58. I count at least 5 responses that insinuate you're lying in your OP
I don't have any reason to doubt your story, but for some reason, there are at least 5 respondents to your OP who don't believe you're telling the truth. Let me state this plainly: unless there's someone in this thread who personally knows you and has knowledge of your doings, NO ONE in this thread knows whether you're telling the truth or not. That holds true for every thread on DU that recounts a personal story without links to back it up. So, what do these 5 people know about you that the rest of us don't know? Answer: nothing--they're just dickheads.
Progressiveinaction (112 posts), in post #14 says: "I totally believe this happened". Let's not mince words. This new person is calling you a liar. I actually just self-deleted my reply to this person, not because he didn't deserve every bit of invective I threw at him, but because I don't want to be locked out of this part of the thread, what I'm typing now. so Progressiveinaction, take a bow. You're new here, but feel comfortable enough already to call long-time posters liars. I won't be the only one watching you.
Larrymoecurlyshemp (58 posts), in post 42, a reply to progressiveinaction, above, says, "Me too". Congratulations, stoogeboy, for calling one of our long-term members a liar on your 8th day here. Marked.
Zappaman (lots of posts) in post #27 says: "Cool story Bro!". Of course, he also said that in response to a different person with the exact same text. It could be that he's got a tragic condition that limits him to 10th grade phraseology. Or he could be calling you (and another person) a liar. Or he could be trying to convince you that your story is so dull that he's just bored stiff. In any case, zappaman may be snarking you, or this may be all he's capable of. Please don't ever confuse this person with the real and worthwhile Frank Zappa.
To round out our field, both Honeycombe8 and someone named Nine suspect your story is not true. You've already spoken to them about this; enough said.
Do any of you 5 have enough fortitude to step right up and explain why you think DB here is a liar? Do you have information we don't have? Do you have what GW Bush called his "gut" feeling? Are you just guessing, and you also happen to think character assassination is ok? There needs to be a high bar set before people start calling long-time DU'ers liars. There needs to be cause. And there should be consequences for this type of rude and antisocial behavior. Rule of thumb: if it will get you punched in the mouth for saying it in person, you probably shouldn't be saying it on the Internet either, brave heroes.
Found this too funny to not bring over.
The primitives are full of bouncys, like this one by the appropriately named brain damaged primitive. This primitive above comes along and tries to scold others for mocking what is an obvious lie. Boo Hoo Hoo. Even goes so far as to throw "invective" at one of them before self-deleting, not because she didn't want to say what she said, but because she didn't want to get locked out of the thread so she could say something else she wanted to say even more. And then it makes the statement of "don't say anything on the internet you wouldn't say in person," which if enacted, would eliminate virtually everything the primitives have to say on the island. My guess is that if the DisgustinginCA primitive had said what she said to the Progressiveinaction to his face, she'd have eaten her teeth shortly thereafter. The irony is thick.
Hey primitives, I'd love to say what I say here to your faces. Thing is after a decade I still can't seem to run into all these confrontations you continue to report about. Please speak up at your local Target, Costco, grocery store, etc... when able. I look forward to it.
