On a side not concerning the above mentioned video...
If you look at any of the stupid one line comments below the video, click on the posters name... Almost every single poster's profile is EXACTLY the same as the one above it, the same 3 favorite vids, and the same stupid comments...! Looks just a tad suspicious doesn't it?

Speaking of Prof. E.A. Moore, check out the claims below:


I ran across this blog with a guy claiming he was inducted into the hall of fame as Martial Artist of the year back in 99. I looked at the inductees list and he is not there.

So listen really close to this video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4bRpNJmKhI

Carter says Beginning at: 1:16 "People just have an interest in JKD, more than any other organization, and Myself as any other teacher in the history of JKD; more than Bruce Lee and any of his other students combined and there students combined"...

This is not a exact quote, but it is as close as I could get. Listen for yourself, as he falls all over his words through out the "speech".

So am I listening to this correctly, is he really saying that people are more interested in HIS ORGANIZATION more than Bruce Lee, his students, and there students combined?!?!?!

Snow day today, so there's a little time for the subject.

Apparently Carter has also sent Wikipedia his form letter for legal action. This back in 2007.

That would be such a ridiculous court case. I doubt that he has any legal adviser right now because if he did, they would probably explain why he's been going about this in a really stupid way.

Did you get screenshots of his press release before it was taken down for not being a press release? That seems like the most libelous thing done so far.

[hungryjoe]

Yep

and from his blog

http://worldjkd.wordpress.com/catego...-rex-ashcraft/

Given that a Google search under my name gets 1st hit on the above, I've started getting to Bullshido via it's hit under his name and then logging on. Good to see he's back up to number two.

[frogninja]

So I received another legal threat from the "professor", sometime ago. It was sent to my email address connected to this forum, he states that he is going to sue me due to my "MANY LIBELOUS STATEMTENTS" (no this is not a typo on my part, it is a direct copy/paste, from the email). Funny thing is, this is the third such threat and still he has no idea who I am. He has used 3 different names and 3 different comments regarding something going on that I can only assume is from facebook/myspace.

So Professor, here is something for you to consider; every statement made on my part is pertaining directly to one of YOUR videos, a statement that YOU made, on one of your 112+ websites, or something said in an email that YOU sent me. What I am exercising here is called free speech, I believe that you are a fraud, fake, deceitful, etc... This is MY OPINION and thanks to those that came before me, this is also a constitutional right! If this is not the case, please prove me wrong! Show me the proof that you have (not some BS certificate), because everything that I have seen does nothing but reinforce my argument!

Hell send me a video demonstrating your amazing martial prowess, something that does not include you smacking a knife away and spasm against your target (also I should mention, that said knife is directly in line to stab you in the neck throughout the video, but you being the master and all should know that a cut to the carotid will bleed you dry in a matter of minutes, but I digress.); and I will shut the hell up!

Legally speaking, is there a difference in posting libelous information on a public forum vs posting it on a website that you run (like Carter does)?

He must've had his lawlyer draw that up.

Actually I think the real justice in all of this would be if he actually ended up with a horribly unqualified lawyer that faked his law credentials.
