I wish the club all the success, really.
Altho' after looking at the website I'm somewhat perplexed about the twice Olympian mention, as neither 1992 nor 1996 had neither a Egyptian Foil Team nor Mac Shaker participate in them, according to FIE?
Also, 1988 - Olympics - Seoul - so there were no World Championships that particular year, as the Web Site states, correct?

You guys can bash Illinois if you want. We've got a pretty poor division--especially now that I'm out in California. It's sad, really.

Sure there's room for everyone in Virginia, it's a big state, and I think everyone is happy at the idea of having more fencing. But if someone started a new club in Oregon and stated that currently the state of fencing in the division is bad you wouldn't be slightly annoyed? That's all we were responding too. Since he clarified his comment I don't think anyone has disagreed, or been anything other then nice.

Since you know Mac - can I get some help on understanding on what dual qualified means? That was the reason behind the question marks.
Thanks in advance.

I only know him as someone I've refereed and as the friend of a friend. I am assuming that by "duel" he meant "dual."

So what happened neither Mac, Mag , Maged, Egypt or Windows XC fenced foil in 1996 Atlanta?
Mayhaps he moved to Cuba and fenced as Rolando Samuel Leon Tucker, since it was easier to pronounce?

What is your problem? Why don't you tell us all about your magnificent achievements in fencing instead of begrudging someone else theirs?

Perhaps he qualified but didn't go to the Olympics. Mayhaps you could learn some manners?

a.Since when asking for clarification signifies lack of manners?
We're not in 1699.
Does astroturfing, sockpuppetry and baloneying constitute manners?

BTW - no knock on your stuff, it's going on.

b.Does qualifying and not going make someone an Olympian in your esteemed opinion?

Dear Maged/Mag/Mac/Hamza/Dietmar/MBalderson/SamJMU/HundleyD, and whoever else you choose to be tomorrow, I am glad that you can all get along in such tight quarters :

a.
I am not doubting your achievements whatsoever; I would just like to see a confirmation of any result - that you have mentioned , according to one of your previous posts they are so easy to find.

b.
Guess, we're dealing with reverse reality, thus an Imbecile and an Ass from a Quintuple Astroturfer (an Internet term, not a derogatory insinuation) should be considered a compliment - so - thanks.

c.
For the 3rd time - can you please provide a link to your 1996 qualification, 1988 Athens World Championship results, and 1992 Olympics?

Thanks in advance.

All the best.
Mr.MightyMouse aka an Imbecile Ass.

Mightymouse, not all things that happened are available on the Internet. Give me evidence of your birth certificate or your high school diploma or anything you "achieved" in the 80's or 90's. Nowadays, some brat from Texas gets 8th in an local scrub tourney called the bullhorn or the rib-fest or something and it's all over Wikipedia.

Kids these days...

True.
But World Championships on FIE web site go to 50's, and they do not happen in Olympic years to the best of my knowledge.
Also - Atlanta was in 1996 and all of results are all over the net.
Oh, and it is Mr.MightyMouse.
Grown ups...

I saw him fence in person in Europe. He is the real deal. If you want to be good, you should take lessons from him.

a.I am not questioning his ability - frankly I could care less about it, etc; just accuracy of historical data, prior to this thread I've never heard of Mr.Shaker.

b.Why would you think that I fence foil, or fence at all for that matter?

c.Also - do you really believe that one's fencing skill depends solely on the quality of the lessons he/she takes?
If your logic holds : I saw Mr. Nazlymov fence in person in Europe. He is the real deal. If you want to be good, you should take lessons from him.
