Crimson I am sorry you left before I got to know you better
Crimson, we started off firery and vocal opponents over rapier in the SCA, but over the months of discussing, with understanding and respect, things sometimes, missing, especially on SCA-West, we came to a resolution that was helpful in getting me to accept Rapier as a component of the 16th Century and thus part of our game. While we didn't agree completely it was that understanding that got me, at least to be able to enjoy the other parts of you, first your great name, anyone named "Red" had to be cool right? I am sorry you had to leave so soon, but thanks for the help along the way, you made the world a better place for being here, and at the end of the day, that is really all you could ask.
