[MR] Principal for Order of Chivalry?

[Fen & Michelle]

"...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 - "

Your Grace,

Thank you, I'm seeing that now. I apologize for phrasing it that way. I meant to impart that I have been unsuccessful in resolving this at the lower levels and, rather than moving up to the kingdom level, I wanted to know if there was a specific member of the Order I might contact who could handle this *informally* (ie without launching anything official) and be made aware of the conduct in case it becomes a pattern in the future.

I am concerned about the level of pushback I've been subjected to while pursuing this over the last 5 months. In light of the recent settlement, I believe the SCA should foster an environment that encourages people to step forward if they have legitimate complaints of SCA leadership abusing the populace. 

Regardless, I should have expressed myself better and also been more discrete. Again, I apologize for that. But please know this was a good faith mistake made in ignorance and frustration, not malice. I do have a small hornets nest in my inbox chastising me for that error in judgement, so I won't soon forget the lesson.

Cheers 
Fen
