This thread won't be shut down but without a board member taking a personal interest it won't get very far either.

Understood Whiteshark. E-budo have re-opened the thread again and it appears to be gaining some pace. Hopefully Mr Grayston will actually be prepared to speak up and clarify his position. It just amazes me how someone who has had so much shit dragged up about them would keep so silent... if you have nothing to hide then and all of the issues could be resloved in a couple of short posts why keep schtum? You guys here have a lot more experience with these sorts of characters than me, does silence equate to guilt or could it be seen as taking the higher path and not dignifying it with a response? If it is the latter he seemed to be very vocal when there wasn't much substance to questions, but once people dug deeper he has gone silent. Not solid evidence I know, but stinks of guilt IMHO.

grayston on a bullshido thread last year:
"I have nothing at all to do with this World Soke Council and asked to be removed from their site years ago - but the still list me. I can publically state here that I am in no way connected with these people and have never used the title 'Soke'."

note: this was the picture that is now missing:

webpage this week:
http://www.shindoryu.org/founder.htm

photo of his 'master' is missing. why? because it was mentioned in a forum recently that the 'master' is actually a picture of the guy on a japanese bill:
http://store.banknotes.com/image.php?productid=16976

the picture was then removed from the website within a day of that post.

then, someone related to an affiliate with his org says: "contact the japanese imperial council they awarded the rank on hanshi greyston."

lol. "japanese imperial council"...you know, the one that was disolved, arrested and charged with war crimes in 1945.

Not sure/can't recalll your posts. Think you might have been too 'flippant'. ;)

Am pretty sure you were banned for not signing posts with full name. Best way to do that is to have it set up in your signature...and it automatically adds it to every post.

PS. Just because you are banned doesn't mean you can't see what is going on. (Been there...;) ) Clear your cookies/log out.
