| 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? | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

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!  | |

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?
