    I like to shout when I get a touch that was really sweet. When I am fencing some of the older memebers of my club and I am lucky to lose the bout 3-10 I tend to shout a lot.

    It also helps me keep cool, I have no idea why but it settles me and prevents me from over heating or sweating as much. Weird I know.

    I don't yell at all. I do occasionally talk to myself under my breath.

    The reason why I don't yell is that I have anger management issues and strive to keep myself in total control. Yelling has the tendancy to induce anger or heighten emotions, which I do my best to avoid doing as it makes my fencing worse.

    The only time I had a problem with yelling was when I was fencing a girl who had this shrill scream and would clutch her chest when she or her opponent scored. I kept thinking I had hurt her. This didn't throw off my fencing, but the director started to laugh when I took my mask off and rushed forward to see if she was okay.

    Still, better he dug up an old one then start a whole new thread...

    Mods, why not just sticky this? Annoying, yes, but less annoying then a new one put up every 2 weeks.

    Because there are plenty of recurring threads. If we stickied all of them they'd take up a good portion of the first page of the board. It's just not feasible. Plus, people would be more inclined to post about yelling in bouts because the thread was there.

    Then even better: put a one-week no-post (or just no-topic) ban on a new member so they can't post immediately and then instantly purge these threads/ban member for another week.

    Also, possibly put in a better search engine. The current one sucks.
