Fencing.Net - Your Guide to Fencing & Fencing Equipment

Attache from right, epic fail. Parry-riposte, point left. Couldn't rep you for fighting off the cyber police.

I think I sprained my facial muscles from too much eyerolling... from the get go, gotta love the logic that Iran's issues make America a better place? And while they're so chuffed about their wonderfulness they should send troops to other countries and spread it around... by force if necessary. It's just THAT good!

I hope you have enjoyed the God Bless America and Impeach Obama threads. So, tempting to contribute, but I think not.

Well... we know for sure you have the "Dick" part right and there's people who want to shoot him.

Can I now call trickery dickery heady by his real name -- Dick Cheney?

Well, we didn't win any gold at that one either.

Thanks, I assumed that's why you had done it.

I find it more than disconcerting that it is posted here, on fencingforum, and other places with no form of official comment.

Even with the original thread on fencingforum there was far too much questioning of LP's intentions rather than the safety issue.

I'm glad you noticed that I posted in the thread in an effort to get some answers for you. Hopefully someone will know.

It could be interesting as the Cadet and Juniors Worlds are in Belfast in April -- part of an EU country and part of the UK. So, it has been defined as unsafe equipment in that region.

Wuxi/Jiang is the official supplier to the Chinese national team. Whose ruling takes priority -- FIE homologation or Trade Practices?

Yeah, it sort of leaves us all in limbo. I would think many armourers will advise the owner of the gear that it may not be 800NW, but until the FIE prohibits them... I would think it's business as usual. They can't deny someone access to a tournament because it is currently still considered FIE. Since there's no on-site testing, all the armourer can do is hassle the fencer a little.
