Unto the Fair and Learned Baroness of Marinus, Greetings!
    I'm not very impressed with the petition that Aveloc put on the website. 
He's throwing too many ideas and demands out at once. I personally agree with 
all of the demands, but realize that most folks will be put off by that whole 
last paragraph.
    As to the timing of the BoD's actions, you need to know that Aveloc was 
in full tilt political mode at Gulf Wars last year attempting to gain support 
for the ideas put forth in what became the Pennsic Accord. The idea was 
formulated and wheels began to turn well over a year ago. He spoke to many 
people about his concerns with the power of the BoD and the lack of "checks 
and balances". Aveloc is charismatic, energetic, and fully capable of 
spearheading a movement for change within the SCA. Cutting the head off the 
snake just seems a bit too tidy for me...
   Aveloc can be a pompous, arrogant jerk. Mostly he's a really friendly, 
outgoing guy who gets a wee bit too focused on certain things from time to 
time. I'm not in a position to defend him from all the things he's done or 
been accused of. I simply know that the stories told to the board regarding 
events at Gulf Wars were far from the incidents that I was a part of. If one 
set of charges is false, I am willing to entertain that others might well be 
also. Add to that the fact that a great deal of the "witnesses" to his 
heinous acts are all from the same household and I think it is easy to make a 
case that perhaps the  investigation, on the whole, was just a little biased.
