she's a real person who makes things up. that doesn't add up to a fake person. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:32 21
- Well, her being a fake person has been ruled out, her being a person who is a fake hasn't been :) -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 14:33 19
  - I don't even know you people any more. of course she makes things up. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:34 18
    - exactly. - b! Apr 23, 14:39 3
      - As a community of friends I don't think it's normal to look the other way when being lied to. - Stephen Apr 23, 14:43 2
        
        there's doubt and calling out, and then there's what some have done here. - b! Apr 23, 14:49
        
        The thing is not everyone in the community is "friends" - Subversive Apr 23, 14:47
    - What do you mean of course? As if that's normal? (nm) - Stephen Apr 23, 14:37 4
      - I think she means it's obvious from what she's said. -- nm - mara Apr 23, 14:38
      - I mean, I don't think anyone thought everything she said wsa true. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:38 2
        
        Ok. But I don't see how you (not you specifically, but maybe?) can defend her when she continues to do so when she knows how it will be received. -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 14:46 1
        
        I don't know what you mean exactly. I think people are way too hard on her. That doesn't mean I think - loosilu Apr 23, 14:47
    - so someone named stacy making things up is real, someone with a different name who makes up one more thing (the name) isn't. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 23, 14:36 8
      - the rumor (as I understand) is that *someone we already know* was posing as "Stacy". -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:37 7
        
        Right. A lot of people thought it was a long con. nm - Dignan Apr 23, 14:41
        
        there was that, and there was a more generally accepted 'the whole deal can't be real' group. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 23, 14:41
        
        there have been many posts about that here, even some today. -- nm - b! Apr 23, 14:40
        
        I thought that was an offshoot theory. Besides, person/persona/tomato/tomahto - I think the thing is that people generally don't like being lied to - Diva Apr 23, 14:40 2
        
        welcome to the Internet, you know?" -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:40 1
        
        i have different expectations for different places on it. - b! Apr 23, 14:43
        
        Yeah, that was what started the whole dumb thing, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:40
- it does add up to a fake persona. - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 23, 14:33
