[Ansteorra] Voluntary tagging

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings Krag,

Yes, Robin is correct. I figured that someone would pipe up pretty  
quickly. And it took Robin less than 30 minutes to warm you from when  
I posted my message. Even if he nor anyone else had, I would have  
posted a clarification, probably later this evening.

For those who might be unclear about what wearing a blue feather means  
to many people, or if you just want more information, see this file in  
the SCA-INC section of the Florilegium:
Blue-Feather-msg  (15K)  2/15/00  An explanation and FAQ for the SCA  
guild for
                                      gay/lesbian/bisexual folks.

And lest some folks think I engaging in some kind of gay bashing, or  
that that is common in the SCA, see this file in the SCA-SOCIOLOGY  
section:
SCA-gays-msg      (16K)  2/15/10  Acceptance of Gays and Lesbians in  
the SCA.
