Chappy,

Having read your Nazi reference post, I would like to say that while I don't want to debate your right to say what you want, I do think that challanging an obviously less skilled, older, gentleman to a fight leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Perhaps a more fitting contest would be a (Fish Off) and as how you would be the challanger, I think the rules require that you allow the gentleman to name the weapons and battle field.

That way you could still maintain your dignity and soothe your offended ego, and offer the other gentleman a contest that is more suited to his training and condition, and still wager the thousand dollars ($1000.00) you offered.

Just a thought.
