[Artemisia] Comments regarding latest BoD announcment

[Chuck Heisler Jr.]

Greetings, 
   
  To respond to this example, I don't see how the Crown banishing a person doesn't fit the bill?  Even for just "the duration of the reign".
   
  And if you can ask someone to leave the site, then what more do you need to do?
   
  I always thought we left Mundane legal issues to the Mundane authorities and dealt with our own issues, like whether a person is a danger to those at the event, to the people in direct responsibility for the decision, Crowns, local Seneschals and Autocrats?
   
  Isn't that the way we WANT to do it?

There is a **huge** difference between being preceived as a negative depiction of the society and being dangerous to other SCA participants. right now there is very little recourse within the SCA for those who, in the mundane world, would probably be investigated by mundane authorities. A R&D takes a long time to implement, and in the meantime, there may be further harm caused.

For example (and this has happened, IIRC) - someone who was being investigated on sexual assault charges by the police showed up to an event in one of the Eastern kingdoms. He was making overt, highly inappropriate sexual comments to some of the female event-goers. By the current SCA rules, all that could really be done was to ask him to leave. IIRC, he did leave but he was not happy about it. What would have happened if he had continued the behavior? 

I would like to see some other methods by which this could be appropriately addressed. I am not sure that I think this proposal is the way to go about it. I have yet to thoroughly review it. I am merely suggesting that there is usually a reason that such things become proposals.
