Nope. To be a "liar", one must be telling something one knows to be untrue. Maybe, just maybe, there is the occasion that something walking like a duck, quacking like a duck, and having a crazy-ass giant spiral you-know-what like a duck is not a duck, but most of the time it is a duck. My very sincere, heartfelt belief is that your quacking is genuine. If, by some chance, that isn't true, then I am mistaken, but not a liar.

Edited to add-- the wording of this post is not all mine-- it was pointlessly edited by Nate to remove a proper medical term (which is used many times in this forum, according to search results.) I disclaim the bowdlerization.

Are you sure this is not just a pretext to get avian porn on to Mobileread

Firstly, heh. Secondly, it's amazing how many people don't get the name reference, and thirdly &biteme, I have no tolerance for scams.

I'd have to disagree there.

If you put something online for the world to read -- a blog, say -- you have to expect people to read it. If it's searchable, you have to expect people to search for it. And this is the Web, where the fundamental concept is linkage; you have to expect people to link to it. You can't insist that people you're talking to in one place pretend you only exist in that place and not read the things you've posted in some other place. That's kind of the whole point of it being the Web.

A basic rule of Web survival: If there's something you wouldn't want your mother, your boss, or your spouse to see, don't put it online. The odds are, one of them will.

In a more general sense, if there's something you'd be ashamed for people to know you've said, don't say it.

And if there's anything of which the misuse could cause you harm in real life, for the love of God don't put it somewhere that anyone on the planet with a computer can read it.

You're wasting your time. Velcro_SP is the person who thinks mobileread should be sued for even mentioning bad things about Cherrypal. He also takes every little comment as a 'flame'. (Obviously never seen a real flame; these forums are very tame and mild-mannered.)

Oh, he's just looking for a little fisticuffs. (Link deleted due to Velcro_SP whining to moderator, even though he had deleted the facebook page anyway-- you really want to hid behind a veil of anonymity, don't you?)

Care to share with the rest of us? Or is it...
