Nor should it, but for some odd reason, it bothered me.  lol

The whole WMA/HEMA world has a lot of big egos in it. Whether you actively do historical combat or not, the nitpicking really needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Different groups emphasize different things, and people do what their emphasis, rules, and expertise allow. If you're having a good time, then I think you've accomplished your goal. Ignore the naysayers!

I think I took offense because the criticism leveled wasn't positive...that one guy seemed to need to point out what he saw as a lack of technique.  Led me to believe he'd never actually been in a fight before.  lol
