How honest do you think people are on DU?
 
Do you generally take what people say here at face value?

This is a research topic all in itself isn't it?

Considering most of the members are moles....


Not very honest at all, since they are unable to post as themselves without being banned.

38. It actually amazes me how much people reveal about themselves here.
   
Not sure how much is fiction, but most of the posters with whom I am familiar seem genuine.

There's another one of those stalkers I heard about.

Shit dog, I can list a few names we know aren't honest.

1. Stinky The Clown (aka Ol' Fred Sanford)

2. Lynn The Dim

3. Melanie the death row lover

4. Horse With No Brian
