David Baker, the creator of the Facebook page Modern Medievalist, a large page in the Facebook medieval community has made me an Assistant Editor.
I am very glad to be an Editor/Admin but this is a large responsibility. I think this marks another point in my development as a medievalist. I will have to strive harder than before for quality historical info, as well as staying relaxed an unbiased.
I also think it may be time to enter the MyArmoury community. Thoughts anyone?
Congratulations on the Assistant Editor role!
I’d encourage you to enter any arena (myArmoury, etc.) you see fit to enter. You’re young, intelligent and energetic, all admirable qualities. Here’s the “but” – don’t forget about friends, romance, family, goofing off, and down time. It’s very easy to dive into historical research / term paper / big report for the boss to the exclusion of personal time. Find a balance that works for you.
Nathan and Chad of myArmoury are great guys, know their stuff, and moderate a great forum. Trolls are banished quickly, heated
intelligent discussions are permitted and those that lack decorum are not.
