Really??
I didn't name you or any of the coaches I'd been talking - that would be poor form - yet you think it's appropriate to publicly call me out? And disclose details of our conversation? How do you think this looks to prospective students?
My OP must have hit a nerve for you to have reacted this way and assumed I was talking about you.

That's because
I'd already asked in multiple PMs and was ignored. Understandably, I assumed asking again would gain nothing but awkwardness. Besides, I shouldn't have to ask - it should be a standard part of a sales pitch for verification and enticement.

You also mentioned that you wanted to take a pack of hours, but then never got back to me.
I told you I had to wait til payday, try and find money to pay for a batch of lessons, and would get back to you when I'm ready. I was also talking to other coaches and trying to find extra info on you all. And yeah, I began to doubt if paying a lot of money to the first person I'd spoken to, who'd shut down access to their results was a wise move.
Ultimately, there was no obligation for me to get back to you.

I'm happy to show you my results, if you simply reply to me privately and actually request this
So the first few times I asked weren't enough?
It's okay for you to call me out in public for no reason (you weren't named or implied) yet I must reply to you privately?
Its okay for you to divulge details about me but you'll only divulge details about yourself in private?

I attempted to follow up with you on Skype....and you didn't even read my messages.
That's because I hadn't been back on Skype since we spoke. I was going to reply tonight but then I saw your post.

You also spent a lot of the time we had to speak complaining fruitlessly about bad beats which is a total waste of energy.
I mentioned bad beats when you asked why I'm not a profitable player (one reason was I always bust final tables early - with 7 of my last 10 FT exits down to bad beats) and when discussing variance I mentioned some insane beats and jokingly said it makes me wonder if online poker is rigged.

The time spent by a coach giving a free consult is quite costly vs. their usual hourly in coaching. Personally I offer this as a good way to set the tone with my students which is to give more of my time freely and to be friendly in how I do my work.
Yet it was you who wanted an hour-long Skype session - I just wanted you to reply to my PM requests for info so I could do some checks before getting back to you if I wanted to take things further. You can't play the martyr here.

Most regs these days block their results on Sharkscope, this is common practice.
It may be common but I see no reason why - hence my OP. Why hide? Good results are the best form of marketing.

If a coach won't show you their results when requested, that's a concern.
And on that note I refer you back to my PM requests that were ignored.
