[MR] People banned from SCA events

[JR]

I have to disagree with you. This is not pure fantasy. No one here is 
trying to diagnose him with anything. I gave my experience with someone 
that people also did not want in the SCA. How is it fantasy to share how 
our perception of this guy changed after we understood him better? I 
only said that I have worked with people who's Doctor has diagnosed them 
as having Aspergers, and they were sent to a Psychologist that 
specializes in Aspergers Syndrome to confirm it. In my experience 
working along side these people, each and everyone of them made me feel 
uncomfortable when I first met them, but after I learned how to better 
communicate with them I now call them friends. To sum up what I am 
saying, I am suggesting to give the guy a second chance and get to know 
the him better before you ban him.
