"The Dur-Con hoax lay at the heart of Hansard's deception, there was no oral tradition, just a cynical and self-driven mind, that exploited those willing to believe the myth. If on the other hand you have objective and convincing information that proves Hansard was indeed following a genuine and ancient tradition please do provide details."
That's your story and I see you are sticking with it. If you actually talk to a lot of people who read his books and have attended his workshops you will find that the vast majority attended or read because they found it all interesting or helpful in some way. The marketing may well have attracted them, or not. But to suggest that the marketing was all there was is too belittle the intelligence of thousands of people.
As for whether or not Hansard was following a genuine or ancient tradition, that is only a crime in the DurCon court, presided over by you know who. Frankly I don't give a f**k. Research and reworking and presenting anew, if that is what he did, is perfectly legitimate.
Unless you reveal more of your motivation, and your personal experience of Hansard, I will only be left with the notion that you want to destroy him for your own self satisfaction and you are willing to manipulate the pain and confusion of others in order to do that.
