If you want to see a good old-fashioned SCA flame war, check out Why Fencing Harms the SCA as a Whole. I even responded (at around the 150 message mark), and I'm not a rapier fighter.
I've noticed that arguments against some activity in the SCA (the discussion in question, discussions regarding the virtual 4th peerage, etc) almost always sound like arguments against same-sex marriage.
I might have to write a post examining the similarities. I'll let that simmer in my subconscious for awhile.
