One of the reasons that I have never gotten into the SCA, despite having a lot of interest in what its about and many close friends who are SCAdians, is the distinct feeling I get from a lot of people *in* the SCA that you are either in our out. In other words, it's either your major time focus and What You Do With Yourself, or you don't really count in their eyes.

This may be unfair, and I'm sure there are MANY SCA types who *don't* feel this way, but there were always enough of them around that I was never comfortable with the whole thing.

Love,
