As long as you are a member of this Academy, I am your mentor. And I am also Stolide's mentor. More specifically, stolide is your teacher, but I, as admin and academy head, see myself as everybody's general mentor.
Oh really? There's not much I or anybody can teach you? You may have surpassed me in psionic combat, but never assume that you know everything about the psi, or that you automatically know more than someone considerably more experienced with it than you.

Name something that you can teach him.
Just because he says there isn't anything you can teach him, does not mean he claims absolute knowledge of metaphysics. He merely claims that he knows more about it than you. No offence, but unless appearences deceive, he is correct. You might not want to go around acting like you know more than people that you lack much knowledge of.
Once again, no offence, but I doubt that there is anything you can teach me either. You would be better off not claiming to mentor those you have never taught anything, for example I. As far as I am aware, I have learned nothing from you at all.

*sigh*
You seem to be misinterpreting the meaning of the word "mentor". Mentoring is not all about teaching; I am a mentor in real life as well as on this site, and I do not spend the majority of my time teaching my clients. Mostly we talk about things going on with them, and we laugh and we cry together. I help guide them through things going on with them and offer help if they need it. I almost never actually teach them anything, unless they ask for it.
This is how I see myself as a sort of overall mentor of this site. I agree with you, stolide; you have far surpassed me psionically. Arnick too has surpassed me, at least in psionic combat. So what, then, is my job now at this Academy I built, when both of my teachers have surpassed me? Naturally, my students will want to be trained by the other teachers rather than me. The few students who have stuck with me for reasons of their own, I will of course teach to the best of my ability, but otherwise what is my purpose at my Academy?
My only real purpose is, as I see it, being a mentor. Besides teaching my own students, I will for the most part watch from behind the scenes. I will talk with people who want to, offer help and guidance to those who request it, and yes, I will teach those who feel that they need it. So this is how I see myself: my Academy's sort-of general mentor.
Also, I did not say that I necessarily know more than him, just that I am more experienced. This is a provable fact; I have been working with psionics for far longer, I have achieved astral projection, etc. However, I will not deny that he knows more about, for example, psi combat.
I don't want to start an argument or a flame war, either. I just wanted to explain myself for my first post (which, now that I read back over it, does seem a little aggressive too). Apologies to everybody. Arnick, just remember not to get cocky.

In case I didn't make it clear in the last post, it was supposed to be an apology. It just kind of evolved into an explanation and the original meaning may have gotten lost.
So, Arnick2, I'm sorry for what I said. I was tired, and irritated, and it just seemed like you were being all too arrogant in your post, and so I sort of snarled back. I now know you weren't being so, and I'm sorry.

I would like to say, doing something longer is not the same as having more experiance...
Anyways, we should drop this. It is an arguement leading to nowhere

*gasp* No, winnafred, no! Don't give arnick2 a gun! Then we will have to get into ... (dramatic music reaches a climax) A GUNFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I would not give arnick2 a real gun. I would give him something like this: See? It's a perfectly fine water pistol! And it won't beat me in a gunfight!
