Listen to this:
1. Anyone can do anything with a shinai. Why would you be offended? Did he use yours? Did he do it inside a dojo?
2. Stop trying to be an elitist.

1) Lets say you are a professional race car driver. And you see a yuppie buy a Porche GT and then you watch the guy try and park and see him hit the curb etc. Wouldn't you cringe that such a beautiful machine is in the hands of a complete twat.

2) Say, you spent a good deal of effort training in an art. Some twat comes along who says he does what you do but studied by watching a few ninja films. Wouldn't you be insulted? Its not being an elitist...its just watching idiots pretend or try to be something they are not.
