Both isn't entirely unrealistic... You don't have to use your force powers for either good or evil. Take Jolee Bindo from KotOR for example--he rejected the jedi order because he didn't believe in the anti-love anti-attachment thing. However, he was still a lightsider, even though he didn't go around hunting down criminals and such. So despite the unequalled coolness of the Dark Side, I'd be both.

That's impossible--you would never be able to willingly turn away from the Dark Side after becoming a full-blown Sith. The lure of the Dark Side is such that even the most powerful Jedi find it difficult to resist.
God I sound like all this is real
I disagree entirely with Revan's first point. 'Both' is a cop out answer. The ethic of Star Wars is very clear- Light OR Dark, no inbetween. If you reject the anti-love attachment thing- you are heading towards Dark. You can leave the Jedi, but you would still be either Light or Dark. The Jedi do that with good reason. And in reference to the poll- doing whatever the hell you want... is ALSO Dark. That is selfishness. Do not think that by doing good deeds one day and bad the next you will somehow be between Light and Dark. A Sith may perform good deeds if he wishes, or it amuses him. Does not make him a good person.
I agree entirely with the second- the Dark Side is not a revolving door. Anakin may have turned back but it cost him his life; once you start down the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Forget about going back and forth.
I am a Light sider. The Dark Side is impossibly paranoid; you cannot live like that. Being a Jedi is hard but at least you can feel fulfilled.
If you are Light Sided and 'turn to the Dark' that's it, you know. There should never be anything, ever, that you HAVE to use the Dark Side to succeed in.
And just because a Sith helps another, that does not make him using the Light Side! He would only be doing it because it benefitted him on some level, even if it is just he enjoys his company.
