What to do…

In this post I name the person that a WHOIS returns as the owner of a splog domain. Here are the emails:
Me: http://ideahustle.com
Why are you stealing?
Him: I’m sorry, what?
That hasn’t been my domain for several years now.
M: “Several years”
It was created 1 year ago.
Whatever, I’ll report the domain as being falsely registered which will remove it for longer.
H: it looks like the domain is down anyway but have at it. I’ll let the guy I sold it too know what’s up.
So he is saying it is not his. But the WHOIS does. So should I believe him and remove his name from that post, or call him a liar by leaving it there? I can’t prove it either way and neither can he - the only evidence is the one thing.
My options:
1. Remove the whole post. This is not a choice I will make.
2. Remove his name. Possibly.
3. Add ‘allegedly’ in strategic places to that entry.
No idea yet.
(And I have no clue how to report false registration details. I just lobbed it in there).

Me: Your car was just used to kill a group of disabled nuns…
Him: I sold that car years ago.
M: It was brand new last year.
H: I’ll… uhm… tell the guy I sold it to you’re looking for him.
I like the “allegedly” plan.
