You do not do fencing. Fencing is a sport with very specific rules and equipment. You may do fencing-like competitions, but you do not do fencing. No offense, but SCA folks calling what they do fencing kind of pisses off real fencers, especially the folks that go to the Olympics and whatnot. Hopefully you'll take that as friendly advice, which is how I mean it.
And if you give your thread more than 24 hours to percolate, you might see more responses. I know of at least 3 members off the top of my head that are into SCA or SCA-like groups.

Oh please, don't give me that holy than thou attitude. To almost everyone it's fencing. If I said anything else they wouldn't know what I meant.
Plus they (basically) wear the same type of armor, same type of weapons. People don't get as good in it because there's no prestige/money in it on the Olympic level and it tends to be older men with back problems doing it. If anything though it requires more strategy and skill, seeing as how there's less rules, occasionally offhand weapons, and mass melees.
Also, the dictionary would agree with me.
As for the 2nd, I wasn't commenting on a lack of replies, but more on the nature of them.
