You haven't looked very hard, then. I have picked up pages of his post history randomly and I do see posts written in Greek. On
page 51, or
this one from May 2013, at the beginning of his post history. And I haven't looked very hard, so I'm sure there are many, many more.
Ah, that serves me right for posting well past my usual sleep time

Is this a joke or what? Are we going to ask for KYC now to prove ownership of bitcointalk accounts? Face calls? If he severed his relationship with the OP for some reason, maybe he suddenly doesn't feel like talking to him for the same reason he stopped talking to him.
No we do not need to ask anybody for KYC to
prove their identity and if he has severed his relationship with the OP and decides to not provide an explanation that is for him. What concerned me after reading the OP was recalling an account not that long ago seemed to have been traded and signing a message to demonstrate ownership was part of the deal.
Let us not forget, he signed a message from a known address, that means if the account was sold/purchased the known address was part of the deal just as many sales include nowadays.
How do you know this? As far as I know signing a message has always been considered the strongest way to prove ownership of a bitcointalk account
I do not know, that is why I stated "if". The part I should have worded differently was the "all available evidence" part.
Nobody should ever have to "commit to ID verification" here, that's creepy.
Yes it is but in this instance I think the OP was stating he was concerned by he was being avoided with someone he was on those types of terms with. And with that along with the return after inactivity no doubt made the OP concerned.
He has mentioned "Greece" dozens of times in his posting history:
I have no idea how I missed it. I should have been in bed by that time, I hold my hand up because I got that one wrong. I was wrongly under the impression he was from the same country as the OP.
Additionally, threatening people with negative tags if they don't respond to your inquiry - as you have done with your neutral trust - is not cool. Nobody should have to provide anybody with additional information about themselves. Its on you as an investigator to find the information yourself. In this instance, it was quite easy to do.
I am sending him a PM to apologise. As mentioned above by someone else, of he no longer wishes to interact with the OP that is a decision for him. He has signed a message from a known address therefore he does not need to do anything else.
