    So there I was, minding my own business, when *ping*, an email arrives. One of my friends sent me the following. For the record, it is not a private message but rather something published to a public mailing list. That should make it TOS compliant. If it is not then I do apologise to the mods but I believe I'm acting within TOS so we should be okay.

    So even Wikipedia is unwilling to allow Antony Cummins to comment on the subject as they don't believe he's a reliable researcher. And here he is trying to find people who will help him get round that. Perhaps we can get people on Wikipedia to discuss his research methods (a.k.a. plagiarism) so that he is not allowed to post material to bolster his false authority?

    To be fair, he was right about one thing. Manga is a true ninjette and probably has "t3h r34lz"

She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the charlatans, trolls, and the forces of bullshido darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer. She is Manga."

    With apologies to Buffy. :)

    I never did like you Jibrank :hammer: :hat:

    Actually I think Janeane Garofalo would do very nicely. Smart, sassy and sexy. Issue her with a Trollhammer +5 and this movie will be an academy award winner :cool:

    :D

    Is this meant to be a clue to your identity like when Woodward/Bernstein mentioned that Hal Holbrook (who played him in the film) looked like the actual Deep Throat (who turned out being the similar looking Mark Felt)?

    And with that my crush for you deepens.

    I sure hope you are not some chunky flatulent git, perched in front of the computer with cracker crumbs on your undershirt, sweating in your stained skivvies.

    If you are, do not spoil it for me. OK?

    These things are why one should always take wiki with a grain of salt (that users can actually shape wiki, also ignorant ones or ones with an agenda. And of course the mere existance of Manga. Someone with skills like that can not be trusted. What if SHE would cross to the dork side?)

    Interesting,the home page says
    Welcome to Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

    but I guess what they actually meant was
    Welcome to Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia that anyone with the notable exclusion of Antony Cummins can edit.

    And for me - the crush weakens.

    I love hollywood types who think we care about their opinions on world events, politics, etc...

    The picture above wasn't bad, but the picture doesn't talk...

    On a related note, there already is an English language translation for sale by Axel Mazuer.

    I looked a copy over in my local bookstore. It seems a decent translation from Japanese to English. I did not spot any glaring errors. The commentary is a lot lighter than I have been putting in to explain various items. Still, considering what we have seen from Anthony Cummings, less commentary is better than the flawed comments we have seen from him.

    So why would someone buy his version later when they could buy a more established one right now?

    the skill of Don

    Hi Don

    I would like to say I have read your last post and that you have seen the Shoninki done by Axel Mazuer and that you say “there seem to be no glaring mistakes”.

    I want to give you this chance to double check Don, many people “rate” you and your Shoninki translation. So in fairness, please check again as it is your reputation that is on the line here.


    Then tell me if there are no GLARING mistakes. I will wait for you to come back and tell us if you find any.

    Also, please do not come back with the excuse that you do not want to give me the answers. My book went to print, I have no more control over it, all my mistakes are now in black and white. Also, there are enough mistakes to go round, so just a few of the mistakes you can not find will be fine.


    Manga, looking forward to your review and our bet, remember, you said you would side with me and support me if our translation turned out to be good! I hope you have been practicing your sosho? (and I hope you can pull some great Kanji out of the bag and prove me wrong!)

    I remember Ashida Kim had a similar issue with updating his own page. Go figure.

    That is a very demanding attitude considering that you have ignored answering many questions yourself.

    If I get a copy, I might do a revue. In the meantime, you can start answering questions instead of giving excuses and laying down conditions before you say you will answer.

    I, for one, would be very interested to hear about Mr Cummins training with Tanemura Sensei at the Genbukan Honbu Dojo in Japan.
