If I may ask , what happened to the red dragon thread that was locked ?
Any updates ?

We all did ask him a lot of stuff about Corona too in the Corona thread .

Mods feel free to delete this thread if deemed inappropriate .
 
I actually looked up that thread and I'm not sure why he got so angry when a mod asked him to verify his claim.
He had quite an entourage on this site, whatever he posted always received multiple likes. Now all of them are saying that he was a phony.
 
It’s impressive if he was phony considering everyone flocked to him. Very unusual. And the thing that gave away was a photograph.
 
Just came here for a random visit and noticed that he got banned. :( I guess ignorance is bliss.
If you ever read this, have a good life man wherever you are and whatever you do.
 
What verification did he fail to provide? I mean he lied about being a doctor or what?
He technically never verified anything at all (not just the Dr. part) and if one were observant (as some were) they would notice he took every opportunity possible to pretend an unusual level of intimacy and familiarity out of nowhere (His life was supposedly an open book and all his personal information was apparently already out there on google for anyone to find). "Accidently" embarrassing yourself with confession of private details from the position of vulnerability is merely the flipside of grandiosity. Disruptive tragedies draw people in, not too different from political promises which are fiscally impossible. The illusion of knowledge and familiarity is the same in each case and singularly circular. His response to the Mod was also heightened vulnerability and circular proof, converting the burden of plausibility into unjustified belief in the implausible. What he was doing was not unusual, what is unusual is that the Mod noticed and took action. Praiseworthy and a difficult task. On social media, trying to impose oneself on one's neighbor with tall tales (whether vulnerable or grandiose) is commonplace, most of it's called "sharing" your life with your loved ones. Before Facebook, randomly disclosing Bizzare information or Job updates in the public square would be suspect but now we have confused the private and public, the anonymous and the known together so you can do one thing in the guise of the other.

That said, there is a chance he wasn't making it up, but unfortunately, he didn't take the opportunity to make that clear and the Mod was quite polite to the end.
 
I too hoped there was a remote possibility that there was a genuine miscommunication between him and the mods . But by what I understand , the mods seemed to have given him various opportunities to make his stand crystal clear . Those opportunities were not sadly taken by him .
 
Weren't there few people here who personally knew him ?
Thought he is a fully verified person, got burned out due to mental pressure or something...
Unidan of TE ? :)

We can't confirm what the real thing was with him or any of us for that matter, can we?
If he was able to prove his medical background or not, the fact is the info shared was genreally correct ( though a lot of things even till date ate in development owing to the state of Pandemic) but if he wasn't able to share the relevant info sought by the mod for the proper verification of his suggestions and/or facts then that was that..

But what matters here is that we are on a social platform and the mods have become far more active and vigilant since past 1.5 years, and we all should follow the rules no matter what, yes we will make mistakes but for the forum to be credible and relevant, rules should be followed and facts, shared should be backed up as and when asked by the users or the staff, that's the basic thing, isn't it?

I feel we should move on, he can always create a new I'd and come back and adhere to the guidelines provided or sought by the staff.

We can’t leave it like “that was that”. If he is expressing opinions it’s his right, but when he goes beyond and claims doctor by profession and provides advices/prescriptions etc, and if he can’t provide valid ID to prove his qualification, then it creates legal trouble for forum admins, some could miss proper diagnosis or get treated wrongly.

From my interactions with him on other threads, he never responded like a doctor would. It’s always big paras of broken text with improper sentencing, wordings, etc. and diverging thought process, jumping from one topic to another in the same para.

It’s good that the mods have caught this and took action.
 
I think he is a doctor but other things he wrote were utter bullshit, like him saying "strongest woman of WB personally talked to him and addressed him as last communist alive". Why would she know some doctor from Europe so personally and how he called Pritam and "he admitted to stealing songs".
That doesn't make any sense he is still one of the biggest music composer of India, there is no reason for him to confess that to a kid he hardly knew 30-40 years over a video call.

Must have got a huge thrill when shit like this went unchallenged. That why he probably kept coming back for more. Classic con-man. Most of the time I just TLDR his long replies apart from the first few during covid times where he did share good resources to understand it better, but I guess you could get those on reddit if you spent some time there and just share it onwards to others.

I guess this one time with Cray Eddy the lies were simple enough that you could actually verify them. He knew the gig was over right then, thats probably why he got so angry. He had gotten away for far too long.
 
Cannot believe one would pose as a doctor not being one. Lmao. I even DMed him, asking for medical advice. Well, nothing new from my perspective anyway, all are fraudulent/pretentious at the end of the day. Funny thing now is how few other frauds, as seen above, are now discussing about him, another fraud, but of course, right? :rofl:

I believe that's what I meant, isn't it?????
He may be qualified or not, he may suggest or not, but if he claims he is something especially a Dr then upon inquiry he should have furnished the details.. If he can't then it was correct to ban it..

We should move on, the guy is gone, he can always come back with a different I'd or if he can furnish details and if he was not too offensive or abusive ( I dunno why he said to the mod) then may be his profile can be unbanned by the staff of they find it appropriate.


Again let's move on...
