user7141: I saw this question and realized that there is more to this than a LOL moment.
Fat, white American Buddha Maitreya the Christ

As a Buddhist community we can easily see what the point of this person (the imposer) is. And it is no opinion based statement to call this man a lair as we all know that this has nothing to back it's claims and as to any school of Buddhism this is a lie.

So my questions are.....
Shouldn't we edit the question more appropriately and answer it with some seriousness as this person seems to be harming two religions at the same time?
Shouldn't we reach out as a community against this butchering of Buddhism in other places like social media (We can easily link our point of views from all schools of Buddhism with the help of our friends here)?

If you think i'm wrong for saying this i would like to remind you of that moment when a monk said "We are free from that great sage,now we can do whatever we want" while Lord Buddha was living the last moments of his great life.The other monks did not stood by, they gathered and had the first Buddhist council (Dharma sangayana) to counter the corrupting factors of any kind.
What i see is an equal event where vigilance is needed. There is no debate over what this imposer needs. What we have here is not an occasion to laugh but a chance to show the world who Buddhists are and what Buddhism & teachings of Buddhism really are.

If someone want to talk about freedom of speech here and say that it is OK to let this guy expand his little cult i like to propose that person read this.
The reason for the first Buddhist council

I would like to invite our friends here to use their contacts on social media & be vigilant to fight these kinds of cults that has formed. Laugh at this and just chill out if you want but before you do that i would like to point out that millions of innocent Muslims are at a threat as of now in almost every continent because they failed to denounce the little cults that formed claiming to be Islam's, look at what those cults have done now. Their brutality has taken world to a such a misunderstanding in which every Muslim has become a person of interest for the society.
We ignore this guy today but tomorrow another one or two will appear, who knows what these guys are preaching.
Finally what i have to say as a descendant of Sinhalese,we fought for centuries to protect the teaching, everyone from indians to chinese to english to Portuguese wanted to capture my country and destroy the religion if my ancestors said LOL and moved on the world would not have tipitaka today
So if you claim to be a Buddhist,put your money where your mouth is and fight for what you stand for because today the fight is not with blood and sword it is with a functioning mind that sees.

user254:

I'm not really keen on reading (nor on people posting) "rants", on that or any other topics: i.e., firmly-held, fixed opinions which are disguised as questions.

There is no debate over what this imposer needs.

Perhaps that means that there's no useful question to be asked.

What we have here is not an occasion to laugh but a chance to show the world who Buddhists are and what Buddhism & teachings of Buddhism really are.

Perhaps we should do that with Q+A about "what Buddhism & teachings of Buddhism really are".
If you think that this person isn't Buddhist, maybe for that reason it becomes off-topic on the site.
See also previous topics, What can be done about fake monks? and Real Monk vs Fake Monk.
I don't much want to use the site as a platform for dismissing people who we think aren't sufficiently orthodox/Buddhist.
Some comments like that exist elsewhere on the internet already, and there's no need for such "discussion" on this site. If you created a new topic for everyone you reckon has dubious lineage, doctrine, or morals, that would be a more-or-less endless supply of flamebait.
