As far as I can tell, we seem to be no more a haven for trouble
than any other not-for-profit. As people have pointed out around
Pennsic-tide, Pennsic is a burg of more than ten thousand people,
and, while most people are going to be nice folks, there'll be
some townsfolk that won't be. I don't see a reason to change that
assessment.

Let's wait and see what the jury will decide. That's my take.
Otherwise, all that dustup at Runnymeade was for naught.
