SCA-Waste is at it again.

Actual quote from actual person I thought was smarter than this.
"Yes, like so many descriptors, it [the term "fringie]" can be used as a pejorative."

Then don't use it. At all. People clearly FIND it pejorative. Just sayin'.

Oh, and the only reason I'm scrolling through this nonsense is to get info on the demo at the Santa Clara County Fair on Saturday. Anybody caught using the term "mundane" in my presence will be bludgeoned with something hard, sharp and medieval.

"I'm sorry, my modern life is anything but mundane. I'm sorry if yours is. Maybe you should try doing something about that..."

I don't know if they did, but they certainly stopped mooing about it in my presence, at least.

I said my piece...just waiting for the flames. *sigh*

I thought you said it very well and no one seems to be saying much any more. Maybe your good sense worked.

Me too.

When I was a landed baroness, I had to be on the kingdom e-mail list. When I stepped down, I unsubscribed myself, to give my nerves a chance to recover...it's been over five years, still unsubscribed. I think my nerves need a little more time.
