[MR] Re: authenticity...and the SCA as a joke

Bonjour all

I have found these emails long winded, and stressful. When Duke Logan speaks, 
How can so many take what he says for granted? He is only speaking of the 
truth. The SCA as we know it now, does NOT look like, or act as it should! How 
can I bring my children to an event, where their is people that choose to run 
around flaunting themselves, in a "bad" manner? How do I tell my children that 
nipple rings are not period? We all try to recreate the living history. But why 
should some of those be over looked??
As the "Knights" in blue jeans........COME ON!....Atleast wear jogging pants. 


I don't think ganging up on someone and nit picking his every word, is 
respectable. In our society, he is a Duke. He deserves some respect. I am tired of 
listening to people gang up on others, because they don't know the "REAL" 
person.

Everyone in the SCA should "Try" their best to make the most "authentic" 
chairs, garb, etc., to the period they portray.  I cannot say as much as chairs, 
Mine is still a work in progress, but my "Coleman" chair is well covered. 

Longed winded, and stressful good-byes....
