Lying on an internet forum?

Did anyone ever establish the facts from fiction? LOL. Motors was getting good at the Witch Hunts too...

As for lying, politicians and journalists put a "spin" on things all the time so why shouldn't we expect people on internet forums where there are less consequences. It really does suck though.


Dear Mr. Kelly

Thank you for contacting BMW Customer Information.

We also confirm that we have not been advised that this option is likely to become available.

its been part of internet communities for as long as I can remember.

its been part of life for as long as I can remember.

people will always lie, embelish or exaggerate stories, be it on an internet forum or in real life.

why do you seem suprised?

Fraid not. Everything I've said on this forum is a lie, I don't live in Windsor either, I have never left Ireland in my life.


Owell you lies still amke me laugh :p



i know you not lieing
 
Was Oracle the one who claims to own a 535 with SMG?

"portable Sun" was another..

there was also that chap who whenever taking a picture just so happened to have huge wads of cash getting in the way all the time..

But then there are cases where the person in question turns out to not be lieing and the witchhunters try to save face :rolleyes: such as Gun9 and his uber Nova.

He claimed to have taxen a test drive in a manual E60 BMW 535d. These don't exist so his report and pictures were all a bunch of crap. He decided to rectify this by saying something along the lines of "If you don't believe me that's your problem" and stopped posting. I think he's banned for some reason now.
 
So far on this forum there has been Tom, portable sun, the stig and oracle as far as im aware and been here. All have been really good fun to read but still why. OK I can understand people telling the odd white lie to make convo more interesting but building a fake life on an internet forum is just plain weird lol
 
When I did event security up at Ally Pally, I worked with a guy who constantly lied. He drove this (despite getting the bus to work), went on holiday to there, met whoever, when he was out drinking.

His gf was also a model, been on the cover of vogue and all that. She turned up to meet him one night, she was no more Vogue cover girl than I am. My mate Ronnie asked Mark, "What does she model? Balaclavas?" The look on his face was priceless. :D
 
I got accused of lying on another forum before, I just laughed and let him carry on thinking that. If someone doesn't believe me then I'm not going to sit and argue about it.

He did however lie at first about the specs and a few other things, but it did appear he had a decent nova in the end.

Decent and Nova just cant be used in the same sentence together :eek:
