Shirl's question made me think....

To jump off of Shirl's question.... I now wonder how many people have created a false persona on here. ( I don't mean the multiple identities) Obviously the anonymity creates opportunities for people to lie. I feel that I am basically as true to myself on here as one can be.

If people stretch the truth, how far do you think they go on a site like this one? And what is the point? This is not a dating or sales site, so why engage in subterfuge?

I know what you mean,ET...there are some on here who seem,shall i say ,inconsistant.....they will present themselves differently-ie-'facts' about their lives which seem contradictory, according the which 'topic' they are posting on. I find that worrying, as i wonder whether any of what they say is true?

Ice.Maiden

I don't bother to analyse what people say really. I know who's telling the truth by what they say to me privately - but then again, we all have our own lives to lead away from AB, and I don't really bother if people use different names on here, so long as they're respectful to others. x
