want someon who has a security clearance to weigh in on the subject?

END QUOTE
And later in the same post.
BEGIN SECOND QUOTE
Because I can come in here with the knowledge I have and smash your opinions to pieces.
END SECOND QUOTE

Ulic my man, the body of that particular post comes off like this:

"I am the scholarly and wise Ulic Belouve, I will school you mortal fools in the vastness of my knowledge and you will weep at your stupidity"

Post after post I've seen of yours that looks that way.

I'm sorry if it what I'm saying to you stings, but you asked for feedback.

Nobody here denies that your trying to be helpful and inciteful. The problem is that you are percieved as the type of guy who wields his opinions like a club, bashing everybody with it.

I know your not a bad guy, and never tried to say that you are. Your just rubbing everyone the wrong way with what you have to say.

Further evidence of what I'm saying comes from your original post on this thread:

QUOTE ULIC BELOUVE
It is said that in a disfigured society, the one with an unscarred face is ugly. I have also found that in an ignorant society, the one with intelligence is the idiot. Perhaps that is what has happened here.
END QUOTE

That statement leads me to believe that you feel like an intelligent man in a pool of idiots. How are we supposed to take that statement Ulic? That's the only way I can interpret that particular remark. Do I seem like an idiot to you?

Let me pose to you a hypothetical situation:

You've done something very foolish, doesn't matter what exactly, just something really f***ed up. Your a responsible man, and own up to your actions. You know you've got an ass chewing coming.

Would you better accept that ass chewing from a somebody you respect? Knowing this person was trying to be helpful.

What would your response be if the person who chewed you out was someone you felt held you in contempt?

Again, look at your very own words: PERCEPTION IS REALITY.

You said that in another thread, you said it didn't matter what a persons intentions were, that the perception was the reality. I've stated to you clearly what my perception of you is. By your standard, isn't that the reality then?

Just reading this thread, you sound arrogant.

This is how your post sounded to me:

"I'm smarter than everyone else. I try to help them by showing off and telling them what to do. I'm not arrogant, just superior. They didn't worship me and I want to leave."

"I did wish to benefit the Academy with my wisdom, intellect, and ability to make good points, yet I see that they are not welcome."

-It's not that. It's your attitude...

"Do you want me to prey upon your lack of skill in argument? Do you want me to prey upon what knowledge you lack?"

-Even though that may not have been your intention, that's how some things were interpreted.

I have nothing against you. We would probably get along just fine if we met in person. Just letting you see your posts as I, and I'm sure others, see them.

Hmmm....

I thought of the analogy that goes a bit like this:

A wealthy man has a slew of money. One day he decides to say "I have far too much money, more than I could ever use. Perhaps I can use it to benefit others." So, he gives to charity with this attitude. The charity looks at him and responds that he is being arrogant by rubbing his wealth in their faces, when in fact, he is being gracious by giving what benefits he has to a cause that may help others.

So you say that by my imparting wisdom upon you all, I am being arrogant. No. I am sharing what "wealth" I may have with the members of the Academy, so that they might benefit from what is tossed out there to them.

If I were arrogant, I would not share any of my knowledge or the knowledge of my contacts. I would not give you excerpts from my resources. I would keep all this wealth of knowledge to myself, and instead prey upon your lack of knowledge, making myself the ruler of the ignorant. But no, I do not wish for anyone to be ignorant. I try to educate them, to think like the intelligent beings that they are, to realize that they do have strengths.

The Academy tries to train you in skills that will make you formidible on the public servers, so that you are not easy prey. I am trying to train you in your thoughts, by imparting knowledge to you, so that you will be formidible in the real world and not easy prey. I have not recieved any thanks, nor am I hung up over it. The mere fact that a few demonstrate growth in this area is thanks enough.

But when you stoop to the level, where your thanks comes in the form of personal attacks, where you get a "psychologist buddy" to say I am arrogant, it is then that I must ask you if you truly want me to be arrogant. Do you want me to prey upon your lack of skill in argument? Do you want me to prey upon what knowledge you lack? I have not done so, because I am not arrogant. I have instead challenged you to develop arguments. I have instead helped to fill what holes may exist in your knowledge. And a group here, which hinges on respect, cannot see that, but instead tries to break me down.

I try to impart skills upon others to relieve whatever tension exists in my mind. These are skills I posess that I wish to impart on each of you.

Many know me to let things roll off of my shoulders. But I will not stand by and be called things that I am not. I will not be personally attacked for a selfless act to defend my Padawan, my friend. I will not be personally attacked for trying to impart knowledge on you, my friends. I will not be personally attacked for trying to build the argumentative skills of you, my friends. I will not be personally attacked for doing a service to people I hardly know, you, my friends. I am a warrior at heart. Anyone will tell you that I am not a wanna-be warrior, leader, fighter. I am a warrior at heart. I will stand up to defend and help my friends. If I am attacked for such, I will strike back with all that I have to strike back with.

So I am not looking for people to beg me to stay. I am looking for someone to look at all of this, look at what I intend, and make a personal attack against me. I challenge that person to two things: one, to challenge my desire to defend and develop my friends here, and two, to withstand my unleashed fury when you do attack.

Hehe Ulic you edited your post. This isn't an augment. You said you wanted feedback. If you just want people to beg you to stay then you should start a thread called "Please Beg Me To Stay." Please think about why pretending to be an initiate was fun.

DJ the ham sandwich reference was all for you baby.

Edit: ok sorry I edited but I didn't want to double post. I just wanted to say I just read your last post on the War In Iraq and I have to say I'm speechless. You showed so much respect for your fellow posters even while burying them:D That is what makes a good politician. Like you said before: Making people do what they don't want to and making them like it in the process. All I'm saying is just pass out a little respect now and then (even if it's false) and people will be happy to get their head handed to them.

Like i said in my last post, ur a good man, I have read many of ur posts, most being quite inciteful, but one thing i noticed is that ur not livin what u teach. U teach not to strike back at an attacker and altho u dont do it in the game, u instead do it here in the forums, theres really no differece. U may c this as a personal attack, i see it as constructive criticism, i enjoy readin ur posts on jedi philosphy and honor, and hope u choose 2 stay wit us, but if u relax a bit, ull have a hell of alot more fun.

Every serious thread we have needs at *least* one ham sandwich reference. :)

Anyhow: Ulic: keep in mind this is the Internet we're all talking on: The land of uninhibited emotion. People tend to speak what's on their minds around here. That being said coming out swinging sounding like you're the bees knees in the world of smarts does make you look like an ass of sorts. I don't think you're an ass or whatever, but you need to see how will people will percieve what you post around here.

First of all, please don’t leave Ulic. I like you and I think your points are well thought out and intelligent. I doubt you are referring to anything I have posted in your threads because you have only acknowledged my existence once (and you spelled my name wrong when you did.) But I have never meant to come against you personally. Just for the record I loved your thoughts on the War in Iraq and I was going to post that, but I didn’t for fear that you might take it as sarcasm. In contrast I disagreed with some of your views on the rest in peace thread but I thought we were having a civilized debate.

You have accused others of making personal attacks against you, but as Kalheka said you seem to condescend everyone. Either directly or by implying that you are vastly superior to them. That in itself is considered personal. You may think that you are the most intelligent person in the Academy, but it doesn’t help human relations to smash that idea in peoples faces like a ham sandwich they don’t want to eat.

Every reasonable person must go through a process of humiliation. I’m not talking about showing up to school with no clothes on. I’m talking about understanding what it means to be humble. Humility is what helps us interact with each other like true friends because it is the best counteraction to the greatest human flaw: pride.

I've read several of your posts Ulic. Maybe I can offer a perspective on things.

I respect your opinion, and what you have to say on many things. However, your posts seem to contain a certain amount of disdain for everybody here. And as you said in a post that I believe is now missing: "perception is reality".

While much of what you have to say seems well thought out and valid, it also seems to be somewhat arrogant and like I said above, sometimes it has disdain as well.

I think that when you offer your opinion, it's done in an overbearing fashion that puts off many. Maybe it would be good for you to step back and find out whats rubbing people the wrong way instead of posting stuff like this.

I mean stuff like, "I'm sorry I brought my wisdom to the academy" is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about here. It comes off as an attitude that your better than everybody else and leaves a bad taste.

Now I know that I also sometimes come off that way, so plz don't take this as an attack. I'm merely trying to offer some insight into why your having so much trouble.
