Whereas, I see people wearing "overly elalorate costumes" as people who are into building, acting, and being creative. It's the few people who get angry if you're wearing a Klingon costume but don't speak Klingon that worry me.
I heard Terry Pratchett once point out that fans at a con are people on holiday, and consequently behave a bit strangely. I think this is a useful comparison, considering the complete idiots that mundanes can make of themselves in the bars of Torremelinos.
And we all know what some self-professed football fans can be like when they're on holiday.
