The Divine Thread.

Okay. I don't get it.

Why the heck do we have threads for foilists? And epeeists? It's time we had a divine thread for the divine fencers of the divine weapon. Yes - it's time for a sabre thread.

So here. Sabrists, talk. Epeeists/foilists can come here and bash sabre if they want, but they can be expect to be struck down with lightning within the hour.

So what do you think?

Okay, credit to Coldfire. Although I retract it because you called me "man."

Any microcephalic moron can slash away willy-nilly.
It takes a true artisan to be refined enough to poke with precision.

Its about time we got a thread! Sabre pretty much owns the other weapons.


And Rabid Monk- Pfft! Poking is SOO last year. Slashing is the new thing. See all these up and comming sabreurs at tournaments? Mhmmm... thats what I'm talking about!

Which raises the thought, if all the thread followers consider themselves "chosen" or "divine", when do the religious wars start?

Oh, when will all the silly fencers just all get along

Rick
Quality?!

Quality ensures people do not use the word, no wait... letters: "Nah," together in a sentence.

And ellipses have 3 dots, not four.

And what is "cause?" Do you mean to say, "because?"

And you mean to use "we," not "us," right?

And plus, I do believe you mean, "sabreurs."

And quantity is spelled incorrectly.

Where's the quality? Where's Inq? Where're his examples of quality?
