[Namron] The solution to problems at WAR

[DraegonvnBarfelz at aol.com]

I know I'm rather new at all of this, and at the same time, not entirely 
privy to all of the information concerning this Gulf War/ADA issue.  I personally 
will not be attending War this year since I cannot afford it finacially, nor 
can I get that much time off from work right now.  But, this is my opinion on 
the matter.

         What I have been able to gleen out of the emails is that apparently, 
the autocrat(s) of the event are the one(s) creating an issue concerning 
reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities.  Apparently, these issues 
are now being discussed legally by the B.O.D.  My question is this.  Is it not 
possible for these issues to be resolved in house by the Royal Courts that 
will be present at the event?  Am I safe in assuming that the autocrat(s) answer 
to the respective Court(s) they represent?  If so, then why can't the King's 
of the respresented Kingdoms get together and hammer out some reasonably 
acceptable guidelines for the autocrat(s) to follow concerning these issues.  If 
that is possible, then maybe the Society can avoid the implied lawsuit it might 
be facing?

         Based on what I've seen in the emails so far regarding these issues, 
that is what would make sense to me.  I personally believe that yes, 
reasonable accommodations should be made for people with disabilities, whether that be 
a specially designed golf cart to an electric or standard wheelchair to 
aluminum crutches.  Whether they're period or not shouldn't matter if these items 
are required for the person(s) in question to enjoy the event and the game they 
wish to participate in.

If my opinion steps on any toes or offends anyone, please understand that it 
is the opinion of a man still learning how this game works.

Blessed Be,
Draegon von Bärfelz
