Based solely on my own perspective I don't see this as a bad thing. But
then I get my kicks from striving towards doing things right. The long
term (say, within the next two centuries :-) goal is to have
*everything* just right. The fun is trying, learning, and making.

I think the problem others are addressing is the feeling of 'I am
right, and you are wrong'. In the 60's when the society began,
there was a feeling of acceptance for everybody's way of doing
things. There were not those trying to force their opinions on
others.
I admit that I do not appreciate the Friday night drunks in
tattered tabards, but they recreate what they want, and so do I.
We do not have "period police" even when it seems that we should.
We accept the newcomers, burned-out oldtimers, obsessive "only one
right way" re-creationists, and lazy "this is good enough" drunks.
All are a part of us, and all should be cherished as such. We
have a place for everyone. That's what I think about creativity
vs re-creation. Both have their place.
I am not trying to flame Ulfr specifically. I have seen a repeat
of this attitude in several places. I think that the reason we
feel so comfy "under the rock" is that acceptance that I see as
necessary in the SCA. If competitions make you uncomfortable,
don't enter. If you want to maintain a more exacting creation than
your neighbors at camp, please do so without a snobbish attitude.
You are enjoying yourself, allow that privilege to others.
