Now I will freely admit I simply don’t get this sport of “slapfighting” – it may be that I’m a wimp, that I don’t appreciate the finer qualities of the sport, or that I don’t get enough pleasure from the idea of slapping another contestant around. Don’t get me wrong; if it was legal, I have a whole long list of people I would love to slap around — pretty much for the same reasons I don’t get this sport; I think they are idjits.

My taste or willingness aside; I also simply don’t see why some folks are dead set on banning anything they don’t like. For me, since I don’t like the sport of Slapfighting, my actions are simple. I’m not going to participate as a contestant or judge. I’m not going to watch any of the matches (more than the one I posted here for explanation. Wish the antis would just treat us with the same respect.
