that wasn’t my point- i didn’t say the situation was ‘like hte catholic church’ I was replyign to the person who said they never saw any signs- just becvause soemoen doesn’t see signs doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening without hem knowing about it- that was the point
[[You seem to be under the misapprehension that this like the Renaissance Faires.]]
Huh? No I’m not- I’m simply replying abotu hte reports that state these things are going on- I haven’t even given them 100% verifying agreement as I don’t know if they are happening or not- I suspect they are based on the reports- but I’ll withhold judgement until it gets investigated further-
[[With the SCA, some of the attendees are having orgies after hours.]]
That may or may not be- investigations will uncover the truth- but the claim that kids are being assaulted is alarming- and this should be investigated thoroughly now- not later- not covered up- My comment was that IF organizers or sponsors are aware- and haven’t alerted the police- and are still sponsoring these people, then lawsuits will come out accusing them of neglect to protect children at some point
That’s all- don’t read too much into my comments-
It’s not “like the Catholic church thing” in the way you are saying now either.
The Catholic Church tried to handle things in house. If there is somebody making a problem at a SCA event they simply call the cops out. So even in that respect your analogy falls apart.
