Pains me to admit it. Mr. MacGraw is right. I stand corrected ...again ...next time I'll just keep my mouth shut.

[Captain Jack Daniels]

"Pirates- Gods I hate the pirates. Tricornes, long weskits and all the rest of the Johnny Depp wanna-be shit does not belong here. I really wanted to grab the hats and stomp them. And that roving pirate party on Thursday night was ridiculous. On a related note, a certain Baroness of my acquaintance saw me in the market place and commented that my Elizabethan slops and jerkin made me look far more like a pirate than those who were desparately trying to do so."

The above statement is very definately from someone who lives in a very narrow way and will not have the company and friendship that others not only have but enjoy. I actually pitty him, for he will lose out in the end by not being of a broader mind. I personally am not thrilled with having "Depp pirate want-to-bes" at every turn, nor am I even slightly happy with the historian types whose breeches are fastened too tightly for them to relax and actually enjoy things and not be so critical of every show, movie, or event that doesn't meet their historical expectations.

I am a pirate, I live and dress as the pirate within me would have it. I dress in my pirate garb for Rens, a toned down version for my "real world" job, but have been interested in pirates and piracy since I was small. It was both written word (Robert Louis Stevenson), and silly little movies like Peter Pan that made my interests rise. I can apreciate both the attempts at historical pirate programs, and the movies that make it fun and entertaining.

People that make statements like the one above really should keep to themselves, since nothing is going to satisfy them nor make them happy.

You sir just seem to be trying to stir up trouble in an other wise rather calm place. We ALL come here for the joy of friendship, information, piracy, and we do come with an open mind. Diversity is what makes this a grand place to be. If you are here just to make trouble maybe it is you that needs to leave.....

The irony is that it wasn't posted here by the writer!

Thats why RumbaRue wanted to squash it.......

Flamin's been happenin' since the beginin' 'o this pub; 'tis like anywhere full 'o drunks....All drivel in the grand scheme 'o things....

[blackjohn]

Having met the man in person, and having done an event with him and chatted to him briefly, I will come to his defense. He seems a very likable fellow, with a keen sense of... the time and the place. He is more than welcome to attend any event I would ever host!

:)

[Captain Jack Daniels]

As I stated earlier,"You sir[blind Pew] just seem to be trying to stir up trouble in an other wise rather calm place. We ALL come here for the joy of friendship, information, piracy, and we do come with an open mind. Diversity is what makes this a grand place to be. If you are here just to make trouble maybe it is you that needs to leave.....".

I still stand by my statement that people who come here just to stir trouble need to leave. Backjohn, I am glad that you have met the author of the afore mentioned "hatred", and I am very glad that in your view he is a likeable chap. I also still stand by not caring for narrow minded people who can't accept that yes there will be hollywood types, more movies and comedys and that not everything about pirates is strictly historical, and 'to the letter'.

As with anything and all things, this is just my opinion.

Me, stir trobol? Naught likely Lad. I x-posed da truth and twere attacked fer it. I did naught but respond in kind. I naught back down from a gud fite.

A backstabbin twice face bilge rat that says that he hates pyrates, and I showed ye his tru colours and in own words by his own hand, and I b de offending party?

Perhaps u welcome ones that make demselvs feel superior by pointing out yor flaws and laffs b-hind a keybord whilst doing so? Me, I likes to kno whom I converse with, n wat day colours be.

I b pokin arond abit more to see what ye hav to offer fer amusement and study. I did mak wan o-ter post here, not in dis pot.

[LongTom]

Pew, you seem to be deliberately ignoring the context. He's writing about Pennsic. Pennsic is an SCA event, meaning medieval-ish recreators. Attending that venue in pirate persona -- especially Hollywood pirate persona -- is about as appropriate as it would be at an Elvis impersonators convention. Simply put, it's not the order of the day, and it interferes with what is the order of the day. Whatever his views on hardcore authenticity, until you acknowledge that he is talking about what amounts to party-crashers, your credibility is shot to hell.

I strongly suggest you get over it and get back to having your own brand of fun.

[shadoes]

Agreed Tom, I went and read his original comment and though gee he is talking about a medieval SCA event. GAoP wether historical or movie would be totally out of place there so his comments were appropriate for the setting.

[Capt. Sterling]

By da by, id flash my aft side hat cha, but insted of angrrin u, ud probly fall n luv! smooch! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Wut cha got lass? Come set upond me knee wht dont che? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Now tis my turn to laugh.....

[Black Syren]

It's amazing how words can be taken so far out of context. If you feel the need to be picking on others Pew then I suggest you head for the schoolyard...There is no place for that here.

Ahhh, But the profes-she-on uv pyratin be timeless. Hence the reason I witdru frum de ferst "Se-vi-err" show. Me-lay-shun I-lans stel b alive wit cut throats n kitnappers. I did naught relish da thot uv b-ing trussed up in sum tropikal green hell, wait fer sumone to pay me ransom. The SCA time line as I understan it iz frum 600ce till 1600ce. Tak yur pic, Norse, Dane Swede, Muslim and uters.

Graine Ni Maille (1550-1600)was an Irish princess and pirate (also known as Grace O'Malley) . She commanded a large fleet of ships. She petitioned Queen Elizabeth I of England regarding her various territorial claims, and the two met in 1593. Despite her own officers' reports that Grace was attacking English navy, shipping and coastal towns, the Queen accepted Grace's claims.

Corsairs were pirates who operated in the Mediterranean Sea between the 15th, 1400's and 18th, 1700's centuries. Muslim corsairs, such as the daring Barbarossa (red beard) brothers, had bases along the Barbary coast of north Africa. They built many strong fortresses to defend the Barbary ports of Algiers, Tripoli and Tunis. Christian corsairs were based on the island of Malta. Muslim and Christian corsairs alike swooped down on their targets in swift oar-powered boats called galleys to carry off sailors and passengers. Unless these unfortunates were rich enough to pay a ransom, they were sold as slaves or put to work as oarsmen on the corsair galleys.

Portobello was one of the most important cities in the Western Hemisphere. It is also the place where Francis Drake, the great 16th century English pirate died in 1595; his body was thrown into the bay.

Pirate-Explorer, Sir Martin Frobisher, SCABorn 1535 or 1539, died 1594

Py-rattin b da wirld therd er fifth eldest profes-she-on.

Da SCA is not liv-in hiz-tory, tiz mor a-kin liv-in fan-ta-cee. Mur da oftin dan da naught, da costume uv da SCA re-flex da latest cel-u-loyd blok-busta, Brave Heart, Rob Roy, Pirates of the Caribean, Kingdom of Heaven n da like.

Wont ta quiet me? Tis simple, say naught. I await cher reply.
