    What is more mentally taxing?

    As a spin off of another thread, I had an idea.

    Poll is flawed. None of these are mentally taxing, just equal parts funny and sad.

    how does this fit in fencing discussion?
    Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and its all organized by the Swiss.

    For my money, online romance is the most taxing, both mentally and psychologically!

    Got to agree with Falcon. Was in one for three years, and while it was great while it lasted, I'll certainly never do it again.

    I don't know...maybe polls. Making decisions, even minor ones is just....draining...
    Passion is to be encouraged. Rudeness is unacceptable.

    Classical fencers are definitely mentally taxing. They have to insist that sport fencing is "fake", and everybody else tries to explain how it's NOT fake. Then they'll explain about how it IS fake, and we'll all get into a huge discussion about rapiers, whips and battle-field weapons. Whatever.

    I'm wondering where old RL is that he hasn't chimed in concerning another bout of RL oppression here?

    I voted for RL mainly because his posts are often on that fine line between thoughtful and caustic, and it makes me think.

    Polls are great, I've never had an online romance, and believe it or not, I don't mind classical fencers at all.
