| If nothing else it might serve to prove to the world that there is indeed something worse than Islamic terrorism...

| Dark Shadows: A supernatural soap opera which ran on TV in the late 1960s. Vampires, werewolves, witches and campy bad acting. It was a phenomenon. So I imagine a convention would be like a Goth Star Trek Con...

b. the art or sport of fencing with the saber, with the target being limited to the head, trunk, and arms, and hits being made with the front edge and the upper part of the back edge of the sword and by thrusts.
–verb (used with object) 4. to strike, wound, or kill with a saber.
Also, especially British, sabre. | http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/saber  Just clearing that up.
Both are acceptable. One is British spelling one is American. As an American I use the American spelling. I kinda find it odd that some Americans use the British spelling for saber while retaining American spelling with other words, but whatever. Both are good
As far as sabreur or saberist, probably the correct term is sabreur as fencing seems to retain a lot of words from other languages and such regardless of what language you are speaking (though, I rather doubt it would be the case here, as people speaking other languages to my knowledge don't retain "sabreur" or such). That being said, I say saberist because I'm comfortable with it and it's less slurry sounding than sabreur. And everyone knows what I'm talking about. I don't see anything wrong with it. disagree if you like, but there it is!

| Maybe we all ought to go to "sablista". Spanish is going to become the primary language in the US eventually anyway, we might as well get on with it...

| See, we know you stole that, because there are capital letters in the right places...
It's also rather nonsequitur. Have you developed Dada issues already? Tsk. And so young...
