Thanks for the shout-out, Monkeyfun Dave . I know that when you say "shut up, Tim!" you're just expressing your love. My love does take strange forms.

I like watching the SCA fights at my local RenFair though. I briefly entertained the idea of learning to fence, but the personalities of the group were just too much for me. Maybe had they been more like the folks in the podcast I would have felt welcomed and not like I was going to get hazed into a frat. Did you actually interact with them at all, or just judge them from afar? You can't put words in someone's mouth or assume they will be unfriendly. It's easy to claim the problem is "those people" and not yourself for being to timid to get involved. Even if those guys were jerks, why should that stop you from getting into SCA or fencing? If you want it, get after it. I had multiple interactions with the same group and had friends who belonged, but typically briefly. The assholery was too high for my interests. As to why I didn’t participate anyway, why on earth would I spend my precious free time with people that I thought were assholes? I have better things to do with my time and other interests.
