[Artemisia] crosses in heraldry and as site tokens

[Jeff Webster]

In keeping with the whole "reenactment theme" of the SCA. I think we (whomever we is) should allow crosses as site tokens. If someone objects we should brand them a heretic and burn them.  How 'bout them apples!

 OK OK just kidding. Lighten up.  Please don't come at me with fangs bared or other implements of destruction gleaming at me. It was a quick transgression to allow everyone time to chuckle and have a good time for once. 
 I am not sure what the big deal is. I have personal opinions about the "political correctness" of crosses as site tokens. Whether it is expressly forbidden by corpora or not, if it offends even one person, then it should not be done. There are other really cool things to have as "danglies" 
 That being said, I cannot for the life of me see what a simple cross on a silly pewter token has to say about anyone's personal beliefs or religious persuasions. If someone gave me a Star of David, or some type of pentagram or something like that to wear for a silly site token, I would do it.....knowing full well that it in no way changed my beliefs, rights or sanity. 
 For the love of .............well better not use that saying, as it may offend.
 I think this all started over a cheap way to have site tokens, cool looking site tokens.  How about someone letting the initial writer of the post know about other tokens that are less costly as well. Maybe something you or an acquaintance has come up with. That would probably be a productive way to end this whole thread.

Lets talk about other cool stuff to argue about,  Lets see......hmmmm........circlets.  No?
