[Sca-cooks] "the Coopers" was Pennsic history

[otsisto]

Thank you. This makes things clearer. I had the impression from your post
that the public official was a Pennsylvania official and that what was being
squelched was Pennsic and not the Gulf Wars.
It is a possibility that someone in that Cooper camp may have tried for a
monopoly or poorly communicated some issues and problems that they have had
with SCA and Pennsic.
Thank you for the clarification.

Ok I'm not a lawyer, this is not a court of law and I'm not sure what
constitutes hearsay but when I have a public official, the mayor of a small
Texas town if I recall correctly, tell me after the event that certain of
"the Coopers" just happened by prior to the event while on their way to
somewhere else I listened.  When I heard him say that they had filled his
ears with unflattering comments regards the SCA I listened.  When he told me
that they had gone to the extent of  advising him how much should charged
us, I listened.  Among the things he said was that we were not anything like
what was suggested by them.  I left the conversation with the distinct
impression that he felt that their visit had been made with the intent of
scuttling the event.  By the way if you have ever been to the part of Texas
the 25th Year Celebration was held you will realize that it is kind of a
back water and not really on the main route to anywhere from Pennsylvania.

Sorry I left you with such an odd impression.  My understanding was that in
trying to squelch the site of Gulf Wars it was though that "the Coopers"
were attempting to eliminate a potential rival to Pennsic by taking steps to
prevent Gulf Wars from ever occurring.
