As someone who is getting more into the SCA but having been around the SCA for almost 10 years, I completely agree with you. I can remember so many times of hearing about how late this event or that event started. I never could understand how these "royals" could not understand that people have lives too and to have to work around these "royals" flakiness and inexcusable lack of respect, really made me wonder why anyone would want to be part of the SCA, especially on Court.
Basically this comes from a lack of leadership and respect for others. The flaws can be fixed but it has to be from the top down. There has to be accountability for actions. I don't know how far I will go into the SCA but I do know I don't tolerate a lot of the lack of respect I have seen.
If the SCA is to survive, it will need to make global changes to how things work. Time will tell.
