[MR] Principal for Order of Chivalry?

[Dessert Duchess]

Might I comment that if there was a true desire to settle things in a private and discreet manner, then a simple request to know if there is a Principal for the Order of Chivalry would have sufficed.  There was no need to include statements like "Rather than involving Crown or the BOD, I would prefer to give the Chivalry an opportunity to handle this
 informally and hopefully apply peer pressure to correct this behavior."  Such statements have no place in a private or discreet communication.

In what way does a request for info on a newsgroup/mail list involve the BoD?

For years I keep hearing that mail lists are not official. That anything "announced" on a list must also be announced in an official publication to be considered official. No official complaint has been sent to the BoD. We keep getting told to follow channels and not to immediately contact the Kingdom Seneschal or other kingdom representative. Fen seems to be trying to get this problem taken care of without going to such extremes.

If any individual BoD member wishes to get involved in something he or she saw on a mail list, that doesn't make it official.

As to the comment that something only a Board of Chivalry can be called by the King, there are lots of levels of correction than can be done long before a formal Board of Chivalry is needed. I think this individual was wishing to solve this problem long before it got to that level. Even contacting the kingdom seneschal seems to be jumping a number of levels at this point.

All this individual is asking for is the correct person to contact. Certainly a reasonable purpose in posting to this list.

If you know the appropriate official to contact, then do so. But in this case the correct person to contact doesn't appear to be that obvious.
