[Artemisia] Reading

[S CLEMENGER]

Conrad, with all due respect to your preferences, there is *NOTHING* in the way this list is set up that limits us to SCA-only topics.  I know, 'cuz I just checked.  Unless His Excellency, Sir Yumitori says otherwise, of course (as actual list owner), the Aerie is just a mailing list for the Kingdom of Artemisia.  Nothing in the list description about staying on-topic.  Nothing about acceptable topics.  Nada.  It does ask us to use SCA standards of courtesy and chivalry, which would probably make it a bit more dicey to try to discuss really controversial topics, but I haven't seen any of that in the chitchat about books that's populated the list the last few days.
Frankly, I think it's been refreshing.  Other than event announcements, this list tends to be pretty moribund, so it's nice to see something happening on it.
If you don't care for the current topics being discussed, I cordially invite you to start a new thread, or start using your delete key.
--Maire, being a bit abrupt, but not being rude either (which she's also good at...and sarcasm, as well, and she's not using that one, either....)

  Sure, 
     
    Here is a brief outline for you.
     
    Things related to:
     
    The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) or medieval history in general up until about 1650 AD.  If you want to throw in the occasional Artemisia specific sort of information, like where to find something related to an SCA centric project that seems fine.
     
    Does that seem reasonable?
     
    Otherwise, if you just want to talk about anything at all, lets talk about the War in Iraq, or why Mormons don't make good pets, or perhaps how you discipline your children (if you have any) or why its ok to say the "N" word in rap songs but not in public.  Cause if you just want to debate mundane topics, I'll be happy to tell you why you are wrong because you don't agree with me.
     
    So, really, if you want to talk about Harry Potter or some other mundane subject, go ahead, just consider that you are doing it on a topic specific environment on which it does not belong.
     
    I'm not trying to be rude.  Honestly I'm not, I'm very good at rude and this isn't it.
