> I've been doing some thinking.. (yes, I know, for me this is a dangerous
thing.) about playing in the SCA.  I started in here just 3 years ago...
this month to be exact... and at first I found it VERY relaxing and loads of
fun.  For awhile now tho, it's been NEITHER. :(  For the past several months
have noticed a running stream of issues.  There are a LOT of politics going
on, a lot of backstabbing, lies and other downright objectionable things.
We get enough of this in the mundane world... why is it being brought into
something that is suppose to be fun??????  Far too many folks are bringing
hot tempers in and sucking all the fun right out of something that use to be
enjoyable.  Now I don't politic.. have done everything I can think of to
avoid it.  Clear down to giving up a belt that I was quite honored to be
offered.
> To back this up, I've also noticed as of late that event attendance seems
to be a bit more.. um.. sparse than it use to be.  Granted, a lot of this is
probably due to job, money, certainly the high price of gas issues.  But how
many others out there feel as I do and tend to avoid events due to the
behind the scenes stuff going on???
> I think it's high time we ALL sat back and objectively looked at how we
are playing.  I like to think of the SCA as my extended family.  Sure
families tend to squabble and have issues.. but things are starting to get
excessive which is not good all around.  So please folks... chill.. have a
drink.. get a massage.. whatever turns you on. :)  And let's bring back the
fun in SCA instead of all the anger and hard feelings.

anything.. Aww heck, someone just bring me a tablero board, a bottle and
someone to play with and I'll be NICE and Happy once again.. hehehe
