  as to #3...
   
  We were simply looking for a nice day for ladies to get away and work on things without distractions.  We're INVITING ladies to come should they wish, and as there will be some trying on, measuring and thus, thought it wiser and more respectful to our husbands and boyfriends if we kept this event for ladies, it's also in respect for the modesty of the ladies as they are trying on garments and working on things.  Please don't be offended...we'll have PLEANTY of fully inclusive sewing circles...and other things as well.  Feeling that having equal access does NOT include gender specific situations like CHANGING/FITTING  (such as is this event) or Bathrooms.  And I Know a few husbands would be HIGHLY offended it we had NOT made this situation for the ladies and explained that.  This is not a regular, repeated, event.  It is just to get ready for protectorate.  So, my beloved Bjorn asks that you respect the ladies modesty and just chill, please.
   
  We do not expect Skorragardr memebers to do anything.  We simply invite them to come should they like to.  That is all.  Just as my husband and I were able to attend and enjoyed the company of everyone at Woodlands last week.  But not everyone in this area can make it that far.  This new group is to provide oportunities for more play to even more people.  Not to take anything away from Skorragardr or Namron.
   
  As to #1...I thought it was nice for you to announce and invite...just as we announce and invite...things that are going on that might appeal to members...I don't recall responding in ANY WAY negative to ANY of your posts at ANY time.  So I don't understand the attack you made to mine except that perhaps you weren't in a happy mood and we might have just been in the fall out zone.  I hope that's all it is...lol.  
   
  As to # 2.   
   
  Spelling-schmelling!  I've been told by MANY respected members of the SCA that spelling is indeed a mundane or modern concept.  Has anyone read Chaucer lately?  Sheesh!  My feeling on spelling is that I do the best I can...and I understand that I mangle other words from time to time...Especially Viking...and I'm married to a viking...  So my motto for that is that I niether smell nor spell like a viking! (My viking finds it amusing...and it is meant just that way...to be amusing)
   
  So, in conclusion....EVERYONE....let's quit bickering and picking and have fun!  The only time spelling truley matters is when filling out paperwork or in advertising.  What TRUELY matters is PEOPLE and their feelings.  Let's agree to respect each other's activities, input and love of the GAME (because that is what this is...a game).  Let's thank Caius for his invitation to KAF, let's cut out the spelling police, the garb police, the grammar police, let's quit knocking down other's attempts at inclusion and creativity, let's quit, each and everone of us, acting like we know more than the next person about everything, and lets start being better to one another!!!!
   
  I, for one, know that there are TONS I don't know about the SCA....I don't have to have a 3rd party point out what I don't know on a public list, and neither does anyone else.  People that's just rude, and we shouldn't  be rude to one another, we should build one another up.  if there's something you feel a person should be corrected on, that CAN and SHOULD be done in a CONSTRUCTIVE manner.  
   
  Thank you for your time, and I hope this is taken in the positive and constructive manner in which it is intended.
   
  In love and service.
   
  Sami

          1. I was offering to set up a merchant booth at KAF, I didn't ask for
people to whine about why they didn't want to do it, I have plenty of
liability insurance, and years of real world running and owning a
store. I just don't want to be tied to the booth all during the
faire, because I have a lot of friends who will be there and it has
lots of fun stuff to do. I can bring out my modern sunshade and set
it up. I was just offering someone from Skorragardr a chance to go
with me and sell their stuff in trade for their assistance.

2. 'Loner' gear and 'loaner' gear is all probably 'layring' around. 
If we know what we are saying, why do we need someone from somewhere
to be our spelling nanny? I taught High School for several years, I
am happy to read Americanenglish in whatever form it manages to come
across. I am worried less about spelling that enthusiasm. We do NOT
need people pouring cold water on our new officers attempt to get
light weapons fighting started in the canton.

3. Okay, why did a group start in Maysville? I understand it is
because it is too far to drive to Norman? Then why does the
Skorragardr group which is 30-50 miles further away from Maysville
than Norman is, keep getting messages to come and help out? 
Especially Gender biased, exclusive messages that are against the
various Federal laws and regulations against discrimination? Is a SCA
group allowed to announce events and meetings that are not for the
handicapped, not for Moslems or Christians or not for Men or not for
Women? I think you better look at the SCA charter and rules.

Have a great week!

Caius Fabius
acting as the herald for
the Canton of Skorragardr
