[Artemisia] Sigh. Another black eye for the SCA

[Dave Dudley]

I fail to see why this should be a black eye to the SCA.  Yes the article
made the assumption he was, but even beyond that it should be about the
people.  If he was caught beating his daughter with a baseball bat would the
news organization even point out it was because he was a member of the local
baseball team?  Or even if they did would people think it was because he was
a baseball player that he beat his daughter?  No, they wouldn't.  But
because this is exotic and outside the norm it will probably stop being
about the stupidity of one person and about the tools he uses.
