Coincidentally, a few days ago I was attacked by a group of guys with fist gloves. Fortunately, I was able to fight them off with my kick board. I have deleted all personal information from my profile.
Gull:
What did you do to make these guys attack you with fist gloves and drills? Did you insult them with fish like swimming? Did they feel threatened because they know how you feel about noodlers? Was the kickboard a good defensive mechanism to ward off the attack? It must have been for you to live and tell us about this.
I can understand your fear of those unfit 65+ year old women.
I just wish they could explain how they can keep their blue hair dry and their makeup intact while doing "aerobic" activity in the pool.
Imagine the horror if they were weilding sharpened noodles in addition to the fist gloves.

I would also like to hear more about how you fought these attackers off with a kickboard......I'm getting a vision of a Steven Segal movie...only Steven is replaced by a master's swimmer at practice fighting with a kickboard instead of numchucks....How many attackers were there? How were you able to take them all out? Were they wearing shirts that had Pro-TI Advertising on them?.....There are so many questions that come to mind......I am glad to hear you were able to escape the situation unharmed....I would be more than a little freaked out if that happened to me though!!....What makes you think the attack was internet related?....just curious.

In all sincerity, I think the chances of this type of thing occuring are quite slim. It is far more likely that my agressive driving style will result in somebody following me home and causing me to call Gull for help. Statistically speaking, you are probably more likely to die in a fiery car crash than to be attacked by a fired up internet junky.
BTW, my personal information listed on this website is totally ficticious.
Alright, here's what happened: Everybody was kung-fu fighting--those kicks were fast as lightning. In fact, it was a little bit frightning, but they fought with expert timing.
Seriously, although I do have a black belt, they immediately recognized the kickboard as an instrument of evil. But I think what scared them off in the end was my mindless yardage.
