Lawsuit. Whee!
Feb. 4th, 2012 08:49 pmOh look, the SCA settled the lawsuit and we all have to pay for their bad policy decisions. It's a good thing we're all a bunch of independent not-for profit groups outside the USA so we can protect ourselves from the larger organization. Oh wait, we're not anymore. Well, I guess it's a good thing they would never ever raid our bank accounts. Oh wait, they can do that, if we don't jump through the hoop willingly. They'll feel sad about it though.
Sadly, it's kind of the worst of all worlds: We didn't win, and we didn't lose so badly that the wide scale systemic changes the SCA hierarchy needs will occur.
Aside from a desire to say "I told you so" (which I am scratching here, rather than getting into it at social events that I'd rather not sully with talk of the BOD) I'm mostly ambivalent about the whole thing. The damage was done and I got my anger out of my system back then. Everyone else drank the mead-flavoured Kool-Aid.
Can we have an independent SCA-Canada now?
Aside: I don't know if I'll get any comments on this here since LJ is kind of dying. If I do, stick to the topic at hand - any comments blaming the victims of child molestation for this will be summarily deleted without warning.
