Attention all personnel

The SCA is not "family."

That is all.

Preach it!


The SCA is a big enough tent that some people can find "fellow travelers," or their "tribe"--but the SCA as one big family? Emphatically not.

Word. I'm not fond of ppl throwing that kind of language around willy-nilly.

I have, in fact, found some individuals through the SCA to whom I feel as close as I feel to some members of my family. This is my own personal experience, not to be confused with How It Always Is For Everyone. Also not at all the same thing as "the SCA is family".

There are just enough people floating around perpetuating that toxic meme, to be reeeeeeeally dangerous 8P

If I were not so hard beset these days, I would be curious about what prompted this, or who would be so delusional. SCA is not family. Some members I feel closer to than members of my own family, but none of that would hold up in any court. That statement and a Metrocard would give me a ride on the subway. *sheesh*

It would help if the initial whiny complaint had demonstrated a modicum of literacy.

Or an acknowledgment of/respect for her putative s.o.'s time, commitment and possible "sweat equity".

Actually the SCA is rather like family: there are those with whom I will happily spend time drinking beer but don't want around if I need to achieve anything; those with whom I work well but in a social setting we rub each other up the wrong way; and also those that I hope only to meet at weddings and funerals.
(And just a precious few that I regard as the best people I know)
