Thank you, Aine, I don't think I could say better than this. Amen.

I just think that as people are growing comfortable with what they think the SCA should be like, they tend to be bold in their evaluations of others persona/period/occupation or what ever else they can nit pick about. I remember a time up north when Japanese personas we looked down on. And when new people who showed up to an event in Ren faire attire they caught flack from others. I would hate to have the future of the society jeapordized because of stereo types. I mean to say if any one of us has made it this far into the Society with out at least one mistake or ticking off one person or group of persons I would love to know who. It just seems that we are getting a bit judgemental and closed minded as time goes on. I wish every one could just stop analyzeing everybody else and
> enjoy what we have built and encourage these new comers to improve upon our foundations. No malice intended, just concern and the hope that we can all just get along.
