I am not shocked by this story.
The SCA was great fun as long as I kept myself to a very superficial level.
I learned a lot from some really great amateur historians (and a couple of professionals).
But the organization, the corporation...
Even at my tender young age I could see how liberally biased they were.
It really got laid bare when I got interested in firearms and noticed that there were many black-powder arms that were within the period the SCA allows.
They banned a static display of period firearms like a handgonne.
For safety reasons.
A hundred people wandering around with live steel and they're worried about a cannon lock firearm that takes more than a minute get get going from zero.
A cannon lock firearm that was wired to a wooden board...
So, discovering that they did nothing to protect someone with a differing opinion and, in fact, punished them for it:
I am not shocked.
