    We have stability, which has been supported with popular vote due to the excellent work of our officials. The division has grown steadily without confrontations. I am aware that other divisions are not as lucky, and perhaps, that serves as an incentive for the status quo in our division.

    I am the mere web lackey (to use the Car Talk phrase), but I have to say that the NJ division is pretty peaceful. There are occasional disagreements about something, as you expect in any activity, but they get resolved in adult fashion. I've heard horror stories of other divisions too.

    We're fairly relaxed. There are the occassional tensions, but everyone in the TN division wants what's best for TN fencing and no one does stuff to spite each other *cough* Shreveport *cough*

    You have NO idea how lucky you are...

    We do. Our neighbors provide us with frequent reminders of what can go wrong.

    Was that a poke at the LA division? I havent been involved long enough to know about my divisions politics, and I haven't heard anything to horrible yet.
