Sounds like paranoia to me...and yet, it doesn't really matter to me if people make shit up on the internet. For them to have posted it, it's on their mind I can respond or not respond. If it's funny and obvious I might say something about it being false, but otherwise I'm going to assume people are being honest because it really doesn't have an affect on me either way.
I am pretty much the same online as I am offline. I see no point in bullshitting here or anywhere. I make no secret about my activity here, my wife and kids know about it and my username, my friends do also, so what would be the point? If I started spinning bullshit yarns, I would soon be called out for it. Here the most often encountered bullshit stories are in the sex threads and the psychedelic threads; "I took 73 hits of acid, smoked an ounce of mushrooms and then fucked 14 girls at the same time." ya know, those kind of stories, usually posted by someone with 2 posts.
Sites like this are really really searchable. Might as well be Facebook when it comes to privacy. This site must have a crazy google rating. I know I'm not the only one that's googled something strange and ended up with a hit from Hip. Now I also go to a private forum set up by a friend and it's tight. I don't mind sharing more deep shit there. Ain't nobody finding what i say there without some effort and skill.
I usually see right thru it and they know it but it's cool (IRL)...I don't tend to throw a lot of bullshit around, I'll either tell u about something or I won't talk about it at all.
speaking of bullshit...... along with other posts, this guy has done EVERYTHING...literally. the aliens are gonna come for you if you keep up the bullshit
