"Hello, Kettle??   This is Pot.  YOU'RE BLACK!!!"


Yeah...don't go there, please.  If someone came up to me wearing polyester garb or Birkenstocks,
and tried to deride me for using an undocumented recipe, I'd tell them where they could shove it,
in no uncertain terms.

Let he who is without sin throw the first stone.... or else keep your jaw closed.

If you can't be 100% accurate, then you sure as heck shouldn't heckle someone else who is not 100%
accurate.

And maybe some other people just need to mind their own business, and not try to detract from
another persons efforts.  Maybe??  Maybe??

It gained bearing the moment that person opened their mouth to question the author's motives or
intentions.

If your own house isn't in order (100%) then you have no right or reason to question or accuse
others.  That's the pot calling the kettle black, and it runs rampant in the SCA.
