Suburban Express defends itself against BHARAT PONNALURI

University of Illinois Senior living in ISR (undergraduate dorm)

aka reddit user Gulugawa and wikipedia user Gulugawa

Bharat has provided his personal information on Wikipedia and Reddit
more than once.

Bharat seems to be obsessed with Suburban Express. We're not sure why,
particularly since he has never purchased a Suburban Express ticket.
Yet, he obsessively posts derogatory messages about Suburban Express,
and seems to claim that everyone who disagrees with him is a
representative of Suburban Express.

But don't take our word for it, have a look at Bharat's posting history
on Reddit:

Bharat Ponnaluri aka Gulugawa (4.2 mb)

Then ask yourself, who has time to post so many messages online - about
anything?

Bharat on LinkedIn

On October 8, 2013, Bharat Ponnaluri entered the Suburban Express office
and dropped off a purple poster that he was apparently putting up around
campus. Later in the day, we noticed this online:

Bharat's Reddit Thread About Purple Posters

Bharat's behavior on Reddit was apparently lampooned by The Black Sheep:

Bharat's Black Sheep Article

Incredibly, Bharat didn't take the hint and zip his lips. To the contrary,
he has continued to make a fool of himself on Reddit.

Bharat seems to like to use multiple personalities to make it appear that
his position has more supporters than it does. For instance, SushiandFish
and GokuBlocks seem to visit Reddit only when Bharat's main personality,
Gulugawa, is having a rough time.

In June 2014, after engaging in non-stop attacks on Suburban Express for
over a year, Bharat went whining to the BBB, asking them to cause us to
remove this very page. Bharat would prefer that his social media attacks
stand, but that our defense be muted. Here's
Bharat Ponnaluri's BBB Complaint

Lately, Bharat has been trying to re-brand himself. First, he deleted his
reddit user Gulugawa and replaced it with UnknownOrange.
Then, he submitted a Name Change Request on Wikipedia,
for the specific purpose of covering his tracks. What's next, Bharat? Are
you going to change your real name, like Finnicum did?

Other online aliases:

BetterBusService and more

On wikipedia: Special Purpose Account Gulugawa
tried to change it to OneWhiteYakinator ~8/20/14

Update 12/23/14:

Bharat's new user, GuluOne, spent the past few months obsessively posting
messages to AskReddit in order to collect a big enough pile of fairy dust
(karma) to make himself feel like a real human being. Most of his other
messages were looney rants and paraniod comments about Suburban Express. Here
they are:

GuluOne Posting History

Then, all of a sudden, user GuluOne was deleted. It's gone.

God only knows where Bharat will pop up next. Rest assured, the little weasel
will return.

...and he's back. By his own admission, GuluOne was suspended by reddit for
TOS violations. Apparently, little Bharat was revealing personal information
of other posters. Bad Bharat. Bad. Go to your room.

Update 8/28/15

Bharat is back. Today, he's cross-posting Facebook messages to Reddit and visa
versa. We thought this guy finally discovered that there is life beyond his
keyboard, but we were wrong. He's still apparently holed up in his parents'
basement or wherever he has his dungeon.

Confirmed:

"GuluOneAlum, CS 3 points 5 hours ago*
Looks like Suburban Express is paying attention to this thread.

I created /u/BetterBusService as a throwaway, so that Dennis would have issues tracing it back to me. However, Dennis somehow knows me well enough to immediately suspect me."
