Screamager still an absolute stone-cold banger.

I realised I've been unconsciously inserting another 'r' in the middle of the name every time I encountered it up to now, making it the much healthier sounding Drehrer.

h is such an unnerving consonant to have in the middle of a name like that. Almost like the name peters out halfway through, but then expects you to continue somehow.

Spent 3 months at Todai as part of my PhD, totally worth it (as a bit).

Rocks rock.

This ... Seems to be the point the OP was making?

That is a lot of negatives in one tweet!

Maybe I would be more comfortable if Boxing had an "ippon" type rule - One clear, unambiguous blow to the head and the match stops and a winner is declared? I don't know, even that doesn't quite solve it I don't think.

Exactly - it is an attenuated version of 'real sword fighting' in the same way as boxing and Judo are attenuated versions of 'real unarmed fighting'. So, for me, that is not a distinction between Fencing , Judo and other combat sports which I am more comfortable with, and Boxing.

No That's not quite it, Both Boxing and Judo are 'attenuated' versions of "real fighting" - both have limits to allowed techniques and attacks, points systems, umpires etc. And Judo is not without the risk of serious injury or even death. Like I said, It's not an easy distinction to draw.
