NOOO! Joining Inq is like selling your soul. But he does represent some feelings of people at time, he's an anti-hero!

Good luck, and stay alive? (bad comment huh?) and have fun with your family when you get back home.

Thanks for saving my life!

Sorry it took so long to respond...didn't even know this message function existed.

Yes, I'm in the military. An officer currently serving in Iraq, actually. Should be back home (Des Moines, Iowa) in early November if everything goes according to plan (and it should...not worried about extensions thankfully).

I've actually only done very little fencing...about 11-12 years ago in college for a year or so. Played with foil and epee. I've done tons of martial arts, SCA fighting and such, but now with a family (4 kids!) I'm looking for stuff to do with them...they can fence, and I can fence too, so we all have fun and spend time together doing an activity and building skills. Great fun. Of course, right after we started, I got deployed, so it's put a bit of a damper on things.

Saw on a rep comment of yours that you hoped I could take Inq down. Dunno, that seems like a tall order, I find sometimes find his curmudgeoniness mirrors my own feelings at times. Perhaps I can be his evil disciple!

very nice arguments Grimaldi. I see you're in the military, we (the foilist empire) could greatly use your assets. You should post more in the watercooler. Are you foilist? If not, it's never too late to become one of the elite.
