Another huge advantage that Ren Fairs have over the SCA is that you don't 
have to live with these people in your lives but 3-6 weekends a year, all at 
once, and you get the rest of the year to de-compress.  :)

For a lot of people, it's not that anything is actually better, it's that 
the change of pace makes it SEEM better.  But as has been stated, anytime 
you involve another human being, you will get politics.  The SCA doesn't 
have evey a micron of a corner on that market.
