      I'd literally never heard of M1 before watching Metatron's video on the topic, nor have I looked into it since. But go off, I guess.
      Metatron made a shitty video essentially whingeing about how the spectator sport M1 is ridiculous because it doesn't conform to the standards of HEMA, a discipline that isn't really all that closely related except that it has swords, and then when people disagreed with him he made an ultra-condescending video in which he ignored and distorted their perfectly valid points in order to vindicate his own position instead of seriously considering theirs.

      Also, jumping to conclusions is the death of the scientific method.
      Also, calling someone a nerd or fat hasn't been insulating for about two decades. Up your game, you ignorant foppish loon of a cowardly milksop.
      By the way, _that_ is how you insult someone.

    Sage words from Sir Donnely. 6 years ago on a bright moonlit night in Sheffield as the rustling winds swept around me, as if heralding a momentous event taking place, I managed to catch a glimpse of Sir Donnely's swordplay. Entire trees were cleaved asunder, boulders cracked, and widows made. I shan't forget the sight to my dying days. Sir Donnely is most right on insisting he practice his deadly techniques in secret.

    But the likes if John Clements, Mike Analson and László Schunder absolutly loathe you if you have anything against theirs. And these are 3 people on the extremes. Don't get me wrong I do take from the latter two quite a bit of stuff. But dare to challange them and you will be told that your mother sleeps with dwarves.
