SC - Reactionary posts and what this list is about- An apology

[Alderton, Philippa]

My apologies, Gunthar.

My thought when posting the Weather and Gays thing was that we were getting
way too antsy, with people perceiving bashing of all sorts in everything,
and I thought that a distraction might get people being a bit less
sensitive- a good laugh generally has that effect.

It's been a problem on several Lists I've been reading lately- you don't
want to know what I had to say to the Equestrian List a little bit ago ;-)

But you're right. I personally joined this List because I was interested in
Historical Cooking in primarily an SCA context. with contacts to be made
with people of similar interests. I really would like to see more on that,
and less on "Them" bashing, of any sort.

For the record, there are only one group of "Thems" that I have a problem
with- idiots, and their determinedly ignorant supporters. Anything else,
whether race, religion, or all that other stuff, including species, simply
makes potential friends more interesting.....
