[Ansteorra] Royal Hunter

[Doug Copley]

Sir Alexis was not being out of line or rude, he was pointing out what they
have been doing outside the SCA while the pandemic has been going on. He
was only discussing a concern about changing things that it may not always
be for the best.

It might be best to create a new thread, but the comments were civil and
were directed towards the subject at hand.

Eleanor, I would have to disagree with you. It seems that you are making
assumptions that the decision is correct and that Alexis is incorrect to
even question it.

Most of this is opinion based, not based on facts that can be quantified
and verified.
