Vivat, Pug!



Here is another little quandry... There have been occasions when I have
known of members of the Chivalric Order to be most unchivalric. The 
order has been fully aware of at lease some of these, and rarely,
if ever, does anything about it. This reflects very poorly on the
bulk of members that are chivalrous. Chivalry would seem to me to be
at least as important as the ability to bonk somebody on the noggin in
the makeup of a Knight. Perhaps repeated improper behavor should result
in the loosing of rank? Especially of the Peerages?

Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions?

(PS: I am just an observer... not a peer, and not at all sure I
want to be one!)
