SR - Re: so now we're thieves? ....

[Bob Dewart]

I have been a paid member of the SCA since 1981 except for a few years when
I was not playing due to mundane reasons.  I became a paid member within a
few weeks of joining because I felt that If I was going to play this game I
should put my money where my mouth is.  Because I am a paid member I have
held many offices over the years and done my work to keep my local group and
my kingdom going.  I have been a paid member before, during, and after the
"Milipitas Meltdown". as you put it.  I didn't go away simply because
something I didn't like happened.  And I won't go away now.  My membership
supports my local shire's and my kingdom's membership rolls.  My membership
supports the SCA locally, at kingdom, nationally and internationally.   My
voice already counts in any say on Principality:  I will not simply become a
member to vote once and then go away again.  Whether you are for or against
the Principality, put YOUR money where your mouth is and KEEP it there.
If I have very strong concerns about this push towards principality and the
reasons for it. I will not roll up my carpet and go away quitly because the
pro-principality people do not want to listen to them.  And it seems to me,
from what I have read on this mailing list, that that is exactly what is
happening:  those that have concerns are being told to go away.

PS  It seems from the tag line you end your messages with that you prefer
"pack" or "mob" mentality to individual thinking.

so, having exhausted the other antagonistic battles that you have been
countered on,
you open a new front by publically calling many of us *thieves* ... and by
that you are
stateing that we are less honorable than you because of our belief's (or in
other cases
financial state) ?  i hope you are wise enough to never do that to our faces
in public  ...
i will not kindly to it nor will many others that i know.

not that it really matters (since my take is that you are simply trolling to
cause strife)
up until the "milpitas meltdown" i was a regularly paying member, and i
started playing
as a paying member in '75 ... after the "mm" event, there was nothing from
the
corporation that i had any further use for ...

though i will tell you one thing child ... i have found *one* reason to
renew that
membership state - when the final vote comes for principality, i will insure
that my vote
is valid and will be counted in favor (and have already got the commitment
from several
others in the same situation to follow suit) ... especially if it counters
the negative vote
of one particular loud mouthed fool
