Archers; Too heavily armed

Again, read back, and there's a distinct difference between a militia archer (someone who has turned up for annual service with a bow or a crossbow) and a proffessional (a seasoned veteran who also shoots a crossbow or a warbow). The proffesionals will have been sparring with other troops, and seen their fair share of battlefields; siege warfare was a 12th-13thC staple, and a man who couldn't fight once the walls were reached weren't much use. Therefore expect veteran proffesionals to wear armour, wield shortarms and be about as useful as their infantry compatriots in melee.
The first troops Richard I raised for the Third Crusade were mercenary crossbowmen, because an experienced commander knows that a bunch of well-seasoned hard-hitters with bows can form the backbone to a decent army. Pretty much the evolution of warfare led to the ranged troops taking up more and more of the battlefield until they took it all.

Since when is making concise and correct arguments anything like 'massive ass.' Couple that with the fact that idiots quite frequently resurrect threads like this only because they want to spew their ill-conceived notions of Hollywood-Medieval warfare and I'm sure you can imagine that someone who has actually put effort in studying the subject might get a little bit annoyed because they have to repeat everything they say at least thrice before the thread is left alone for half a month and the circus starts again.

He had said them several times previous, I only quoted it so everyone knew who I was talking about.
