[MR] Face Thrusts

[Siegfried Sebastian Faust]

Found on the Pennsic Web Page, from the Society Earl Marshal:

> From the Society Earl Marshal:
>I have declared personal war on excessive force face thrusts. Simply put, 
>they are illegal and will not be tolerated beyond " one off " incidents. 
>Ignorance will not serve as a shield. Directed Touch has been, and is 
>still, the SCA standard and will be enforced. I am not disposed to discuss 
>the definition nor compromise with standards in other kingdoms that have 
>allowed harder than a touch for face thrusting.

And in response:

> From the Marshal-In-Charge of Pennsic:
>In order to comply with the above statement from the Society Earl Marshal, 
>the Marshals overseeing the Pennsic battles will be instructed to watch 
>for and take immediate steps to remove any offenders.

So be careful with your face thrusting in general (as this is a 'general' 
ruling, not just a Pennsic ruling).
