There are 3 forms of prevarication. In increasing order of iniquity, they are:
lies
damned lies,
and statistics.
One should always evaluate the messages of others without assuming they are either correct or informed. Trust but verify.

"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
I don't see why most anyone would bother to lie in a forum. Where's the benefit? Why even do it? The closest thing to what I might call a "lie" would be when people deliberately take extreme positions to spark controversy. And that's more like vaudeville than a straight-up falsehood.
Depends on the person. There's really no gain in lying on an internet forum, but not everybody knows that![]()
I think the majority of people here are pretty honest, though.
I trust most folks here. So far there has been a few confirmations of frauds (plagerism of pictures and such) but mostly the folks here are honest.
