SOMEONE SOOOOO HAS TO ARGUE WITH HIM!

That would be AWESOME!!!! SOMEONE ARGUE! MUCHO REPO IF YOU DO!

[noodle]

seriously?
that is pretty awesome.

[LUDICROUS]

Will you argue with him?

[noodle]

if i do, i'll wear my the shirt with my avatar on it so you all will know who had the stones to do it (i won't be fencing, i'll have to pretend to be coaching to hawk him all day for a call worth arguing)

[LUDICROUS]

Since I'll be 8000 or so kilometres away, I don't think thats possible

Still, you have your orders!

I'd maaaaaybe argue with him if i was REALLY angry, but otherwise I suspect I'd be in awe of him. But then again, why argue when everyone KNOWS that HE would be right?

I've seen a 14 yr old tennis player argue a call with a ex wimbledon tennis player who was umpiring his game. How embarassing. I suppose this applies to the Golubitsky thing

[Mihail]

He doesn't always have to be right. Anyone can make a mistake while directing. In an extreme case, your eyes can involuntarily twitch at the precise moment at which an intricate blade action occurs.

That doesn't mean you should argue with him, but you should be assertive so that next time he misses or is not sure about an action, he'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

That's cool.

I wonder what the going rate for a bout is these days.

Ouch! Unkind!

ARRRGGHH!!! I had just decided that I won't be able to afford to go NAC's since my cousin is getting married two weeks later and I can't afford to travel to both. Now I really want to go.

So torn...

[demon_fencer]

...and I can't afford to travel to both...

What? You mean not everyone lives and works within 15 minutes of the venue?

FYI unlike last year's Summer Nationals, its NOT going to be hot and humid...

It should be hot and dry (90-100 degree temps w/ about 20% humidity)
