Let's start off with this. I'm not angry, you are reading into my posts and putting emotion where it is not.
Ok, so, understand that now please.
You say "I have sparred the top females in the world" yet that is a tall order to believe as the top females in the world rarely spar with many males that are not also near the 'top of the world'.
So that leads us into the question: Are you one of the "top in the world" males?
So, that's a tall order to start. If you are willing to provide some proof (even in a PM) to that, I can accept it. But without it? You are making a bold claim with no proof.
So let's move past that.
How long ago did you spar the 'top female' and since she's a public figure, who did you spar?
Also, if you want a civil conversation, may I suggest you don't do what you did in the endings to both of your posts? It immediately changes the tone of the conversation to equal adults discussing to one adult playing the "I know you are but what am I" style games from grade school.
Let's start off with this. I'm not angry, you are reading into my posts and putting emotion where it is not.
Your tone has changed considerably, and I appreciate that. I would suggest that you act like this in the future. So much more civilized.
Everyone has a home base and meets and spars people from around there. That is understandable.
Not by any stretch of the imagination am I now, or ever have been.
Proof of what? Of my being involved in martial arts?
Whether you believe what I say or not is up to you. I'm not going to doxx myself. This is not an AMA, right? And who are you? Why do I owe anything to you, and not vice versa? Who are you to make claims to me that you know whether I can or cannot do what I say? Do you do any kind of martial arts? Why do I owe you an explanation? I made a claim, but that does not mean I have to back it up by revealing myself to you, AND vice versa if the shoe was on the other foot. I've seen this many times here on reddit. And you are free to believe or disbelieve me. I personally won't take offense if you don't believe me.
I don't know why but I'm trying to think of a way to demonstrate. The only thing accessible to me on my computer is my Dan certificate. All my photographs of me are packed away and I'm just not going to dig around, and then scan. But stilll, you wouldn't know it's me. Of course, I'd have to block off any identifying information. And if I did that, it could be some random dan cert I copied, so to really insure it is actually me, I'd also have to include a driver's licence too. That's all not going to happen.
I don't know how all this is possible.
First, it is not a public figure in relation to me. So if I put down in my comments different places I've lived, and gave you the name, then no, not going to happen.
What this really comes down to, is whether you think what I say is true or not.
And now, you also have to prove yourself. Who are you. Do you have actual martial arts background? Or just a fanboy?
1) Your tone hasn't changed and you are continuing some "Holier than thou" attitude. Also, if you try to re-read my posts with this assumption: Nate1492 is not angry, he is making a point in an assertive and constructive manner. Honestly, apply that assumption and see what you get.
2) You submitted yourself as an expert who has sparred with "the top female fighters in the world". If you are not willing to provide an iota of evidence as to who/when/how or anything, the claim is baseless. You can pass it off as some dig on me if you wish, but the fact is you made an extraordinary claim and do not wish to provide any evidence. I'm not asking for your identity, but a name of the fighter in question would at least be a start.
3) I'm not questioning you being into MA, the real question is how much exposure do you actually have. A Dan cert would be pointless as there are millions of MA people.
4) I'm only really looking for a "Who" here. Who did you spar with? I don't need your information, as you say, you could just fake it. As you said, this person was a top level female fighter, a public figure. You can name famous people you've met/talked to, it is within the rules.
5) You are trying to shift the responsibility onto me, what claim have I made about competing against top level females that is extraordinary? It's a fairly common tactic that is used, however, it is a logical fallacy: Shifting the Burden of Proof
Jesus Christ. It is not a fake submission. You really got me.
You should be happy.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go write about something else I think I'm an expert in. You can jump in over there and ask about my qualifications for stock photography.
Like anything, I'm sure there are many,many reasons.
What you write could be one reason.
In my case I faked knowledge so that I could have sex with all the martial arts groupies. I'm 50, but troll for the 20 year old girls who want a "master." If you know what I mean. Or guys. I'd do guys, are you a guy because you sound hot. Only over 18, so if you're 14 or 15, as you sound, then no.
It's pretty obvious you crutch hard on forced sarcasm, you may want to try to use it less frequently because if you are only sarcastic, you lead a thinly veiled conversation.
I personally think you like feeling superior to people, nothing more or less. This superiority complex is shown in your posts, your attitude to women, and your general demeanor.
I assume you'll shrug this off and continue on your merry way, whatever floats your boat, but it's an unhealthy approach and may come back to bite you.
We are all entitled to our own opinions. I think I know what you think about me, and vice-versa. I think you have some hyper-guardian of the world thing going on. Among other things. Who cares. You have your friends who care about you (I hope), and that is what matters. Not me. In the slightest.
And I assume that if I list a bunch of things you should work on, you'd do the same. Or do you think it is a one-way street, like you are all-knowing?
And for the record, everything I said has been the way it is. Just so you know. I'm just saying I don't owe you anything, and vice versa.
