For anyone involved in Sci-Fi cons, gaming, LARP, and, especially, the SCA, "Five Geek Social Fallacies" posted on "Plausibly Deniable" is a must read. (Link found on Cranky Pants.) Suddenly, much of the weird behavior makes lots of sense. The first three Fallacies are especially noticable in SCA culture, and the counter-fallacy "Your Feelings, Your Problem" is also highly evident. And before you go thinking I'm talking about someone specific and I'm trying to send some sekrit message, I do think I've been guilty of at least one of those at one time or another. I think we all can learn from this, so don't get your trews all in a wad.
