ANST - Banishment Commentary

Sat Oct 31 21:38:48 PST 1998

Very important note. In this country any private individual, and
supposedly organization, may discriminate however they want. If I
don't want you to hang out at my party because you look funny, that's
my right.

Banishment is the "personal opinion" portion of it.  If a person is
banished because they have violated some law, then the SCA is on
strong legal ground.  However, if someone is banished just because a
person or group of people decide they just don't want the trouble that
goes along with having that particular person around (which is
possible under the current rules), well, since there is no legal right
in this country to discriminate just because you don't like someone,
the Society is left wide open for a lawsuit if the person wants to
pursue it.
