Has anyone really said anything so bad as to warrant removing his or her 
abilities to voice an opinion on the Merry Rose?  Are we prepared to be 
so hard on one another that differing opinions can not be voiced, and are 
therefore essentially silenced?

This Society is based on chivalry, courtousy, and other virtues deemed 
worthy to recreate and carry into our non-sca lives.  We SHOULD be a 
beacon of understanding and diplomacy.  Is this really an unrealistic 
expectation?

I certainly hope that little to no mail is sent requesting anyone be 
removed from this forum.  It would be a sad day indeed.  Especially when 
someone new to our kingdom suddenly wonders if he or she will be outcast 
for having questions...

or an opinion.
