| Will everyone please freaking CHILL!
We've got a few threads with some really vicious feuding going on these days. What the h**l? When did we turn into the evil mutated re-incarnation of fencingsucks.com? I don't expect the whole world of fencing to have a big hippy love-in or anything, but WTF?
If you really must be at each other's throats, can you just take all the fights, grudges, accusations, character assassinations, and dirty laundry offline please?
Pretty please???
Think of the kittens....

| Not for some folks I know...sadly. By the way, this board is FAR from even a shadow of the dearly departed fencingsucks.com.

| It's all because my blog isn't interesting enough. I tried to represent the average veteran f.neter, and I failed, because my blog is boring.
Or, well, my blog on this site is boring.
That's why everyone's fighting. I'm not interesting enough.
I'm not sure how we're gonna fix it. Suggestions?

I'm not sure how we're gonna fix it. Suggestions? | More oversharing? Pictures of your island of exile? Public discussion and comments on your plans to return like Napoleon from Elba? | |

We ought to have T-shirts made up that say, "Intense Fencing Parent" and leave it ambiguous whether it's the parent part or the fencing part that's intense. Either that or T-shirts that say, "You can blame me."
