Very few Japanese people speak any kind of English at all. With hindsight it does seem far fetched that some “Japanese” fella on a message board would be that good at it. Not impossible but far fetched. I’m inclined to agree it was an alias who assumed the “otaku” (?) nerd persona as part of his schtick. I might be misunderstanding you here, but are you really saying the concept of a Japanese guy with basic English (surely not that unheard of) posting on a music forum is more far-fetched than an english guy pretending to be Japanese for many years, with no real apparent purpose or point? It's not just his written English, his English comprehension would have to be decent enough to read what everybody else was saying unless why bother browsing in the first place? If he was Japanese then surely he would be better off using message boards populated by Japanese nerds no? Why do people do things on the internet? I dunno. Maybe it was a joke in the beginning that they just carried on with.

Neither of us know for sure of course, but I was on BCB much earlier than you so saw his English develop over the years from very basic to passable (and not the sort of comedy pigeon English people usually use when imitating 'foreigners speaking English). It makes sense to me.

Fair enough. Mattyredsox lived in Japan though but did he confirm it or not? Not on the board as far as I know. As I said before it was a Chinese whisper style rumour, which is why I think someone might have got the wrong end of the stick at some point.

Was Slider as creepy in person as he seemed to be on BCB? Some of the stuff he came out with about women was.....yeah. One i vaguely remember was fetch me her unclothed and unwashed, or something like that. I know he's probably all talk but still. He had a persona like others did. I've heard only good things about him in person.

He's a good lad, yeah. Just occasionally he'd get nasty - but then I suppose we all do that. Even me! 😮
