| "Malicious" Fencing?
Hmmmm...think it was Freudian that the Fencing.net psychologist posted:
"Then there are other types of fencers who maliciously plan for their success. They see improvement in their skills and their results a bit sooner."?
Maybe we should have all been taking a page from the Texas Cheerleader Mom case!
Clubmate always catching you with that Parry 2 riposte? Offer him a glass of tea with something a little.... extra in it!
Opponent from across the country always knocking you out in the round of 32? Call your buddy from Oregon and deliver the cryptic message: "Initiate Plan No-Knee!"
Coach not giving you enough lessons? Remember, underage Lolitas and a hidden camera could be your ticket to five lessons a week for life...for free!

| Easy there, Big Fella...
Considering the number of times that hack sport psych articles get regurgitated, dug up, reinvented on a regular basis you should understand that the pantry of unused adverbs is quite bare. Heaping dung on the heap, you demand meaninful application of descriptors?
How dare you.

| I blame myself. 
Well, that, and those who mistake malicious for meticulous...but as they say, there are no "Freudian Slips" of the typewriting tongue. 
Which makes you wonder exactly what was manifesting itself there...

| I have acquaintances who write most messages on tablet PCs, and the character recognition is a bit iffy. We're constantly teasing them about the bizarre phrasing of the tablet gremlins. | |

| I don't know if I would take it all that far.
I think that with the sport comes a little underhandedness. I have had people that payed dirty by throwing elows and shoulders during a fleche. I then proceed to dent thier masks or hit that tendon below thier knee that hurts like crap. Just to send the message that I am not going to take it

| Well, I know I've been an evil bastard at times...If the ref gives me a point, I'm not one to complain, and thats me being nice...If you charge into me after a fleche, I will have no qualms in conveniently sticking my bellguard in your face.
I'm a pretty nice guy of the piste, but once I'm on it, as long as its not actually cheating, I'm one hell of a dirty bastard. | |

| Dr. Malaprop here. I see what you are saying, but the only safe course of action amongst this population group is to keep distance. We should all become aware of the condition called passive aggressive, wherein a person does not do anything directly to harm a person, but is indirectly responsible by manipulating circumstances. Women more than men suffer from this affliction. It's a close cousin to the 'proxy' syndrome or the 'stage mother' syndrome. There is no cure for these conditions.

Perhaps those posting about actual malicious activities ought to revisit the posting by Beth Athanas on the home page of fencing.net. It has nothing to do with malicious fencing. It's actually a pretty good article about long term training, as opposed to "Cram" training.
What I found amusing was simply that she inadvertently used the word "malicious" instead of "meticulous"...which, coming from a mental health professional, was funny.
Har har har. See? Funny.

| Beth Ananas has since fixed the typo in the article.
It really is an excellent article. The advice is spot on too. If you don't have it a few weeks before the meet, you don't have it.
Trying to get it can just screw you up.
