Up until recently,  I had not subscribed to this list.  The SCA list I 
belonged to was enough information.  But then I decided to join the rest of 
the world and see what was happening.
I'm beginning to regret my decision.
It doesn't matter if the movie was historically accurate.  Or if it was just 
a movie.  It doesn't matter if it was based on this book or that.  It's just 
entertainment.  And to insult,  argue,  inflame tempers,  or break-up 
friendship is not right.
The SCA is about a dream.  And honor.  And chivalry.  Unless my definitions 
of these words are wrong,  this thread has little to do with these words.
So could we stop the name calling and insults and get back to talking with 
friends about the dream we are all trying to live?
