I do not know the whole story and to respond to members of the BOD with my
opinion about the half I heard would be foolish.
Knowledge is truth-conjecture is foolish. Since no one knows the WHOLE
truth let us just let the parties involved deal with it. And you are right- to
contact the BOD with your opinion at this point would be very foolish
All I know is I am curious to see how it all works out and the ramifications
it has on our Kingdom.

Curiosity is a two edged sword. Investigating a situation can lead you to
places you might not want to go. If and when the information on the WHOLE
situation becomes available- then a healthy discussion on the topic would and
could be encouraged, BUT-to have everyone weighing in on a subject where all
the information is not present is counterproductive and a great waste of time
and energy and only tends to get people riled up over a subject for which they
don't even have control over. ( See "chicken little" syndrome)
I have seen controversy come and go and ultimately the BOD makes its rulings
for the betterment of the members of the SCA. Sometime it makes mistakes
and when it does-then it is up to the "paying members" of our organization to
express their voice to the BOD and petition for redress.
Once more- I implore the people of our kingdom to let this issue be resolved
by the parties involved. Speculation on if and how it "might " affect us
will go nowhere and just get a lot of people hot under the collar and
ultimately some feelings are going to get hurt.
Let the dirty laundry of the Outlands stay on their clothes line-if the wind
blows in our direction and starts to sully our lily white garments hanging
on our line-then we can complain.
OK now getting off the soap box as I have dwelt too long on this.
