From a recent post in the Discussion (Archive):
If you are the same Doctor who appeared in ?Shaolin Ulysses it is such a shame that instead of contributing to the light which surrounds Shaolin you came off like some self absorbed idiot, with too much cash and too little sense ready to package and sell Shaolin with a Hooters franchise right next to the temple.....
Next time you get a chance to be seen try to contribute something a little more positive because truthfully you struck most of the audience including me as a real live asshole.
Kind regards

Actually I feel kinda bad about my posting in the Shaolin Ulysses thread.
Gene Ching is a good friend of mine and speaks well of you Doc. I did not consider the fact that editing and the film makers vision (or lack thereof) can strongly influence the perception of a CHARACTER. Gene also informed me of your good work toward promoting Shaolin which also just happens to be my life's work. So cheers Doc keep up the good work and I promise not to call you an asshole again until I met you and can judge for myself :-))
Peace

I tried to post this at your forum but it would not take.
No problem. Appreciate the response. I have no doubt that I'm going to get more abuse as this thing wears on. PBS is expected to air it sometime this summer or fall. Quite frankly, I'm not looking forward to it. The problem with the special is that most people miss the message that the film producers were trying to send; most people just get hung up on the imagery, which, at the time of filming, I knew was not "good", but, being a good friend of Gene's (and since Gene was on the production team at the time), I just did what they wanted. I had a feeling that it wasn't going to go over well, but, I was just being helpful. I did what they wanted me to do.
So much for being helpful. Oh, well, a little character assassination is always good, every once in a while. It makes you stronger.
It will be interesting, as time goes on. Once this thing airs, no doubt, people are going to want to crucify me. The forum no doubt will be entertaining, to say the least.
