[Steppes] FW: Stargate?

[Jann Mays]

Basically,what I meant by my post is that I can't imagine anyone in the SCA
fighting with live steel swords since we don't do that in practice.  There are
other groups, actors, people who travel with the Renfaires, etc., that are used
to wielding a heavy steel sword.  I used the example of TRF because it was out
of the public eye, wayyyy back in the boonies of the participants campgrounds
and the fighters were being seriously irresponsible.  My aim was to point out
that just because someone was caught with a sword, please don't assume that
they are SCA.  Now, if someone had beaten someone to death with a rattan sword,
that would be another story.  :D

this post.  I'm a pseudo-rennie myself.  Note to others - no reason to get
undies in a wad here.)
