Basically, Steph's posts are the FIRST posts that I read--What can I say, I love a good novella.

When someone is new and young to our community I will give them a big benefit of the doubt unless they are being an asshole or in any way shape or form seem they are potentially dangerous or could potentially harm others. I would rather be wrong out of kindness than drum someone out of our community.

If she is lying about how much weight she can lift, or whether she plays on a football team, etc the only person she hurts is herself. I don't like lying or liars but this isn't something that is going to hurt me or anyone else here. If she is lying about anything I do hope she learns from her mistakes.

I know people who have died, been raped, severally beaten, had lots of money bilked from them and other harsh, cruel things based on lies and other deceptions over the internet. Some of it I have seen first hand.

So y'all go ahead with your "Welcome" Wagon.

I hear what you're saying, and I must say, we spend a lot of time achieving authentic space, here. Most of us really put ourselves out 'there' and it's unfortunate, however amusing, to manipulate this medium to play out any non-consensual fantasy life.

LOL, non-consensual fantasy life. Really? Well when I read things that I don't believe I roll my eyes and move on.

I have enjoyed quite a few of your one liners over the years but haven't seen a whole lot of in-depth sharing. I must have missed those posts.

You are quite funny at times though. Loved that bold for emphasis. I caught the little inside joke.

I give as much eyeroll to the responders who are supposedly concerned for Stephie's health. Do you really think someone who is a PhD candidate from MIT, plays football, has the most amazing girlfriend on the planet, and can out lift most human males needs advice on healthy body fat statistics? I highly doubt it.

As to the original post, I see it as a thinly veiled self-congratulatory slap on the back / ego boost, bordering on bragging, which I find as unappealing as 3% body fat.

Smirks-Sorry you saw it as stealth bragging. NOT my intention at all. ANd I appreciate all the kind words in this thread about me.

And I'm sorry you felt that it needed an entire thread dedicated to it. If it was merely a passing thought, you could have just posted it in one of a dozen other threads. If not, then please do clarify what your intention was.

i know i was gonna unsubscribe but right after posting that i forgot about it. so i clicked back on this thread to catch up before unsubscribing because i also have no impulse control. the only thing that came of it is that i now have someone on my 'ignore' list. dont know why. i didnt used to be such a wimp. huh. must be getting old. seems like i can actually tolerate human posturing and harmless stupid more than i can venom.

She is WAY past "bordering on bragging"! Poor thing, she just can't help herself. Bless her heart. I now look forward to more of her super awesomeness as purely entertainment.

I keep checking the gallery for Steph's picture.

Not to be mean.

I'm just super nosy and have zero impulse control.

This right here makes me uncomfy, as does the veiled bless her heart. It makes me grit my teeth cause I KNOW that kind of back handed southern talk disguised as honeyed words.


So not fucking ok.

I'm sorry it makes you uncomfy, not my intention. Nothing veiled or back handed about it. I truly feel sorry for her and my words were not "honeyed". I'm hoping she gets a clue and maybe even realizes that it's ok to be yourself, including flaws and all.

Of course you are! No one could be that funny if they weren't.

ditto. random public conversation about someone's character is a bummer. if someone has a beef with me i always hope they'll just come at me directly and say 'listen f*ckwit. i gotta problem wit you. let's talk it out.' i'm not a timid little bunny but calling someone someone out as a liar in a thread for something as inconsequential as whether or not they live up to their description of themselves gives me the squickies.

i'm not advocating lying or letting someone get away with lying when we're talkin public safety, the wellbeing of those who are easily exploited, area 51, and etc. i'm sayin that it really doesnt matter if Steph is lying about herself or not because if she is lying then the only person who's gonna be disappointed about the reality of things is Steph. no one needs to build a flashing neon sign and throw glitter at it. lying becomes apparent on its own and ends up reaping an appropriate 'reward' in the long run. (we've all been down that road at least once in life) if Steph is embellishing then Steph pays the price. no one loses a million dollars, no one bursts into flame, no one's birthday gets taken away. if you think a person's posturing is out of the ordinary for most human behavior then the worst thing you can do to them is pay no attention.
