silence is also, at times, far from consent or agreement but a time of
fact finding and verification.

Atlantia,

Silence is often viewed as consent or agreement, so I
will take a brief moment to refute one small part of
this post.

The Atlantian rapier community serves Atlantia, and
while we look to our Queen for guidance, inspiration
and a representation of grace, we are servants of this
Kingdom as a whole.  This whole includes heavy
fighters, rapier fighters, cooks, autocrats,
seneschals, water bearers, dukes, counts, knights,
laurels, pelicans, lords, ladies and newcomers.
Within each of those groups are people with whom you
might not wish to associate.  But also within each of
those groups are examples of nobleness and goodness
that might move you to tears, or better yet, move you
to try harder to be noble and good yourself.

Whoever this gentle was, his views do not represent
the views of the rapier community as a whole.  I can
think of any number of heavy fighters that I respect,
admire and indeed wish to emulate both in their
martial prowess and their personal behavior.

Master Magnus, I beg you to take this matter off the
list, and I ask the Peers of this realm to deal with
this matter as a whole.  I do not speak for or against
Master Magnus or Prince Logan, but for the sake of the
Kingdom, this matter must cease to be a public feud.

In Service to Atlantia,

Lord Kynnyth Pyke
Free Scholar, Academie d'Espee, Atlantia

***QUOTE FROM MASTER MAGNUS***
A man recently wrote me about possibly joining the
Great Dark Horde.
This man is a decent guy, and a fairly serious
reenactor, trying to
do period kit, but very put off by the politics and
behavior of
some people here. He pointed out to me that the
Atlantian Rapier folks
are dedicated to serving the Queens because they
believe there is a
higher perceived degree of Honor and Behavior amongst
their members
than
the heavy fighters. [I think I got that right.]
