I'm way behind in trying to read all these recent threads. However, I  
can offer some of the files and articles written by many different  
people which can be found in the Florilegium which talk about the  
ideals of courtesy in period and in the SCA.

Those that are new to the SCA might also find some of the other files  
in the NEWCOMERS section to be helpful, as well.
