[MR] Don't blame Atlantian fencers

[karenmackavanagh]

As far as I know, this proposal about the peerages did NOT originate in Atlantia but in other kingdoms. The posts on this list from people whom I know to be fencers have been opposed or neutral to the idea of expanding the peerages. My impression from discussions of the peerage subject on Atlantian RapierNet is that Atlantian fencers are generally NOT clamoring for knighthood or an additional peerage. So the people who originated this proposal in other kingdoms are *not* doing us Atlantians any favors, however good their intentions. 

I humbly request of the supporters of the peerage proposal on the Merry Rose that you consider whether you're doing more harm than good to those fencers, archers, equestrians, etc., whom you think deserve peerage-level recognition.
