not at all really... lets have a closer look,
shall we?
rule number one as stated in your sig...
1- Anyone not willing to identify themselves and their current/past teachers should be treated like the Troll that they are and then in this post you justify your rule with this...
rule number two...
2- It doesn't matter what someone in your MA has done or even is doing, all that matters is what YOU can do, and again, your own words...it seems you are implying that you, infact,
do care who someone has trained with, eh? i highlighted the important context of your words.
where in all of creation does it say to reveal anything to anyone?
its not really a matter of hiding, its a matter of sharing... do you share everything with strangers? the point i am attempting to make is a simple one... by keeping some things to yourself, it's harder for others to gauge you, label you, or measure up to you, of course everyone likes to scream
TROLL!!, TROLL!! but that is just another lame excuse and politically correct version of childish name calling when people can't have things their way...
boo-hoo, please pass the tissues.
but to be a fair sport,
since you don't really care who anyone trains with or from where they have gleaned their understanding, i will answer simply this...
nature is my teacher, of course this includes people, animals, ideas, concepts, astrology, celestial mechanics, observation, weather, life experience,
and so forth.
