It sounds like the author wants the SCA to be a LARP without the dice (do LARPs have dice?)
Some LARPs do, and some LARPs don't.
And, no, that's not really what the author wants.
The SCA is historical re-enactment...[which to me means] learning about history through doing
That's not historical re-enactment. That's studying history. That's part of what the SCA does -- and it's an important part -- but it's not the "re-enactment" or "re-creation" part.
I'm not suggesting that the SCA would be a better place if people were racially intolerant, or if they were treated with period medicines. I'm saying the SCA would be a better place if people avoiding talking about blatantly modern things. YMMV.
