Wtf, why would anyone care who someone is or how "mentally stable" he is. If I care about what someone has to say, I can put it in context by myself by looking up his work (github, available resumes etc.). If I were to invest in his company or something, I'll do a proper background check on him myself. Some people like/need a degree of anonymity and the ability to reinvent themselves periodically until they find a "sweet spot" in life. You're way too aggressive about him, which could only suggest a past encounter that resulted in bad business or maybe some personal grudge.

If you think the guy is talking about things he doesn't know enough just say "take care people, he is pretending to be an expert on X but he isn't!" or something equivalent, professionally, don't go ad hominem on someone just because he may be weird and wacky or even stupid...

I've met guys way smarter than me that were way beyond "mentally unstable" (in a bad way!) and I don't respect their work or their ideas less because of this. And I don't know this guy, he may just be a crackpot, but it's just annoying to find this kind of attack as a top comment.

I have a hobby of keeping an eye on and occasionally critiquing 'cult of personality' types who build cults and scam their members. I am passionate about it, however I've never had contact with Mr. Bogue.

I believe the guy is dangerous. Take it as you will.

I can respect that you do not like what Bogue does/writes, but decrying someone you do not even know personally as mentally unstable/ill is simply presumptuous in my book. Such a harsh accusation should be backed up by hard evidence, and probably better made in private rather than shouting it all over the internet.

Your posts very much shine a light on your mental outfit as much as the guy you're decrying as being dangerous and mentally ill.

My 2c. Take it as you will.

If you're right the warning may be deserved, and I definitely wouldn't pay for any of his books, but calling someone like him "dangerous" means you've never dealt with really dangerous people :)

Actually, I took attention to this mainly because I'm researching the whole "personal branding" thing, but boy he's doing it wrong.
