If it wasn't so damn obvious, maybe no one owuld notice.

Far crazier shit has happened in this world then the stuff that happens to him. I know it seems like he has a crazy story every week but c'mon, alot of people here give him a hard time. And how do you all know it isnt true?Im not going to get into an argument with everyone, but GPMY is my bud so im not gonna just let everyone shit on him. Give the kid a break, i have crazy shit happen to me, past and present. It doesnt happen all the time but it happens. I could easily post 3-5 threads a week about my life but i choose not to, GPMY comes here and post cuz he needs to get it out.I see alot of people attack him alot and i think everyone just needs to losen up a bit and try to help him. Do you really think he would come here everyday and make stories up just to get a rise out of everyone? I seriously doubt thats the case.

Why not? It's happened many times before. There are people who are pathetic enough to actually make an account (even more than one) just to post outrageous stories or even just to piss people off. This is why you need to take a grain of salt with each story here that seems a more bit out there than most. But how much, if at all, is really up to you.

With that said, I feel it's my personal right to make my own judgement when it comes to people's stories, just as much as who I like and dislike. Perhaps calling Grown a liar here and there may have been a bit far (though it's truly how I feel), but that still doesn't mean I trust or like the guy. Don't get me wrong though, he's not the only one, on and off the board.

And to add with what I said, the same goes with everyone else. I'm more than sure there's at least one person who doesn't like me here for whatever reason, and that's just fine. At least in that sense, they are honest and I appreciate honesty, whether I agree with it or not. So, anyone can tell me anything. The difference with me is, I don't take it so personally that I'd cry about it.

I think I'm fair though. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and hoped that I wouldn't come across another asinine post, but he continued to do so. I'm human, I can only give so many second chances and my patience has a limit. If I don't see change, then I'll come to the conclusion that this behavior is who the person is. Then I'll make my own choice to like the person or not.

Just because you like someone, doesn't mean I should. You like him for your own reasons and I have my own to not like a certain person. Not everyone will get along with everyone, it's a simple fact of life.

I wasnt asking for everyone to be his friend. I just think if people really dont like him or think hes a liar, they dont need to be posting in his threads. All its going to do is cause a bunch of bullshit, and arguements, and fights and the boards dont need it.Its the same concept of "If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all".Maybe hes the biggest fuckin liar in the world. For all i know hes a douchebag, ive only met him online. But if someone (I wasnt trying to single you out star i hope it didnt seem that way) i just mean anyone in general. if you dont like him or think hes a liar then just dont reply to his topics.What good is to to go in his thread and say "Haha bullshit?" its just going to cause fights. And if he really is a liar then thats just feeding his fire. Im giving him the benefit of the doubt just because i truly dont think hes a liar, and maybe he stretches things out to seem like more than they really are, i dont know but until i have proof im not going to say anything.And once again Virtual Star i hope you didnt think i was singling you out. I have no problem with you, and i like you. You have never done anything wrong to me, and i dont want to fight or argue with anyone here. I dont like confrontation and i would rather just try to be cool with everyone.I just had to speak my mind because im very quiet on these boards and ive been here for 3-5 years, and now i think its time for me to start contributing.

Quote:Its the same concept of "If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all".Ironic. I used to say that all the time (I even said it to someone here), until I finally realized that saying whatever we want or feel is a right that everyone has. Though, it's a nasty double-egded sword and I have my own limits.  Quote:(I wasnt trying to single you out star i hope it didnt seem that way)No worries. Anyone can say anything to me.  Quote:if you dont like him or think hes a liar then just dont reply to his topics.What good is to to go in his thread and say "Haha bullshit?" its just going to cause fights. And if he really is a liar then thats just feeding his fire. My reason is because I'm not the type of person to stay quiet (obviously). I'm not trying to be righteous (I'm far from it), this is just who I am. That's probably the easiest way of putting it.  Quote:I just had to speak my mind because im very quiet on these boards and ive been here for 3-5 years, and now i think its time for me to start contributing. Go you.

I think it's good that you are contributing more, MMAfighter90. And I agree with what you say here. It's rare that we can be quite sure if someone is telling the truth or not, and if they are telling the truth and are called a liar (which does happen quite often on boards across the Net), it must be like taking someone who is asking for help and beating them up.Even if it happens that they are in fact lying, telling them so when it is not obvious creates disputes and fights and makes it look as the boards are uncaring and not a good place to post anything personal on.It is surely far better to give people the benefit of the doubt. Some stories here that initially seemed far-fetched have turned out to be true. And if someone is lying but you treat them seriously and respectfully, you haven't lost much.I would also add that I don't believe complexity, especially a mixture of conflicting moods and emotions, indicates lack of reality. It is fictional characters who are most consistent.

All its going to do is cause a bunch of bullshit, and arguements, and fights and the boards dont need it.If all Grown did was lie about some stupid stories he's been thruogh, fine. But when he gives out his bullshit advice to other people, I have a problem. "Hold your shit in, it will make it absorb more nutrients and you'll lose weight". Seriously, wtf.> So, what I'm saying is, I don't think it should be the position of this board to say, "It's OK to lie. We'll just base what we tell you on what you told us last and never challenge you to tell the truth." I agree.

If someone posts BS, then it's OK to call them on it. It's not OK to discredit everything someone says becasue you just don't like them or don't believe them, especially if you have no way to prove otherwise.
