I know some SCA people that still go to faires and still make their craft for it...not everyone is a zealot about it thank god (there is a very good reason Im not a member anymore). But you do get the ones that think their way is the only way and everyone else is just wrong...again one reason I quit.
Its kind of like the difference between civil war reenactors and whats called the "hardcores". You always have the people that will argue and belittle, which is sad for the organization, its keeping a lot of people away, like me, that enjoyed it at one time.

are the hardcores the guys that sleep in tents and eat tack for breakfast lunch and dinner during the summer tourist season?
