I'm a Rennie, You're not a Rennie, Wouldn't you like to be a Rennie too?
In the LJ community Renfaire Worker there is an off and on debate about who qualifies as what in the Ren Faire World. Most of these have been rather tame and short.

Enter jcterminal who has come to preach the gospel to the unwashed masses (probably because the faire didn't spring for showers for their employees) as to who can be bestowed upon the title of True Rennie and who are the wanna-bees.

Oh, but the unwashed have a problem with his words. In fact they have a lot of problems with the gospel according to Jcterminal. But of course those people are evil and should be infected with AIDs or some other horrible thing.

the Gospel according to St. JcTerminal

The job description sounds awesome, but what about the Rennie dental plan?

Ah, I see JcT is a real person-who-is-pretending rather than a fake pretendy person.

But is the fake person with the real job more real than the person with the real pretendy job or... no... I've officially lost the plot at this point. Nothing more to see here, move along.

So, even though I've worked the local Ren Faire circuit for the last 14 years, because I have a home that I go to at the end of the weekend, I'm a 'poseur' rennie?

Right. And I'm supposed to care what he thinks why again, exactly?

And to be honest, out here in southern LOLIFORNIA, no one uses the word 'rennie' anyway.

This wank reminds me that I haven't read my LJ friends list in a couple of months. Or I would have seen this when it came up.

So he's one of those people who can't hold down a real job and can't even manage his resources to do the camping thing properly so he's going to declare himself a "real rennie" to make himself feel better.

Back when I was doing the Renfest thing, I just figured the campers were Deadheads in the off season.

Not that the prospect of black mold and starvation has me really jealous here.

I keep on thinking of the Sandman issue where Hob Gadling goes to a modern-day Ren Faire and is so disgusted by the inauthenticity that he ends up offering someone at one of the beer tents to bring him $50 worth of beer -- and another $50 as a tip if they drop the fake Elizabethan accent.

Hob would kick the crap out of ALL of these people.

Just because you don't like what you hear, doesn't mean it's a troll, nor should it be deleted." Who is he addressing? Has he posted something like that before? Who's Krow?
