the WTF happened post

Well, gullible might have been too strong a word to use. Some are gullible, sure, but I'm sure others offered their sympathies because they don't have the balls to say "I smell bullshit", they think it's bullshit, but in the back of their mind, they're like "I could be wrong."

Maybe, I guess it could be that some people aren't sure, and in case they are wrong don't want to offend, which seems nice, don't you think? Like I said, I don't have any real reason to doubt it. Though you didn't quite answer my question, do you think everyone that does believe it and is not thinking "I smell bullshit" is gullible, cause I just don't see how it is so obvious that it must be a lie, you know?

Gullible, more trusting, whatever. Less experience with internet bullshit than I.

But perhaps you are wrong, no? Couldn't it be just as well that your "experience" has made you mistrusting and jaded even in the face of genuineness?

Unless you did know this person when they posted here it certainly does apply here.

I'm an optimist in all aspects of life, most anyway, except when it comes to, well, stuff like this.

Jaded? Lulz, nah, hardly jaded. What has happened, the experiences I speak of, well, I'd rather not share.

But you have no evidence to suggest as to why this person is lying or any proof this person has lied in the past on here. You could be a bser as well. The point is as posters we all more or less rely on our gut instincts and in a case with no evidence as to doubt the person I see no reason in calling bs unless there is evidence or a history of lying.

So if every fiber of your being tells you that someone is full of shit, but you cannot prove it, you assume they are not full of shit?

You're right, I could be wrong. Doubt it though.

I'm not saying you are, I'm just saying that for a bystander either of those sides could be just as possible. Well, we don't have to agree on the subject, I can understand why people might feel defensive when they are called gullible, and why you are defensive when you are called a troll.

I've seen shit like this too many times, seen it proven bullshit most of the time. One thing I have learned in life is to always go with my gut. When I do, most of the time I benefit. When I don't, I always, without fail, pay the price. My gut tells me the OP is a fabrication.

I am saying it's up to you to come to that choice but since I am a positive person and give people the benefit of the doubt I choose to believe otherwise. You tend to think otherwise though claim to be a half glass full kinda guy.

But without evidence against it you tend to not trust people as opposed to trusting them so in this regard you're a pessimist.

I also claimed to be an optimist in most aspects of life, just not cases like this.

Ok, so I was right about you in this topic.

Originally posted by Rogue Jedi
On cases like this, yes, you're right. Not about how I view life/reality in general, though.

I thought you meant she was being gullible. I apologise for my vehemence. But I'm sure you expected someone to say something, because, as usual, you're trying so hard to disagree with the majority and look cool and original or some shit. Boring yawn

K, so you and ten of your friends are out and about, doing whatever. You see a "person", looks like a woman, but it's obvious to you it's a tranny.

Your friends are all 100% convinced it is a genuine woman, born that way, and they lose interest. Do you agree with them, or do you call them all crazy and point out that it is obviously a tranny?

2 things about that, a) you are very condescending in the way you portray your opposing belief b) you are saying it in a thread made by the person which she might see again.

So, would I say to my friends I thought the person might be a transsexual? Yes, maybe. Would I drag them over to said person and proclaim to her face "THIS PERSON IS AN UGLY TRANNY, AND EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T THINK SO IS A COMPLETE MORON", no, probably not.

Drag the tranny over? haermm How the hell did you get that out of my post?
