Modern-style fencing question for so-inclined goons: What's your position on point-after celebrations? Back when I fenced regularly in college, I hated having to judge matches where one or both of the fencers celebrated each touch they think they got by shouting and fist-pumping like they just sank an eagle putt on the last hole in the Masters. Best part was the crazed reaction when and if I ruled against them, even after I reasoned my decision out to them. When I fenced, I never shouted or yelled whenever I knew I got a point after a long exchange (though I will admit to the small side fist pump here and there). To me, overblown reactions like this seem kind of uncouth and disrespectful, especially in a one-on-one sport like fencing, but I do realize that I'm probably in the minority, given how many fencers I encountered seemed to do this. Was I just being overly sensitive?
