[MR] Chivalry and Honor

[Steinfeld, Henry S CIV NAVAIR PMA-209T&E/AIR 1.6.3]

Unto the Tavern does Khadir send greetings,
I would also echo these sentiments.  I was Seneschal of a group affected by the Principality movement most recently (TNNP) and can tell you from meetings attended and conversations at the time, there was NOTHING nefarious or unchivalrous in the motives of those people.  They, in fact, did not want to divide the Kingdom, only provide a Principality as an extension of TRM of Atlantia to reduce some of the impact of needing to be at a large number of events during a reign, and improve the 'spiff' factor.  This would have increased 'royal' representation, reduced the obligations on TRMs and, potentially, reduced drives.  At the time, the movement failed, in part, because people not connected with it could not appreciate that no one wanted to separate from Atlantia, but rather wanted to improve representation and recognition.  

If those same misunderstanding fuel this discussion, then the same kinds of results and potentially hard feeling will result again.  Much was said then, not all of which was chivalrous to people who deserved better.  Discussion is a good thing, and it should bring about understanding, not animosity.

Greetings unto all in the Tavern,
In this discussion over whether or not to form a Principality, I would pray that all remember that we are a society that practices chivalry and honor.  I find nothing chivalrous nor honorable in arguments nor in personal attacks.  Debate the idea, present the pro's and the con's offer suggestions and counter suggestions, but please let us remember our manners and the courtises that seperate our society from so many other groups out there.  Good manners start at home.  This tavern is one of the on-line homes for the Kingdom of Atlantia.
Offering peace ribbons for all of our tongues, Ever in service to a shared dream,
