It happens at all levels.  I know a person who has actually told the
Crown that I don't deserve my awards and I only do it for the awards.
THE greatest pity is that she actually believes this.

When someone gets a
 Peerage, there
are always some folks who think, "They didn't get it
 because they
deserved it, they just got it because they're a friend

Quite true.
I had to dress someone down the other day who was moaning about
 how so and
so got their AOL, and all they are is the child of a peer. *She*
 (the complainer)
had been a member for 8 months and had worked her butt off
 at 2 events.
I jumped in with..."Really? And you know he (the child) is 12
 years old
and has been working in SCA stuff for 7 years. He has taught at 2
 youth collegiums,
cleaned and served at 12 feasts, participated in 7 A&S
 events, and
done things as unwelcome to most as checking the privies for
 toilet paper
at the war, and cleaning up garbage off the fighting field at
 night...."
Of course she
apologized and said she wasn't aware of all that. I said, "Yep.
 Next time
try to find out before you spout off. Everything is one sided if
 you don't
know what you're talking about...."
