We have a group of people who want to dominate conversations about Aikido on the international stage. When the evidence they present is questioned with logic and counter-evidence, they resort to repeated personal attacks, disparaging remarks, and now this. I have contacted Jun repeatedly about this. Because he hasn't responded, I will.
One might feel there is a religious zeal when people get exposed to IS skills, on the otherhand if people can start to replicate some of the feats attributed Ueshiba after a relatively short period of time providing a different perspective on the founders words, its hard to ignore.

For many, its like their eyes were opened to what the potential of martial arts could be. Its hard to go back after that....
