[Bryn-gwlad] 'scuse me while I get on this soapbox

[Brian_Martin@Dell.com]

If you weren't trying to say that young members were better then you
shouldn't have stated that recruiting people in their 50's & 60's
wouldn't do the SCA any good. Words have meaning. I know that you may
not be mature enough or have the education to realize that, but it's
true. You have a good point but that point was lost in the insulting and
immature manner in which you tried to make it. 
 
Also, attending demos doesn't mean much if you're obnoxious and put
people off - in fact, it may do more harm than good. I don't know for a
fact that you're obnoxious at demos - in fact  I don't know you at all
nor would I care to - but given the manner in which you express yourself
on this board, I can guess that you are. 
 
I don't know to whom you were referring with your "Master Pompous"
remark but if it was me and if you're actually interested in what I've
done for recruitment, this barony and/or Ansteorra in the 20 years since
I joined the SCA just ask me. I'll be glad to come to fighter practice
and tell you in person. 
 
And I really do recommend that you look into using a spell checker.
You're emails would carry more weight though they'd be less comical.

I wasn't trying to say that younger people were better members but that
we need more people to start young in the sca and grow with it, we have
lots of great older members now but they won't be here forever, we need
to realize that so we can start a cycle, catch them young so that in
10-20 years they have the experience with the sca to keep it going. As
for what I do I have gone to every demo except one I believe since I
joined the sca and am working with Isabellica and others to work on our
recruiting. What have you or Master pompous done?
