Now Damaris, you've replied three times in one morning on this thread.
If you want to drop the topic, I suggest as a friend that you'll have
more success in that effort if you stop causing that subject line to
appear in people's mailboxes.
While I happen to agree with the sentiment that inspired Timo's joke, I
agree that this is not the forum to hold such discourses (else I would
have posted on the topic _before_ the election), and so I will not answer
the question someone asked about the connection between honor and the
recent election.
As to your comment about enough (expletive deleted) politics in the SCA,
I suggest that the alternative to trying to talk you into doing things in
the way that I think is best for the group would be trying to force you
into doing things the way I think is best. "The alternative to politics
is force", Hilary of Serendip once told me. On the other hand, I would
certainly agree that too much of our politics is badly done, if that's
your point.
