According to sources, and as evidenced in numerous places on the web, Ryan Flynn has introduced himself to people as a "doctor", or at the very least allowed other people to assume it and not correct them on their mistake.
Ryan had clearly used the Gmail address dr.flynn.r@gmail.com, at some point suggesting "dr" was just a nickname given by people, and later flat out denying that he had anything to do with the name or the email account. The emphatic claim made on the White Orchid Foundation WordPress blog/site:
We would also like to state, he does not operate under the email of dr.flynn.r@gmail.com and does not claim to be a Dr.
We hope this clears things up.

It only makes sense that Ryan would want to distance himself from the use of that email address, or the alleged fraud in pretending to be a doctor, but the particular wording here is curious. Ryan could quite validly claim this to be a true statement (and hence not lying about it), if he does not (anymore) use the address, nor claim to be a doctor, even if he had done so in the past.
