Philosophy from and about the SCA, issues and ideas.

We can turn ideas around and look at them from different angles, and delve into aspects of thought.

If you have a belief or practice that you don't want held up to public examination, don't post it to the list.

When differences of opinion arise, stick to discussing ideas, not the person with whom you are disagreeing.

Don't let the discussions become attacks on individuals.
If enough people know who you're talking about, even if you haven't named names, either drop it or pull back and discuss it in more general terms. **

Identify yourself honestly. Use your SCA name, at least.

Don't write what you don't want public because the internet is public. Too often people think they're in a small group, but it's more like a small group with a PA system and a court reporter and a video feed. Guard your words. Only use the best of them.

Guard your thoughts. We can't hear you think, but if you're not careful about your word choices and tone, we'll know more than you wanted us to know. Try to write when you're in a good frame of mind about the topic about which you're writing.
