    Rumble in the parking lot

    Anyone remember those two older guys a couple of years ago who got into an argument right here on our own fencing.net and decided to resolve their dispute in the form of a brawl in the parking lot of the Summer Nationals? Anyone know what ever became of that? I don't know what made me think of it, but when I did I almost fell on the floor laughing...

    Nothing ever came of it.

    I think a duel would have been more appropriate.

    It's possible that the thread may be in the archive somewhere, but I doubt that it made it from the last time I had to cull out threads when upgrading the message board and clearing out space before my hosting provider got upset.

    It really isn't worth doing a search to read. Mainly your standard message board name calling flame war that turned into a cry of "oh yeah, well meet me at summer nationals and I'll..."

    Cheers,

    Speaking of duels, I recall hearing that back in the "bad old days", one fencer thought the ref was favoring his opponent and the two fencers ended up going out into the parking lot for a real duel. Obviously, this back in the early 1900's when people still did that sort of thing. I seem to recall as well that one of the people involved was Italian, and the other was French but I'm not sure. Any help from the history buffs among us?

    Also a while back I posted on the water cooler about a story I heard involving on of the Santellis and a real duel he got into, although it wasn't with another fencer, this also occurred in the said "bad old days". I believe it was called, " A story of real duelling". It was posted right after the NAC in Sandy, Utah. You might want to look at it too, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
