[MR] Tired of ignoring political cheap shots

[Medwyn]

One of the things I've always liked about the SCA is that it is one of 
the few places (if not the only) where people put aside their political 
and religious differences. I don't hide my political leanings, and 
neither do the other members of my local group, and I am definitely on a 
vastly different part of the political spectrum than they. But we 
generally just don't bring it up, as it's not relevant to what we're 
here to do. You mention tolerance - this is an organization that has FAR 
more tolerance than any group I have ever encountered. You have 
Christians, Atheists, Pagans, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, 
whatever - and we all get along with each other and enjoy each other's 
company. I think the country could take a lesson from us.

As for the comment, I, too, saw it as more of a Leno-esque joke, but I 
can see how it may have fallen flat. Maybe we should go back to leaving 
mundane politics out of the discussion. That seemed to work rather well :)

And, backing up what Diederich said (if only for clarity) - Duke Logan 
was not the one who made that statement. It was placed in the middle of 
a quoted response to something he said.
