                             Yet I have never encountered one where someone
  wearing an attempt at period clothing (even just a T-tunic over jeans and 
  sneakers) was roundly castigated while minding his own business, as our
  erstwhile former poster claimed.

Well, I've certainly seen it happen.  Once, I was wearing a mundane undershirt
underneath a tunic (against the cold), and the crew neck was visible.  Some
yahoo I'd never seen before (in a polyester chartreuse graduation robe),
complained I was dressing mundanely!

The most critique I will ever allow myself, if someone is clearly in mundane
clothes, is to walk up to them and say "I have some more medieval garb, if
you'd like to borrow it."  Commenting on a problem without at least some
attempt at a solution, in this case, seems rude to me.
