To Tell The Truth

I really enjoy reading some of the topics and subsequent responses. Many of you offer interesting insight and commentary to this little corner of the internet. Some of you are actual trained medical professionals and some have really done your homework regarding protocol, exams, tests, procedures and what not. Something I have learned through reading these submissions is do not lie. This is a very smart room and if you are going to lie there is a high degree of probability you will be questioned, caught and your lies will be exposed. This is not a mean spirited or cynical place by any stretch of the imagination at all but it is visited by very intelligent and knowledgable persons so I advise anyone who is going to lie about an experience at least conjur up a good lie. Think before you post.

Yes, please. People here don't hesitate to call bullshit, especially when it's obvious.

Folks, if you're here, you're on the interwebs, where the totality of human knowledge is at your fingertips. Use a search engine to do 30 seconds of research. Either that or post fantasies as such, not in a thread on real medical stories or information.

Thinking of the posted battles on voy forum, it is with relief that I can come, by contrast, to zity and not have them waging. Yes, because folks here know whereof they post, it's real, thoughtful, engaging. Yes, working through the cracks, there are some posts which might elicit a smell to the sensitive nose, but, honestly? don't they waft enough to be ignored ? Or fed? I would bet that, if so, they will move along.

"And the people said,...AMEN!"

i, too, appreciate the level of intellect here, and thoroughly enjoy posting and reading. i am not sure if all of the people who post realize what they are posting is fantasy. They may live in a different world than we do, and believe it.. As one character on Cheers once said, turning to his barmate,.. "What color is the sky in YOUR world?"

However, to the others, I agree with the previous posters,.. Get some knowledge, get some integrity, or get out!

Jds4med hit the nail on the head. When it is obviously BS it will be called BS. You let the smaller things go. Sadly there are delusional people in this world who claim the color 9 tastes like radio waves.

I also dislike BS but I don't think people post it with malevolent intent. I think most of the bullshitters think the majority of the members are into fantasy, which I view as BS.

Yes, I am that funny and I think there is a small percentage of posters who may not realize there is a section of the website to post their fiction. I am ok with that. Ever read HM2014's bs story about his presence during an all female flight attendant recruitment physical? The color 9 does in fact taste like radio waves.

It's relatively easy to scan a thread and, if your eyes are open, determine if the flavor is fantasy or reality. Many of these fantasy posts can be ignored, but two things make that difficult. One is when people are exchanging information about real medical issues and someone interjects fantastic nonsense. The other is when they get defensive about that nonsense.

Either way, it's disruptive to the flow of information. If you want to fantasize, go for it, but label it as such, then don't defend your nonsense.

I would not trust medical advice here as they good people are talking about their preferences, not dispassionate facts. Since we will never meet, I suppose there is no harem in telling real stories,

I like telling more humourous ones, or things that happened that on retrospection, were silly or can be learned from or laughed at. (don't do this because……) But mainly I have found that what what I prefer, I am not alone , that feels 100% better. less guilt, a bit less shame.

No, actually it tastes like chicken. :-)
