Yeah, I thought I was done also, but I'm not.....

Well at least I know I'm good for something, even if it is pushing 
someone over the edge.

I have made no reference to peer-like, or non-peer-like qualities in any 
of my posts.
I am however making a direct reference to those "basic good manners" of 
which you refer to above.

I'm sorry but posting information, of a nature that by your own words 
the vast majority of people on this list are not privy to, on a public 
forum, sure looks like innuendo (insinuation, suggestion, implication, 
allusion, hint) to me.

If in fact someone is going to post information about someone possibly, 
maybe, having a breech of SCA official duty, my opinion is that it's 
pretty poor manners, and following SCA rules and guidlines pretty poorly 
as well.

The Aerie was not the forum to start, nor end this on, as I stated in my 
first post about following the grievance process. If a bunch of 
"closed-listers" are bickering amoungst themselves about someone else's 
work, or work ethic, but do not follow SOP (standard operationg 
procedure) to follow thru with it.....why the hell post it on a public list?

Sorry, but some friends of mine have been publicly accused of something. 
Either make the whole argument public, or follow the SCA grievance 
procedure.
