People in the Faire circuit, who own booths which sell nonperiod items, who dress in nonperiod clothes, act in compltely inappropriate ways both for modern times as well as past ones, not to mention inappropriate for their AGE... And yet who criticize perfectly legitimate efforts to bring theatricality back to faire with false accusations that "that's not period, it's from the 18th century".
Grumble.
