[Bryn-gwlad] Upcoming Demo - Pirates of the Caribbean. Please read, I need input.

[Ronda Melendez]

When I stated that some might not consider pirates to be period, I did not 
mean myself personally, because there will always be someone who will argue 
at some point or another as to what is or isn't period.  :-)  With my 
persona's background, I am well aware that pirates in some form or another 
did exist.  :-)

My apologies if my comments did offend some of you....  :-)
