Query: Overly indulgent fencing flake

While an excellent writer and story teller, Nick Evangelista has an extremely slanted view of the modern fencing world. While I agree with many of the points he makes, I cannot help but feel slighted reading it. In his opinion, any modern fencer is a hack who wields his weapon like a club. I cannot count the times I have come across people that have read his book and take it to heart and are extremly shocked when they finally face the reality of modern fencing. His view's generally cause more problems than he helps.
