Re: Giancarlo DiPierro's Ranks/Qualifications?

Obviously Giancarlo has had time to read this thread and has chosen to not respond. I am sending him a private e-mail asking him to answer the questions. Additionally, I am sending a private e-mail and am asking Jun- the administrator of the Aikiweb to address this issue.

The issue is quite simple. Everybody has a right to their own opinion, regardless of how skewed, uninformed, etc. it might be. The problem arises when somebody engages in fraudulent misrepresentation. Giancarlo has listed himself as a chief instructor in Aikido. He makes assertions and opinions that nobody can vouch for, and can not even seem to vouch for his own training, rank, and qualifications.

Unless he can justify his credentials, I believe that he should be banned from posting.
