The difference is, in real life, you're face to face with the people you are talking to. You get to see their mannerisms and how they react to questions immediately and with no editing or thinking. And it's always a group of good old boys that have known each other for a while and know when people are pulling their legs. Even the new guys pick up on the old guys laughing or trying not to laugh every time one of them makes some outrageous claim. Basically, the people know each other and are able to discern real from fake.

But the internet is different. People make boasts and claims with no proof to back them up. No tell tale laughing and snickering from the peanut galary. No car in front of them they can go look at. No way to get any sort of proof.

So then this guy comes in making completely outrageous claims. I challenged him about these claims because on the internet, there are tons of people who don't know what's what, are just getting started, or are just looking for more ideas. They don't have to be part of the group. They don't have to post anything. It's like the good old boys were broadcasting their dribble all around the world for anyone who wanted to could listen in on the conversation. Except they don't know who is telling the truth, who is exagerating, and who is flat out lying.

Dr. Buddha has done both exagerate and flat out lied. But refuses to fess up or provide any proof of his bold and (to knowledgable people) obviously false claims. But to the newbies, they wouldn't know whether to believe him or not. I mean, if he says he did it, and no one said otherwise, it must be true, right?

And that is why I chose to make the comments I did. Not because I have anything personal against Dr. Buddha (I don't), but because I don't want someone else reading what he wrote and believing that crock of lies, exagerations, and not even half truths.
