| Wah wah wah...We want reps too...Always like a foil fencer to complain...
You envy us. We have a thread. All of yours died so you had to make one.
Well, this will not work, as you can see we have already prepared our counter-attack, and we don't adhere to ROW, so ours will count. HA!

| I heard they were gonna start calling rep points repee. Give me some even though I only stumbled across this site because I had a load of dodgy goods to sell and, well, you know, wrong kind of fencing...

Luckily, I can hit what I aim for! And I can read invisible ink! I'm watching you!!

| I see that some epeeists have been studying the sabre philosophy of "He who yells loudest scores". How sad that it really doenst work that way.
Or, maybe the huge letters are to compensate for other shortcomings??

Allow me to point out that if (a) it has as you note been "suggested" to one, then one can scarcely claim that the idea is original to oneself. Ergo, the charge of unoriginality seems logically unobjectionable, no?

Allow me to point out that (a) I was not arguing the originality of the thread, but rather that one should not "charge" someone with that which they incite and (b) you can't logically have an (a) without a (b).

| As opposed the disorganized cacophony of the epeeists opinions which are thrown out without such structure, bouncing around like their owners.
