So, there's been an ongoing thread on the Authentic_SCA Yahoo Group about the A&S competition process, pros, cons, alternatives and so forth. This evening someone chose to interpret what had been a perfectly civilized discussion as "uncooperative, isolationist, and disrespectful," clearly ignorant of the fact that some of the parties posting these suggestions were, in fact, members of the Order of the Laurel.
