no
7) If yes, what issues would you consider? What is the most important?
Only this. Hobby politics are total BS! I hate janitor generals and people who have no respect for others and other groups. I have found you can learn something from EVERY group out there.
8) Which would be of more importance to you in an event?
Education Entertainment neither
9) At what point would you consider an event unethical or inappropriate?
BS politics come out. "We're better than them," etc.
10) Have you any other comments?
Yeah, I like reenactors. They're cool. I like the hobby. I love the Roman era, all the way from Caesar on to say Marcus Aurelius interests me, a LOT. I love how so much is not known about this period. I like to interact with others who have the same love -- egos are NOT something I wish to deal with, that's what we have at work and inthe "real" world. How's that?
