Well, I'm not sure I understand all of the hostility, but I've heard complaints that due to TV appearances of your group, those who see no evidence for some of your theories (such as the infamous leather segmentata) are under some pressure to explain why they adhere to the classic metal segmentata.
There is a lot of energy involved in trying to convince TV and movie producers to use 'correct' equipment in their productions, since they reach the public so much easier. To see that some groups don't seem to mind (in the eyes of the critics) does not make those involved in the 'drive for correct equipment on TV' very happy.
Well, at least that may be some part of it. But of course I'm not entirely sure.
But maybe we should hold a poll to find out?
