Vivat...one thing i would say is this...the SCA is a family..what type of
family, how close knit, etc...is what YOU make of it....a rule of thumb i
have used over the years....is what i said or did going to impact someone to
the extent that 5-10 years from now they will still hold it as close as they
do now ( as either a good feeling or a bad feeling) I would hope that the
good things, the hugs, the smiles, the demo pulled off at the last minute,
the saving a tent from the storms at Marlow,  the lessons on rapier field
etc..are the things that remain....we have to remember that sometimes the
things are really not so important as to disband or distance us from our
friends or family...tho they may be hurtful or irritating or seen as stupid
or mean....how long do these really last... Just as in mundane
families....yes one of our "relative" may piss us off or upset us....but
wait...it depends on the day or the week....eventually another "relative"
steps up and makes us forget what the other one did.......it all comes
round....

I give this man a Standing "O". I also remember the times in which I was
accepted, nay ENCOURAGED to voice my opinion and not looked down upon or
chastised for "Not Being Politically Correct" within the society. These
things of which he speaks are the things that brought me to call a Group of
People, commonly known as the SCA, friends. I had grown to enjoy the
camaraderie and friendship that grew among our circle as a whole within the
SCA. I still occasionally find people and circumstances that do live what I
believe to be the dream although they are few and far between within the
realms of "Political Correctness" in the modern version of the SCA.
