This isn't really a technical issue, so I thought that OT might be a better place for it.

What do you think is wrong with Concours -- or with the attitude of people who are really into concours?

or.. what do you just not like about councours, "the scene," or the people and their attitudes?

In biology, especially ecology, we have a term called "museum mentality" i.e. "He has a museum mentality." It isn't a real positive thing to say about a scientist. OTOH, museums are critical to preserving our understanding of how things were, and therefore how they got to be like the present.
