Kane, dearie, I never said there were no Gray Jedi, simply that you weren't one, the way you described yourself. Here's what the definitions are:
"Dark Jedi use the Force for their own ends while attempting to utilize other powers of the Force, owing no allegiance. They do not exclusively bond themselves to either the light or dark sides of the Force. While a Dark Jedi can use Jedi and Sith Force arts with ease, they rarely obtain the mastery of either side."
"Dark Jedi and the Sith are often confused as one and the same but are two entirely different entities. Dark Jedi study both the light and dark sides of the Force and for whatever reason have chosen to use both, yet have not sworn allegiance to the Sith (and sometimes actively hate the Sith)."
"Gray Jedi was a term, sometimes used pejoratively, that described Jedi who were thought to operate independently and often outside the strictures of the High Council. ... By 130 ABY the term Gray Jedi was used to refer to those Force-sensitive individuals and groups that, while not following the Dark Side, were not part of the New Jedi Order and/or served other institutions above the will of the Force"
"Most Gray Jedi had a tense relationship with the Council; while, for most intents and purposes, they were loyal members of the Jedi Order, their maverick natures often put them into conflict with it, especially against more conservative members of the Council."
In short, Gray Jedi are (depending on what time you're in) either Jedi who disagree with many of the Council's rulings, but are still loyal to the Jedi, or Force-users who are not Jedi, but still do not use the Dark Side. Dark Jedi are basically unaffiliated Force-users who use the Dark Side. The only difference is whether or not you accept the Dark Side.
