A very well made point. And amusingly done at that. Your analogies do make me reconsider my own ideas about the violence of the era. Thanks, Steven |
Right back at you Steve, I think frankly there are a lot of ways of looking at things and I'm not dismissing the points you guys raised either out of hand, one thing I've learned about the Medieval period is that it was immensely complex. And very different from what is going on these days, even though we can also see familiar situations and kindred spirits sometimes in the pages of history.
Hopefully we can actually share our knowledge here and show a spirit of cooperation as you are doing instead of devolving into talking past each other as has happened so often on so many other forums. I think many of us simply want to know rather than to be right.
