    If I call someone a liar and then they beat my ass because they’re better at fighting, does that make them not a liar? I’ve never understood that line of logic. Trial by combat and the gods deciding the truth isn’t a real thing, these guys know that, right?

      Texas has a law that makes it legal to shoot a man after dark to protect property. It's a relic from a time when stealing a man's horse could leave him stranded to die in the middle of nowhere or unable to work to feed himself and his family.
      Similarly, fighting over being called a liar is a relic from a time when a man's word meant something and to sully a man's word amongst the community by calling him a liar could result in him being held slightly beneath the town drunk in social standing and unable to find work or business partners. It would have been far less of an insult to walk up and punch him square in the face, and the expectation was that an honest man would be so offended that he'd be willing to challenge the accuser to a duel to defend his name; not so much to prove he's telling the truth but to show that, liar or not, his word means something to him and he's willing to risk his life over it.
      Sadly, duels ain't what they used to be.

      He’s just a bit naive about some aspects of the world. Very knowledgeable about others. People who goofed off on drugs and drinking a lot in high school, missed out on a lot of other, more nuanced aspects of life, as it turns out. Same with college. The most useful aspects of going to college, aren’t the classes, as much as what we learned about people, having to live with others, from different backgrounds, pursing different fields of interest, learning to compromise, live on our own, do our own laundry, live on a pittance, and to find a way to get along with eachother. No one mentions this part, but it is the most valuable aspect of college, and frankly, at least in the recent past, anyone who pursued college, had a base level of initiative, discipline and responsibility in high school, that allowed them to achieve the grades, (believe me, I’m no student, but I worked hard) to get into a decent college, in the first place. Many special forces and most enlisted military, join to get their crap together, as a last resort. Let’s be honest. The stoners were too stoned to pay attention to the rest of school, outside of class, as well.

    Here is my problem with your story,Ben. I don’t know you and have no affiliation with you other than having bought gear from your store at the recommendation of Tony. That all being said, you provide stories you heard from other unnamed people. We all know how that works in real life. Could Tony have enhanced some stuff ?Sure he could have, it happens to all of us to make a point or to “enhance” a story. To discredit Tony without providing any proof is the problem. I remember the problem with the practical pistol shooting stuff. He ought right said he manipulated scores, he had a reason which I don’t remember. The fact is he said he did something that could discredit himself. He didn’t lie or say it never happened. That association was one of the reasons I never got into shooting those matches. It was too game centric. Without a doubt it could enhance your shooting, it just wasn’t real world for me. Tony’s incident with the running gun fight is taught in certain places to show ways to fight CQB by yourself. It is documented to have happened and used as a teaching point. I can’t say everything happened the way portrayed as I wasn’t there. I do know that in incidents I have been involved in my understanding of the step by step evolution evolved as I moved farther away from the incident. You don’t remember some stuff linearly. It pops up in pieces and becomes clearer over time. I personally haven’t heard Tony brag about anything. He downplays most things. He is unique to say the least and I trust him. Can’t say much more than that in my opinion. So call him a liar, say you heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy. Do your thing. But you can’t make a valid point without proof. Tony has done some extreme fitness stuff, such as running in 200 mile races. The two I am thinking of may have been longer distance, but he didn’t win and in one he damn near died. Who boasts about losing races? He just said I did this and this happened. The two I know about he left injured and in the one case near death. He then said I will be back to try again. He is a great instructor. He is a solid friend to those he choses as friends. State facts you can prove and I will support you. State stuff you heard from a guy or “they” said and I have problems with it.

    • @sogetsu72
      @sogetsu72 10 месяцев назад +5

      In Tony’s last posted story (on Ben’s page) he states that “some guys were doing edits” and he “had no idea” so if he admitted actually doing it himself to you, now he’s walking that story further and further back. That doesn’t exactly scream integrity. And the CrossFit thing is documented. It sounds like you want to split hairs about “he cheated in X but there isn’t proof he cheated in Y” as a friend. But there are numerous witnesses to the USPSA thing as well as those who openly contradict that in subsequent matches Tony shot (his own quote) “consistent M and GM scores”. The consensus is that he was performing low B class at best.

      Ben has known about this guy for a long time and observed a consistent pattern and practice of dishonesty/ cheating in many ways, times, and sports. He's sharing what he personally knows and what multiple fact witnesses have shared with him that he found credible. I'm sure he neither has the time nor interest to lay out evidence and document all the specific testimony, witnesses, documentation, and electronic evidence. I'm also sure he is smart enough to know that you will believe what you want to believe regardless. Especially if you are already minimizing the massive amount of cheating he did on Practiscore.
