Hi folks,
Since I'm ringing the bells on the AikiWiki, I thought I'd suggest we could add this sort of thing in the styles and organizations section of the AikiWiki?
http://www.aikiweb.com/wiki/styles/home
Although I would rather not have a list of "Fraudulent Aikido Organizations" or "Fraudulent Aikido Instructors," I think having a document there (like the one John is trying to write up) that may help people choose a respectable aikido dojo would be a nice addition there.
Also, it looks like we've started naming specific individuals and organizations in this thread. Too bad, I think, as this thread has seemingly drifted from talking about the ideas to talking about specific instances...
