How did you know I was a 50 year old sexy woman? What give it away.
You make a good argument. People here will tear it apart though stating that Dale never said he could use his iron palm/body in a fight. The only issue with that rebuttal is that he never stated he cannot fight. His tone is always that he can use his magic on a resisting opponent.

I'm quite sure this wil be received poorly, but what the hell, I had a few minutes between sessions.
Iron fist is right. (I know, who knew I would agree with him?)
Problem is.. it's never enough. No matter what you do, someone is always left unsatisfied and wanting more.
In the 70's, I fought and won full contact events in Asia. My weight class spanned 154 to 184 lbs. I was near the bottom. Most of my opponents were older and near the top. I still won. But see, that doesn't count because there is no VIDEO.
In the 80's, I trained teams to compete in the Kuoshu in Taiwan. We produced 12 champions in '81 and '82. But when the internet was born in the 90's, people still said that Xingyi could not be used for competitive fighting. I said, but what about those twelve champions in the early 80's? They said; well, that was then.
So in the 90's, we re-entered the kuoshu. I trained and produced 25 champions from '94 to 2000. They called it an anomaly (and still do).
If you beat someone and post the vid, they say "he wasn't good enough" or "he was outclassed" or "you didn't really go all that hard" or any number of other statements.
So I figure that it is never enough. I think Dale figures much the same thing. So he invites, not challenges, invites people to come and see for themselves.
I do much the same. And have always been accused of "challenging" when I invite.
The internet is a funny place. It allows people to have a voice on issues that, prior to the internet, they would have never had a voice at all. They are not on the net so much to learn and/or discuss. They have other agendas.
When you are public, like Dale, you are an easy target for those who hide behind the mask. I think Dale, like me, sometimes simply gets tired of the masked sniping.
My teacher, when I was young and still full of fire, told me one afternoon; "You must practice big stomach, endure. You try fix everybody, you be very busy boy, never accomplish anything." He's right. And I do try to exercise that. But at times, it's really very hard to ignore such blatant ignorance.
I empathize with Dale.
One of these days the world is going to become so politically correct that it will scare itself out of existence.

David Jamieson,
Would you please curtail the "spade" talk? You're pushing buttons, man. You're really pushing buttons!!!!
mickey
no
Dave left on his own, it was subsequent to an interaction w an idiot other than urself albeit one making similar noises; u had nothing to do with it;
also, Dave has never tried to hide from the existence of the video; he has always been very direct about both how he got taken out that day (part of the reason being was that he was a last minute substitute for the guy who was supposed to fight, and had not been training - of course, dumb idea to get into the ring under those circumstances, but that's what happened); in fact, has remarked on numerous occasions that, in general, he was a "B fighter at best"; he doesn't promote himself as a fighter, because he has no evidence to support that; he promotes himself as a coach, because he has a respectable number of successful fighters that he has trained;
while I am the first to agree that Dave is acerbic, confrontational and abrasive, u can't say he hasn't been forthright about his background and capacity; he also never hid behind an anonymous screen name, which says something IMPO
no
Dave never got nor actually ever really tried to get any business from here; the vast majority of business Dave gets is so far removed from the population of this forum u can't imagine; the majority (>90%) of his business is NY'ers looking for an intense and interesting workout (read: people with jobs and $ to spend); for Dave to invest any time here for the purposes of finding clients is ludicrous;
yes
and his latest blog post might give u sum idea of why that is the case:

It is pretty embarrassing that Chan Tai Sans star student trained and fought like the people Dave Ross makes fun of. Flowery forms and getting knocked out in the ring describes modern day kung foo as well as Kung foo back then.
That video is an embarrassment to your whole lineage. Good thing he trained with the so called "killer of Japanese soldiers". His old rants are proof positive that his time in tcma was a waste but he keeps the facade up to make himself seem more legit. "I am not just some fat guy with a high squeaky voice who does not know anything outside of forms!". That, the truth, would sound horrible.
This sounds better. "I trained with the greatest tcmaist ever who killed Japanese soldiers and I was his senior student".
