metaphor

I was just enjoying re-reading my last post (such vanity - it's sad, really) when I glanced up saw something in a whole new light.
"That's the way it was. The medieval people fought with the sci-fi people. It's been thousands of years of that. That's why they're doing this. It's a re-enactment."
The current "Blog Description" at the top of the page is from an episode of Home Movies, one of my favorite cartoons. In this particular episode, the kids are working at a ren-faire, which is right next door to a sci-fi convention. Of course, as you might gather, there is a battle-royale between the two nerd sub-species before the episode is over.
Anyway, the metaphor, by this point, might be obvious. So which are you: a medieval person or a sci-fi person?
