He likes to brag about having written letters of support for a few people with unaccredited degrees.

In these reports he flatly called all unaccredited schools complete frauds or at best nearly worthless. Now how would a few letters make up for his blanket statements to the press that all of the unaccredited schools were fake or worthless?
No, Bear has been far more harmful than any unaccredited school could ever be.
You know it wasn't the schools that were fake and useless. It was Bear.
James,
Good to see you back posting.
You are right that Bear is a phony. I, too, can understand and even respect someone who has changed their mine on an issue. The problem with John Bear is that he promoted various unaccredited schools that he touted as legitimate and intimated that they may eventually become candidates for accreditation (undoubtedly because of his involvement with the school
). However, as soon as he no longer had any financial interest in that school the story changed. He would first detail some problems that he uncovered that caused him to sever ties. After a period, he would then start calling the school a mill, savage it in interviews and in the press (if he could con a reporter into believing that he was an expert). Simultaneously he would be quietly become involved in another new (and unaccredited) school and the cycle would begin once again. Dr. Hayes called John Bear (and the late Uncle Janko) on this b.s. in 2005. Neil had recently been complimented on his doctoral diss by JB in private correspondence but later was ripped by the same JB on some DL board. Uncle J was also great for the same type of crap.
