[Artemisia] Sigh. Another black eye for the SCA

[Hellfyre N'Brymstone]

It was a VERY poorly written article and because they did NOT specify the
SCA I am inclined to think that it is not our group.  However, with that
being said, I have come across numberous references to this on facebook that
reference SCA players.  Unfortunately, we are the face of "sword play"
usually, whether it be larping, boffers, bellagarth, or whatever it is this
idiot does.  Looking at his kit I would be more inclined to think that he
was a Thunder member in a Tu-chuks clan but again, thats assumption.

We are not above having idiots in the Society (by sheer numbers alone it
can't be helped), but with that said, hopefully local folks try to keep them
well at hand.  And while its not our job to police our friends, I know many
a Knight/Duke/Fighter that have provided (by voice & sword) "words to live
by" when something/someone has been seen as unkind or abusive.
