It was lucy who made those particular accusations if i remember correctly. I'm still sad about it.
I can't remember if it was polka or little duck, but one of them said they were on the treadmill at the gym and then everyone on the treadmills spontaneously burst into song together. I do remember thinking that was BS, lol, funny BS, but still BS. I'm just trying to breathe and not fall when I'm running, and everyone has on headphones and is either watching tv or listening to music.
I don't remember that at all. That does sound like a fantastical story, although it sounds like TR and freedom are living proof that it can happen. lol
So many of the people who cry for details and names are the ones who turn around and say... That's so so wrong.
I mean... What?
I just want to reiterate that I wasn't really asking you to divulge gossip in my call out. I was saying that unless you had proof His was grossly faking her cancer, just stop. it's not necessary and hurtful. I don't want you to think I was foaming at the mouth for the goods, and then flipped the script on you mid-thread.
I still love you, mmkay?
Well I didn't think she was faking the cancer. I think I do take the "details" in her posts very lightly.
It was shitty that I called her out on that fact but I was fired up as hell over the other one being called out today and ran with it when I shouldn't have.

Come on now, people weren't asking for receipts in a void here. You said verbatim, "There are receipts." If you have proof about a friend embellishing things, I'm going to ask to see the proof!
I was on the embellishing train. I did back out earlier when I had a screaming baby (she had 2mo shots today) and was having trouble keeping up. She finally passed out and I'm caught up.
I am also sorry for my part in this. I expect better of myself IRL and should practice that here as well. I commit to be better about examining my words and how they may affect others on here and the possible repercussions of my actions. It's easy to say something on here since you aren't staring the other person in the face while saying it, but it still has the same impact. I want to be better at making sure my words don't hurt others needlessly.
On the off chance she hasn't actually read this, maybe we could delete it so she doesn't have to read it? Maybe?
I think this a a good idea.
I think that might have been a possibility if not for Pagas' snotty response in His' thread about her chemo treatment being timely. I would assume that tipped her off to the fact that people were chatting about her.

In the same thread I said go back and read. I never implied I knew anything off board. Like ever.
I'm never saying the word receipt again. Not even when doing returns at target. Lol.

I get the feeling you don't know what receipts means. And that's part of what's gotten you here!
ETA: That's supposed to be question marks, not the emoticon it threw in there.

That was not me.
I didn't go back to read everything. But, His, I am so, so sorry to find out everything you are going through. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. (hug2)

Someone paged His to this thread, this isn't all on me. I take full blame for my shitty comment and i deleted it once I realized there was no actual proof.

pagas deleted that comment. Is my fault some people started turning on her.
Is the dick upthread that TAGGED his in this thread that needs to... Not do stuff like that.
To be clear, I'm still a dick, but that wS a dick move too.

Honestly, because you are so well liked you are completely getting off the hook. You said there are receipts. Compared his to vaba/jlm/Monterey.
I said receipts in her past threads and to go read them.
Yes, I said that vaba, jlm and Monterey were well liked posters with crazy stories who ended up being catfishes. I don't deny that, it's true.

Oh, I tagged.
I'm a firm believer that anyone who is the subject of shittalking has a right to know.

Why the heck would it make me a dick to tag her when she's posting right next to this thread???!!!

For some reason tagging His in a thread separate from the one where she said (paraphrasing) that her first chemo experience was awful feels different to me than directly replying to her looking for sympathy by saying, hey! Your misery is timely. We were just talking about what an exaggerator you are. And the fact that that was the FIRST response in that thread . . . Felt a little smug/gotcha to me.

Your posts feel smug to me.
I get your point, I deleted and I feel terrible about it.

I'm not smug about this one bit. I feel terrible for His. This is fun for no one. And I wasn't taking another swipe at you here, I was explaining why you post felt different than someone tagging His in this post.

Gosh. I remember when I got accused of being a catfish. When those accusations are thrown at you at the worst possible time of your life, it stings, guys. Even from internet strangers. Really shitty things really do happen to people, sometimes multiple really shitty things at once.
Maybe I shouldn't be posting, I rarely do anyway. I just felt like I had to, with being previously wrongfully accused and all.
