How much do you trust people on Forums?

[Martyr]

When I played Starcraft on B-Net, I said I was 1200 years old, my name bas Blue-Crab, I had a sexual orientation that would be confusing to most humans, and that my closest living relative was dead.
(SPOILER)Didn't fool anybody

I support Devil Man's childish quest for online amusement and dream of creating a new and insane virtual identity in an effort to escape from the real world.

Because I understand these things about the internet, I don't consider "trust" in a person's identity to be remotely an issue. Of course I don't trust who any of you are.

But I trust that you are human, that you are responsive, and that at least some of you think clear, creative, interesting, intelligible thoughts, and that's what matters on the forums, whether you're a boy, girl, liar, old man, tiny child, atheist, Catholic, Commie-bastard, capitalist pig or whether you are any one or more of those but claim to be somebody completely different.

(SPOILER)Devil Man's persona was shifting all over the place near the end. He/she/it had lost the initial enthusiasm of posts that earned Ciddie nominations, and fluctuated to the point of being entirely drained of energy, like he/she was just trying to crawl out of a mud pit. That dying act, that passes as some kind of a prank, was more of a request for a mercy kill. The mods, as evil as they tend to be, showed heavenly mercy and good will towards their fellow man when they exacted their mighty pink powers.
