Apologies

[STDDLY at TINY_TIM.SHSU.EDU]

I have seen many improprieties in the SCA. I have seen the worst side 
of peers and non-peers. I have seen people get awards because of who 
they were sleeping with and people who did'nt because the Crown asked
someone they knew who was against a person, so one who was long 
deserved did not get an award. 

I have tried when I can to right some of these improprieties. I have 
sent in award reports and urged others to do the same.  

I am not a sheltered pearl by any means. I now have had opportunity 
to see these things at a Known World level and still I stay. 

And for the most part you will see me at events talking to and 
encouraging people. I am usually there explaining the SCA to a 
mundane passerby or to a newbie who looked uncomfortable.
