Product Information

Jedi are guardians of peace. We believe in helping all those that are in need, in whatever form, to the best of our ability.

What I find sad though.....is more and more these days.....The behavior of defending others is being looked down upon more and more....Not just with Jedi....but all over. I was always taught being a White Knight was a good thing.

Anyways, if you have something constructive, personal, and new to bring to the table, I'll love it. If you're jumping in on someone else's behalf, making broad generalizations, and end up straw manning your ideas, it's really a waste of both of our time. Of course, if in any doubt, there are other, less abrasive ways of offering someone support. The 'thanks' button, or a gentle PM... What makes the online world any different? If we are not behaving as Jedi and mistreating our fellow comrades with pushy, insulting behavior. Guess what. Im jumping in, ya all can deal with it. I do not stand for bullying - I don't care what the topic is about. Although White Knight behaviour can sometimes come across as form of Egotistical arrogance (and indeed sometimes is just that), bear in mind that within the TOTJO it may often be a sign that someone is trying to put parts of our doctrine into practice, such as the following lines from the Knight's Code: But when we do encounter it, it's often well-intentioned even if unwelcome and clumsily enacted. Just something to remember when we find ourselves on the receiving end...

Unfortunately...in an online world, we do not have the luxury of seeing physical interactions with the textual words. We must all make that call and accept the consequences for it.

I know sometimes I'll try to jump in an argument on behalf of one side and interpret my understanding of that when I'm not a part of the debate. I'll don my big kid white knight armor and ride upon my hashtagged steed into battle against the obviously wrong other side to defend the silent damsels (or dudes) in distress. And for the times I've done that, I apologize. It appears my definition of ‘white knighting’ is somewhat different. I was introduced to the phrase in an article I do not remember, however the gist of it was a negative connotation. Someone ‘white knighting’ would do so for an ulterior motive, most of the time the adoration or simple gratitude they stood up for. In that, the goal of white knighting was not to help, but to receive something from the harassed.
