Curiosity led me to (briefly) subscribe to the Chirurgeon's List since I'd been told that Brise was being roasted alive and didn't want to believe it. I can say that my respect for some of the Chirurgeons I've worked with at Pennsic has increased tenfold. I can also say, catagorically, that a certain cook/blacksmith can write the most poisonous viper-dripping rumormongering texts I have ever had the misfortune of making myself read.
Wow. Asbestos glasses should have been required. I feel like someone wedged my eyelids open and stuck bamboo sticks under them. (Yeah, I acknowledge that 'someone' was me but in my defense, I kept reading in the hope that calmed down, rational thinking would emerge - and it did continue in the posts of those I'd already learned to respect (in fact, in the posts of someone who had come across as quite irrational at Pennsic but I can now assume was just based on their initial shock. I'm glad I didn't base my whole opinion of that person on just their Pennsic interactions with me) but I just couldn't force myself to read the last three pages of the archives. I just couldn't. If it got better and I missed it, someone else tell me.
Wow. Just - wow. It's good that SCA policy doesn't allow Courts of Courtesy or Chivalry over email communication and slander.
Wow.
I think I need a drink. And a cleansing wash for my eyes.
