supportive...and to Lord Kensei....May you NEVER be in a position to
HAVE to regret you words , may you never be one of US...you

subsist and feed their children...may you never have to justify your self
worth or wants....

Dearest Beatriz,
Just a note of support for you my dear. The reply that you received in
the above quoted e-mail just goes to prove that the writer is an insular,
pompous twit! I think it is amusing this writer frees to comment, in an
extremely judgemental fashion, upon a particular group of which he/she
obviously knows little, and yet also feels that _you_ should not be able
to comment or have an feelings/opinions about it, when you are obviously
_much_ closer to the issue!!! The SCA has many understanding and
wonderful, sensative people in it ... this does not appear to be one of
them. .... feel free to quote any or all of my message if you wish .. I
fear no evil ... heh heh .... love Maude
