missed the point. Go back thru the Aerie, as far as you like, and re-read all of
the posts from Countess Caryn. I'll bet you a dozen arrows you can't find
any rude, impolite posts, no matter how far you go back.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>I can honestly say that
I have been taken to task for "ripping" on someone that is considered by many to
be an example of what is wrong with the SCA, because such ripping is not
considered the proper way of dealing with such people.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>What is said privately
is just that, private. What is said publically is subject to the scrutiny
and interpretation of everyone who "hears" it.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY-
why do YOU consider ripping on you to be held in a different light than a
popular peer?? Perhaps you should consider that maybe, just maybe, the way
others perceive you is not nearly as bad as you like to think. You may not
be quite the martyr you believe yourself to be.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>Of course, I could be
wrong.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<P>> While the Crown is considering this, they have a couple of
Pelicans<BR>> say "check out what he just posted on the Aerie". They do so,
and<BR>> find that Melvin has just nailed someone hide to the door, in a
very<BR>> blunt manner.</P>
<P>1) Doing this is an exclusionary tactic and will only be used as
an<BR> excuse to not to give somebody an award. By the vary
nature of<BR> online communication it is typically blunt, poorly
written and<BR> even the most well intentioned comment can sound
negative.</P>
<P>2) This standard isn't going to be universally applied.
Somebody<BR> ripping on a popular peer might won't be held in the
same light<BR> as say somebody ripping on me. Is there a
difference? No! So<BR> why would anybody even suggest
a standard that isn't going to<BR> be fair and honorable to all
regardless of rank.</P>
<P>3) It's not what is said publically what you need to worry
about<BR> but what is said privately. Politicans will kiss
babies and tell<BR> you what they think you want to hear while
stealing your lollipop.<BR> Just because somebody is saying
something publically doesn't mean<BR> others aren't saying far
worse privately.</P>
