I think this is reasonable behavior for marshalls.  It might help to
phrase the comment as a question, such as:

"Is that an arrow sticking out of your chest?"
"Doesn't it hurt when that big rock lands on your head?"

Of course, in melees it's sometimes hard to be heard at all, so you have
to be more direct.
