MMM,

I do not believe it is the correct course of action to air this out in the open. As a moderator you should know this is something that should be handled through PMs. To do so without getting his position will only sow misunderstanding and distrust within the forum.

Personally I have little doubt about HaipaKun's nationality. I confess to know next to nothing about the Japanese language. However I was introduced to him over a year ago, and I firmly believe what he says. Although they are no longer hosted, I've seen a few videos, of himself practicing his English, that he once uploaded to YouTube.

In the end it is upto you and the other moderators of this forum, to arrive at a desicion on this matter. However now that this has been introduced in the public, the resolution should be as well. If it is determened that he presented to truth, then a public retraction should be given to remove any lingering doubts that anyone may harbor.
