I know there are several trolls here. But I've come to the point where it's harder and harder for me to accept alot of the "Korean experiences" I've read here as 100% legit. I've noticed how, even in the course of a thread, posters will change their rhetoric, making the initial story more dramatic or exaggerated. I suspect that many real stories are exaggerated, or that unverified stories heard get retold in the 1st person narrative to substantiate someone's opinion/argument. So c'mon, now, this is your chance to come clean.

Nothing's lamer... unless lying comes easy to you and you think of yourself as a joke... but then again, taking online personalities seriously is beyond lame.

I never have, but then I don't post when I'm drunk.

Please define 'lie' and 'exaggerate'.

Sirfink made me think of an even better poll, "Do you post when your drunk?"

I'm sure it's been done, but it would be interesting to see the results.

I tell the truth 99.99% as pure as Ivory Soap.

How apt given that most of what constitutes a bar of soap is hot air.

Not true!

I lie half the time. (The other half I sit down.)

(The above statement is false.)

A more appropriate question might be "Have you ever told the truth on ESLcafe?"
