If you want to see a good old-fashioned SCA flame war, check out Why Fencing Harms the SCA as a Whole. I even responded (at around the 150 message mark), and I'm not a rapier fighter.
There is no rapier community in Calontir. If there is enough interest, and the grunt work is done, then a Rapier culture will appear.
I am not sure why they haven't yet. I think apathy is a good answer.
The rapier community knows that if you want respect, then you need to earn it. We don't expect, require it, or assume it. At least the squad in avacal.
Apparently the Rapier culture in the eastern cultures is... interesting to say the least.
I won't get into my commentary on this. It is long, and drawn out. Basically he is talking about more the eastern and south eastern kingdoms. It is also a nice rehash of the early versus late period debate that comes about consistently.
