Nobody expects the Masked Inquisition! That's why they can't be beat; their chief element is surprise, and fear, well make that two chief elements, and anonymity. Damn! Make that three chief elements...

Oh, now I see where you are getting at.

Damn good article...!

[DarkPhoenix]

Oh, now I see where you are getting at.

What's funny is that a rabid MP fan as myself didn't see what you did.

Bravo. :-)

The Milt Wallace investigation is what finally got me to quit lurking and to post, as I was able to actually contribute something....unlike now.

So, blame Milt Wallace for my Bullshido existance.

The article had too much focus on anonymity for a few reasons:
1) Not everyone here is anonymous
2) The investigations typically concern public claims
3) Anonymity on the internet can be busted with a court order if it gets too serious
4) An anonymous argument can/should be judged by the merits of the argument, besides appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

Still liked the article though!

That's cause, you know, our chief element is surprise and all...:ninjafigh

what gets me about milt wallace is he's so dumb about the internet and his posting so weird that he could be bad as fuck and it wouldn't matter - it's the pile of bombast and lies and exaggerations that drew the investigation. He's another sammy franco or emin boeztepe - you only have to look at him to know the average guy isn't going to mess with him but that doesn't mean everything he says is forthright.

Sooooo . . . . Milton Wallace does come off just as crazy in person. Good to know.

Question: Why should martial artists respond to Bullshido which includes comments made by anonymous posters?

A: Because they publicize questionable claims and should therefore be willing to discuss such claims with any member of the public.

B: Are we "mob justice" ?

A: Answer, it depends on the definition. the author defines mob justice as a bunch of mostly anonymous, ticked off people on the internet who write negative comments to Kung Fu Roy on his You Tube channel. I define Mob justice as when a bunch of assholes show up in your front lawn with pitchforks, call you at all hours of the night, or order cod packages and have them sent to your home. We've never condoned or supported this "mob justice" which is very 4chan.

"Mob Justice" is a loaded phrase with strong negative connotations and therefor, is a much more weighty and emotive description.

Impact, not accuracy, was his intent.
