    I Just got my A and now fencing most of you is beneath me...

    The truth is. I earned the A by the skin of my teeth and a few calls the director made were not my touches....

    so everybody please tolerate my period of being an asshole to you and always having something else to do in a fencing club when it's your turn to fence me...

    I need to re earn my A at least 10 more times until I feel safe and secure enough and stop believing that by fencing someone of a lower rank my skills will fall apart and be gone forever.

    It will be extremely difficult to re-earn your A without fencing other people of lower rank.

    Me'thinks he is saying what someone else in his club is doing.
    That's it, I'm done with the discussion forums on F.net. It's had its uses, but the ideologues, ranters, and "experts" have drowned too many of the conversations. I'm changing my password to something random and never logging in again.

    If that's the worst thing that happens on the internet today, I think we'll all be happy.

    Where did you find an A level sabre tournament to accidently get ranked in?

    Some overly official club practice, perhaps?

    I don't think we tolerate assholes at all here, so you're out of luck, buddy. And I personally hate prima donnas who refuse to fence people with lower rankings. It's just pitiful.

    Weird Sabre Person:

    You should quit while you're ahead. Just hang up your gear and go home. Never come back, never give anyone the opportunity to defeat you. Keep the memory of your 'A' in pristine condition.

    Coaching is also an option.

    I got my C and I don't feel like I earned it. I made top 8 (and got my long awaited D), and upsets got me my C, not hard work.

    Man, either some people aren't reading the OP completely or they don't have very subtle senses of irony...

    Now you just STOP THAT, Brad! We have already established that I am unable to rep you at present! Please desist with the witticisms until I am able to do so again!

    Ahhh... I see, the ref must have felt sorry for you or something because in those icky, you got the point but we both got stabbed(or cut), weapons I think refs usually give those either way touchs to the higher rated fencer because, well, they're higher rated and must have gotten the touch.

    Anyway, congrats on your A!
