I did. He said "Disprove this statement." I did. Human psychological impulses also prove that you exist in the fact that a chemical reaction has to take place in a set environment for you to create a false entity. The false entity therefore he doesn't truly exist, therefore proving that he does exist. If I had created him in my own mind due to some psychologicaly failed impulse, then he is in fact part of my own conscious being and therefore "exists" in my existence. Now..since that wasn't the original question, the disproof for his existence lies in the fact that the environment recognizes that he exists. Others would recognize my psychological failings (hopefully) and then I would be analyzed and others would recognize the "existence" of him inside of me, therefore making a larger environment recognize him as an institution and co-exister with me.
True. SirVLCIV may exist as a thought impulse, but still not as another intelligent entity. Unless there was a subdivided portion of the brain for the various people that you think you interact with. Then, they would be very real, and all would be projections of the self. But that might be a stretch....but a very interesting one.

Your ability don't state the above makes it false.
Do you mean "Your ability TO state the above makes it false?" If so, that's wrong anyway.

I could say, "Well, I never could come up with those things, so since I never thought of it, you can't be creations of mine."

But that doesn't necessarily do anything for you, because you don't know that I'm a creation of yours, and you may have thought the same thing. Like I said before, its a paradox of sorts.
