Divorce is never easy, but it is not a "great evil".  The OP should not have
brought his dirty laundrey to this list (or any other), in the hopes of ...
what?  Chastizing an entire kingdom for something he claimed two people did?

His bitterness shows through in every word of every sentance.  If he truely
feels so betrayed by a group of people, then he should definately not
associate with that group of people (yes, even if it means not associating
with the SCA anymore as he would not be able to dis-associate from the
specific people if he stayed in the SCA).

However, taking his dirty laundrey, and airing it on a public list, not only
"naming names" but calling into question the honor of anybody who may ever
have been associated with the two who hurt him, well, in my opinion, it
shows he has less honor than those he is trying to besmirch (and this in no
way implies the people he named are without honor).

As part of this Kingdom, I do not need you to apologize on my behalf for
something that does not need to be apologized for.  You being "too small" to
do so has nothing to do with it.  The "Kingdom" has done nothing to this
man.  Individual people may or may not have done anything to this man
(remember, we have ONLY this man's word for it, we've not heard the other
side of the tale, nor do I necessarily WANT to hear the other side of the
tale).  *If* the individual people have done to this man what he claims,
then it is their responsibility, and nobody else's, to apoligize (or not, as
is their wont).  It is nobody else's responsibility to apologize for them.
And it is nobody's responsibility to make a blanket apology for an entire
group of people who had nothing to do with the situation in question.
