As far as I am concerned we have NO agreement with Haase. He should consider himself very fortunate indeed that we are allowing him a \'lifeline\' to prevent serious legal consequences. As far as I am concerned we can operate this forum in any way that we wish, it is nothing to do with him. We are f...

It is interesting, looking back over my emails from May/June of this year relating to this reminded me of another issue I\'d forgotten. The whole purpose of my sending more funds to Haase in June was because he specifically stated that he had my ITF certification in his possession at that time and t...

I think the best idea would be for him to hand my certificates over to you Max, I simply do not trust him to send anything himself. We can arrange for you to post them to me at a later date. For the BB Status cards, the Black Belts concerned were: Richard Olpin 5th Dan Shona Thornhill 2nd Dan (Junio...

Thanks for the update Max. It is entirely feasible that the UCMAA site was genuinely the victim of a malicious hacker/script kiddies. One of the forums I frequent regarding games programming was attacked in a similar way and the whole site littered with malicious / pornographic links. If you bare in...

[quote=\"Maxwell S. Oates\"] I agree Doug. Good suggestion. I will send official correspondence to Dafyd in such a way that it will indicate a signature line as follows since there are currently 7 members: [/quote] Thats a good idea, and of course it is future proof as we can simply add to...

As I have said earlier, my first priority is the ITF certification. Whilst of course the money that was overcharged should be followed up eventually, providing the ITF certification is forthcoming I would rather see him concentrating on putting right his mesdeeds towards the other members in a timel...

Wow, looks like you guys have been busy! Sorry for the lack of contact from me for the past day or so, a visit to Oxford on Saturday turned into a rather enjoyable all-night party and I\'ve barely had a chance to sit down since getting home yesterday afternoon. Ahh, nothing like teaching a few class...

Master Andrew Davies is a well respected instructor in the UK, He is based in Bristol, about 25 miles from here. When I first joined the IJF I remember Mr Haase telling me how Master Davies had joined for a while but then left and \"stolen all his (meaning Haase\'s) UK members... I do remember ...

I have already started to file all the information that we have posted so far, both in a physical file and also in an indexed word document. Whether we choose to make this available to the ITF or any other interested parties at a future date will be entirely dependant on Mr Haases demonstrable commi...

[quote=\"Maxwell S. Oates\"]Just wondering whether or not Kido Kwan would be interested in joining our Forum. Do you think that the identity disclosure would cause him to not want to do so? It would be good to get all his evidence.[/quote]

Perhaps Albert could invite him?
