SC - authentic/not authentic enough WAS: cooking times

[RichSCA at aol.com]

Agreed... and it goes both ways.  
If you convince me that period food tastes bad (via intimidation, bad cooking 
or any other methods) and I believe it, I am one step further away from 
authencity.  

If you attempt to convince me on playing the game MORE BETTER (via 
intimidation, rudeness or any other methods), I am, again, one step further 
away from authencity because most people pull against what they are forced to 
do.

Which is why I personally feel that newcomers need to be taught (when 
possible) by those who have some experience (and positive experience) in the 
SCA.  Because it is fighting an up hill battle to change thoughts and 
opinions once they are formed. (not saying it can't be done) 

IMHO,
Rayne
