| banned for what? i am not posting anything vulger or offensive. i seriously wish to know what qualities you think a good fencer possesses. you just dont like me because i am fat, huh? i didnt know fencers were that shallow. you guys want me banned just because i weigh a little more than you? sure, im 500+ lbs, but i thought that because i was a fellow fencer, you people would treat me with dignity. i guess i was wrong. i assume you dont like black fencers either, huh? or handicapped fencers either? anyone who doesnt fit into your stereotypical role of what a "fencer" should be is just banned. you people make me sick. | |

| I would have said footwork, but with these last couple posts, I think that a lack of redundancy is a very important quality in a fencer.

Anyway I guess just willingness to practice and lose in order to get better. You have to love the sport too. | |
