Amazing. There’s something going on here lately (by which I mean more-or-less since the server died) that I find concerning. That is that we seem to be losing the capacity to debate civily. AFAIK there are no namby pamby PC snivellers, or whatever you want to call them, on Historic (you’ll find them in newer and more general places – oops).
Dave’s original (pre-edited!) post essentially suggested a bunch of people from this forum rock into some pub and start to play this game. And that’s where I had the problem. I still believe that playing the dart game in some semi-random pub, on a casual drop-in basis which is what a forum meet would be, is inappropriate. But that’s only my opinion – I voice it, I add it to the fray and that’s that. If one were to deliberately create a reenaction (as the airshow displays are etc.) I don’t have a problem with it – it is a form of memory and reflection. And as soon as you take the p!ss (eg. Damien’s map) it’s nothing at all to get your knickers in a twist about.
So please, all of us, let’s state our positions, have a debate, and not resort to name calling. It does not reflect well on us all.
Where’s my flowery hat?
