Oh, NONSENSE!!!!  There is NOTHING in Corpora that is anti-game.

You cannot do a catch-and-kill onsite, you have to bring it in as peeled
meat (so to speak).  But certainly, you can serve game, and in some areas
they would lack feast without.  Why, venison was served at the event I
attended weekend before last.

If people are telling you think, look them dead in the eye and say, "I
cannot find that information in Corpora.  Where do you see it?  I would like
to read that section."

If they decide that no, it is a local law, repeat that you want chapter,
verse, and photocopy.  Ask them from where they learned the information.

If necessary, tell them you checked and all the people whom you trust on
this topic seem to believe it is complete hogwash.  Therefore, unless they
can give you solid basis for their arguments, you are just going to ignore
their claims.

Sometimes, I have looked back at my behavior and learned
not to make the same mistake twice.  Other times, I have
merely learned to make it again with more style.
