Recent events in another online Roman group (one with which many of you are sadly familiar) have made it impossible for me to hold a leadership position in any Roman community, for some time to come.
In part, this is due to a desire to avoid certain individuals, those who believe that treason trials and massive fines have a place in volunteer organizations. Mainly, though, I have developed a dread of online politics, and what once filled me with excitement and vigour now brings only suffering and disgust.
Therefore, I resign as Curator of the SVR. I apologize to all, for having taken on this office and done nothing with it. I know that the Societas Via Romana is far less political than the other place, but I need to make a complete break.
It is my hope that after some time away, to restore my sanity, I'll be able to return, and contribute in a non-political role.
