The entire reason you must battle with your Jedi Marks and defeat them is because you tell them that their thoughts of being UBER because they have a glowstick are not going to happen, and that even though they have a Jedi doesn't mean they will win all the time vs. non-jedi.
Why do you think they are all talking about there is no point to fight you guys we will just cloak or force run away? They keep losing, and they hate it.
Jedi keep losing because of an imbalanced game system that currently has a certain BH template very powerful compared to a fully templated Jedi. Jedi should innately be more powerful than any other template simply because of the time and effort put in. Your point was made, but you displayed your own "I'm Uber!" behavior with this statement. Just remember when Jedi are brought into balance, that you shouldn't complain just because BH's "keep losing, and they hate it." You just owned up to the fact that Jedi are underpowered, and are not 1.5 times stronger than other templates as they are SUPPOSED to be.
You really want to be stronger than everyone else at the expense of the whole entire game? Sigh. But you want none of the difficulties or challenges. Sigh. No hope for this game I tell you.
Oh and the poster you quoted was not saying that Jedi are weaker than everyone else, he was saying that alot of Jedi feel that they should win without effort just because they are Jedi and that is not how it should be.
I love being a BH, and have been one since Oct. 2003, I have a lot of pride in my profession, but come on couldn't you have come up with a better role model than the BH with a mullet?

managed to find my mark hunting in a spin group, so I decided to play it cool. I was able to join the group under the feign of grinding out XP like everyone else
Sounds like you were going to do the same thing, wait until the jedi's health was low and kill him, just another BH beat you to the punch. Not sure I see your complaint here other then being frustrated because you took to long to take out the jedi. You make yourself sound self-rightous by acting like you were going to take the Jedi head on in a fair battle, but if that was the case why were you being sneaky by joining his group?!?
Sounds to me your the Jedi and are pretending to be a BH to complain. If Jedi dont want to be huntedthendon'tgrind out the jedi profession. Go play with your free toon that nobody else gets.
Why make a database of Jedi's templetes?!? especialy since a templete can be changed so easily. Sounds like a complete waste of time. Ever watch that Bounty Hunter show I think its called Mad Dog something, You dont see him walk up to his mark and say, hey im a BH get ready. He jumps there @ss before they know what hit them. Thats the way of the BH. Call us what you want, does not hurt my feelings. Hell ill kill Jedi if I see them AFK. Thats right us BH are scum of the earth and proud of it. Atleast we have an excuse. Jedi gank squads will attack anyone regardless of there CL on site. and Jedi are suppose to be the respectable ones LOL

J3di want to manipulate BH into this whole "fair honorable" duel thing because they know it will be to their advantage. BH even has a tree called "Dirty Tricks" that supposed to teach them "vile" tactics to use on their mark. (Described as such in game.) The title bestowed upon BH at the top of the investigation tree is Stalker and that is appropriate. Think of a lion or wolf in nature. Like most predators they go for the weak, the lame, the small, the disadvantaged. The whole affair is about the best opportunity. The BH ought to think in that manner. The manner of predator. So when you are low force and wounded, guess what? Great opportunity.
About the time the devs made itclear BH vs J3di was indeed intended to be a one on one affair and not a gank squad, they also pointed out theadvantage of BH was picking the time and manner of attack. Period. Barring exploits the role of the BH in a hunt is to "set up" their mark.
Now if some BH like to duel J3di that's fine and don't try to sell us the idea that it isintended to be that way. It isn't. Again, that doesn't stop a BH from assigning their own idea of right to a situation and a BH was not intended|designed specifically for stand up one on one duels with J3di, or any othermark for that matter. The reputation of a BH is built on being consistently sucessful with missions|marks. Honestly what employer, such as the Empire, would say, "Hey you never succeed and you sure are honorable." Clients want the job done.
Yes I am repeating myself. 
It gets old and I wish J3di would stop trying their weak mind tricks here. I can't say I blame you for trying though.
