I edited my previous post to include the point in question.
I make reference to Mr. Mcdonald's post on the first page.

Mr. McDonald,
Could you Please show me where has ARMA stated such policy?
Could you show me one official ARMA webpage that states such?

It is inherently funny that you, after all your phony arguments to validate your own fake maestro title, has the lack of wits to argue such nonsense?

Please ...

In fear of throwing more fuel to dying flames:


I know it's been a confunsing and weary thread. But those that you cite are exactly some of the reasons why this is not a witch hunt, nor a persecution against such characters.
This is not a simple matter of titles inside of their organizations ...

Are you going to be at ISMAC this year?
Sean

Only if there are sesions open to genreal public. I've been saving my monies to attend the international ARMA gathering.

I browsed trough the 2007 ISMAC program, but I did not semm to find information in this regard. Do you happen to know if there ...

But a friend tipped me off that my name was mentioned, and I got curious.

I beg your pardon, if you feel my taking you as an example of classical fencing tradition, offended you in any way.
Not my intention at all to drag your name into this mess, nor put you under any sort of negative light ...

Stephen,
My question was extremely specific, and the answer extremely misguiding (as I complained all along for allthe questions I posed and answers received.) I specifically asked about the governing body that tested and granted.

Nonetheless, it would be natural to assume that a maestro title ...

You mean like this: m ?
steve

In part, since at least in his answers to you he did not take as many detours as in the ones he gave me.

Nontheless, for example, it is still contradictory that when I asked what was the governing body that examined him and granted his "maestro title" he said ...

Dear All,

It gives me no pleasure or satisfaction to keep answering to blinkered accusations by men who do not know me.

Well, you have dragged us along several pages refusing to set straight several points regarding your persona, simple questions to which you have offered different answer ...

So Mr. Sinclair,
can you provide actual credentials, recognized by aknowleged serious fencing bodies?
or all you can do is to whine about a somewhat confusing post (by the author's aknowledgement?
Is that all you have to prove your claims?

It may be very possible that you are very knwoledgable ...

Thank you Matt and Gianluca,

There is no real organization that have ever tested nor granted master titles to any of the so-called maestros.
All they've been doing is syaing that they were recognized as such by dead people (without having the slightest proof of it (nor the mastery of their ...

Mr. Brooks, what a surprise...
How do you pretend to be taken seriously if you told me that you wanted to open a dialog, but I do not see you doing more that exactly what you abhor other people to do?
Why havent you replied any of my several mails?
Ought I remember you that YOU wanted to start a ...

and the (apparent) sudden appearance of a double-stand is disappointing.
steve

My dear Stephen go, trough the thread and you'll see how Mr. McDonald argues in favor of the continuity of linages in fencing, using other europeans arts.
He also said that the was acknowleged as a Fisas Master, to ...

especially when, in the case of the AEEA threads, your own chosen witnesses speak highly of the people you accuse!
--Johannes

And even though they still testify about Loriega's saying there is no school and they haven't found the school themselves.

Interesting how you separate matters ...

What I am trying to establish is whether there is any reason *I* (or anybody else) should believe you.

--Johannes

I figured out that much.

It is obvious that everyone is sticking to to his own guns.

However I would highly recomend to read over what has been stated in the thread by Mr ...

But again, I'm getting tired of this.
It seems pretty obvious that we are not gonna get anywhere here.
Nor Mr. McDonald seems to take our points nor capable of clearly expose and defend his own by himself.

Regarding the Loriega matter, it seems evident that nothing wil be done, since Mr ...
