YOu know, I've been treated rudely by new co-workers, but I didn't see that 
as a reason to quit the job.  I've been treated indifferently by church 
members when I was new, but I didn't see that as a reason to quit church 
(other reasons for that).  I've not been noticed until I've done something 
noticeable at PTA, but didn't quit over that.

Either some people lead very lonely lives, having given up on every group 
they've considered, or they are holding SCA to a different standard than 
other groups in their life.  I can see treating the optional (SCA, PTA) 
differently than the required (work, church for many) but still, a rude 
person or two amongst the first dozen or so you encounter is par.

Bonne
