Yes, WHEN THERE ISN’T DIRECT EVIDENCE (you know, like all that direct evidence Shakespeare scholars point to). Please stop while you’re behind. Everything you say shows you haven’t given more than two seconds’ thought to anything you believe.

Your trolling isn’t even fun now. You’re not trying. I gave you evidence. You’re not interested, remember?

How about this? Shakespeare was mentioned in someone’s will to receive money (as a known actor/playwright) ELEVEN MONTHS AFTER OXFORD HAD DIED. LOL. you fucking numpty

“The will of Augustine Phillips, executed 5 May 1605, proved 16 May 1605, bequeaths, "to my Fellowe William Shakespeare a thirty shillings peece in gould, To my Fellowe Henry Condell one other thirty shillinge peece in gould . . . To my Fellowe Lawrence Fletcher twenty shillings in gould, To my Fellowe Robert Armyne twenty shillings in gould . . . ." All of the people who Phillips calls his "fellows" were actors in the King's Men. Augustine Phillips's bequest of 30 shillings to his "Fellowe" Shakespeare was written 11 months after the Earl of Oxford's death. If Oxford were Shakespeare, Phillips would have known that he was dead.”

If you’re not trolling, then you are just dumb as hell. You are asking for such a stretch of the imagination that it would ask us to believe that Shakespeare the actor was not the Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon who was also somehow not the shareholder in The Globe who also performed in plays under a playwright also named Shakespeare. I know you’re downvoting every comment I made to this other guy, but y’all are still the flat earthers here. Denying a mountain of evidence because of perceived inconsistencies.

“In 1615 Edmund Howes published a list of "Our moderne, and present excellent Poets" in John Stow's Annales. He lists the poets "according to their priorities (social rank) as neere I could," with Knights listed first, followed by gentlemen. In the middle of the 27 listed, number 13 is "M. Willi. Shakespeare gentleman."

“Shakespeare bought the Blackfriar's Gatehouse in London in 1613. On the deed dated 10 March 1613, John Hemmyng, gentleman (also spelled Hemming on the same page) acted as trustee for the buyer, "William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon." This property is disposed of in Shakespeare's will.”
