I guess I partly right. People have stopped going on about "the topic" and have moved on to how they have the right to repeat themselves as much as they want to hear themselves speak (web minister please note that was not a personal attack but a general statement if anyone was offended by that it is due to their own guilty conscience not due to personal attack). And how because it is their right to do so the rest of us must overuse our delete key to make them happy  So there is no need to tell me to check my history. I knew all about the horse and your over sensitivity does not trump my ability to use the image of kittens.

>> Please, the analogy of an interminable, sensless discussion to 'beating a dead kitten', is horrible, especially since I am a member of a cat rescue group, and have several foster kittens I am raising until they are old enough to put up for adoption.  We would never beat a dead one.  Anyway, the proper phrase is 'beating a dead horse'.  As in a dray animal who was driven unmercifully until it died, and the drover continuede to beat it trying to get it up and moving.  Check your history.

>> Discussion? Or beating a dead kitten? This is the second time this year that this topic was brought up and it has gone the same way both time with the exact same people on the pro and con sides.

>> Take any angle at this you want but you're not going to change minds one way or the other on this list.

>> Any "discussion" about this kitten after this will solely be looked at as people wanting to hear themselves talk for no other reason than to enjoy the sound of their own voice.

>> So start your letters to the bod and please stop beating this dead kitten.

I will support the crown, as long as they serve the kingdom. But I don't believe this conversation is helping anyone. The SCA is composed of folks from different cultures, religions and beliefs. We will never all agree on topics, but should respect each others decisions. We are family.
