What???? Replying to those accusing me of making things up by explaining myself? Who are the nasty ones?

If I/they did that to other posters with no justification, yeah that would be really mean. But speaking for myself, I have been on forums (moderated some too) for 18 years. I know them inside out. I've run my own chat rooms too. I know a fake post/user when I see one. That is not because I am 'nasty'. It is because I have a lot of forum/internet experience.

Perhaps you're just feeling lonely, who knows. I'd much rather have people's time invested in me - the real me - than in some character I've invented. They wouldn't really be giving me their time or attention then, would they.

Shes her sister, not her child, not exactly a realistic option.

She's in her house. It's simple phone or front door (not that it matters given what looks like an interesting development)

I would say the same thing. I'm not a nasty person in real life or on here, but it's actually not that difficult to spot a style of writing, a pattern of posting and a repetition of subject. It would be lovely to be able to take everyone at face value, but life's rarely that simple.

Not sure what's offended you so badly - but yes ignoring may be best. good day

I’d agree. I’ve been moderating a forum for over ten years now and most fakes are obvious

What I do find (sort of) interesting is that there are a couple of posters here who are much more circumspect in the way they post/respond to people who I am pretty sure are fakes as well. Just so much happens to them/they know so much.

Anyone remember the poster a while back whose husband (I think he might have been a binman?) had an affair with 'Margaret'? that was a good one :rotfl:

Wasn't that the poster previously known as Spinkz? Done it as a joke

Least his posts were obviously joke threads for the laughs

For those of us who are or were unaware it is just a complete waste of our time and consideration.

This person is clearly a lonely attention seeker and needs help or is a total idiot thinking they are funny (and they aren't, it is actually quite pathetic, we are not 13year old children on this forum).

Surely there is a better forum for this sort of rubbish - how come the moderators don't do anything about it?

Because there are no moderators on MSE. There are board guides. You have to report posts (I did contact one after the first or second post - way before all the 'keys in a fruitbowl' crap started - not to report, but to say I suspected it would be a repeat fake poster).
