Heh, classic epee vs. foil vs. sabre ego conflict.
IMO everyone should fence epee. Everyone who doesn't is wrong. Foil fencers tend to be pussies and morons and sabre fencers are pompous ninnies. Oh, and foil fencers - pretty much all of that group - were the sole reason for the explosion of the club that mine succeeded. It was a great club and I was very happy not being an owner. If I (and my partners) hadn't stepped in, there would have been a very noticable vacuum in Chicago fencing. So if I seem a little embittered towards foil fencers, there's a reason.
On an unrelated note, everyone should also be Cubs and Bears fans. Oh, and Steve Spurrier is the devil.
