Yes, they are the snobs of the SCA world. They look down their noses at you and sniff when they see (usualy tiny) something that they think is not 'period'.

I agree that re-enactment should be as 'true' as possible but not everyone has the time/budget to do that. So they go with what they can. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Back to the funny people in kilts!!!
