I've had other things I really, really need to deal with so I've not felt able to sit down and give the Blog the attention it deserves. So rather than throwing up any old crap just to fill the dead air I took a bit of a break and tried to rest up a bit. Also with some of the flak I received off of some people for the Misogyny Sunday Sermon I felt like taking a break might have been a wise thing to do, so coupled with feeling a bit under the weather I felt it wise to just step away.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-62446000700175110962012-08-14T10:49:46.751+01:002012-08-14T10:49:46.751+01:00I don't know about that one.

They were concerned about a young lad at the club who didn't seem to grasp the importance or gravity of re-enacting battles from WWII and was getting a bit too over the top with his "theatrics" shall we say. Thing is no one had tackled him on it, when they did he was mortified that people thought he was being disrespectful to the memory of fallen soldiers everywhere. So perhaps there also needs to be something about open and honest communications too.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-67867709706203164472012-08-14T10:46:03.871+01:002012-08-14T10:46:03.871+01:00That's not a bad sentiment actually.
