On a Positive Note - rekirts - 02-15-2003 I have been a member of a few groups from time to time, but have never stuck with any others as I have with this one. In some ways, I am way out of my league here, but NO ONE in this group has EVER made me feel that way. I very much appreciate the willingness of members to answer questions to the best of their ability. The accumulated knowledge of this group must be incredible! Even though I am not a re-enactor, or an archaeologist or an historian, and I have never been in the military (in this life ) I feel quite at home here.<br> <br> Sometimes the debates get quite heated, but I feel there is a real effort made to maintain courtesy and respect for each other even under the influence of intense emotion. And boy, can those debates get interesting!<br> <br> Thank you moderators and members for being here!<br> *wipes away tear* Er...sorry for going all mush on you.<br> <br> Wendy <p></p><i></i> Re: On a Positive Note - Anonymous - 02-15-2003 We love you too Wendy...in fact, when members of RAT get sworn in, they have to get a tattoo that says "TLC for RAT" on the inside arch of their left foot, to show our fellowship.<br> <br> I think truly, one of this forum's secrets to it's success is the maturity level (except me...), and the varied nationalities brought together by a single passion. It's like "the metals we mix to make a good sword." <p><br> Magnus/Matt<br> Optio<br> Legio XXX "Ulpia Victrix" </p><i></i> thx - JRSCline - 02-15-2003 Just don't mention the war, or tunic colors, or women reenacting legionaries... Three explosive subjects!<br> <br> I'm glad you like the friendliness; we do try very hard to welcome all ages, interests, and backgrounds. I have seen too many discussion forums that develop exclusionary cliques, anti-newbie attitudes, or just don't make enough of an effort to invite new members.<br> <br> There aren't too many teens and kids here, either, so being a mature crowd it's a very decent bunch.<br> <br> Another really nice group of folks online, if you are into marine aquaria, is [url=http://www.thereeftank.com" target="top]www.thereeftank.com[/url]<br> <br> Cheers<br> Jenny<br> <br> <p></p><i></i> Re: thx - richsc - 02-15-2003 What could possibly be controversial about a fish tank?<br> <br> I think we all have Jenny to thank for the overall tone of the board, tunics and modern politics notwithstanding, and I don't hold her accountable for those.<br> And we of the 20th did say she could kit up with us whenever she's in town. Unless she wants to be a vexillation of Legio XX: the franchise rights are cheap, and we have neat bumper stickers. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX<br> <br> </p><i></i> Re: thx - Anonymous - 02-16-2003 What bumper stickers would this be rich?

Too Much Armour, Not Enough Brains".<br> <br> A mate of mine who was a medieval re-enactor cut the dinosaur and the word "Extinct" off and stuck one on his car and the other on his armouring workshop door. <p>Tim O'Neill / Thiudareiks Flavius<br> <br> Visit 'Clades Variana' - Home of the Varus Film Project<br> <br> Help create the film of Publius Quinctilius Varus' lost legions</p><i></i> Re: Bumper Sticker - Anonymous - 03-02-2003 I am a new one and I love this group too. <p></p><i></i> |
