Hear, hear!
I personally couldn’t give a monkey’s toss whether a post is true, fabricated, or a hotchpotch of both. If it makes me think, or laugh, then it’s done its job. And define ‘true’ anyway – many posters are merely stating a personal view about a subject; whether you deem it ‘true’ or not depends on whether you agree with that viewpoint. The stuff about autism / aspergers this week is a prime example of that in action, as is Legless’ post regarding the state of the country since Noo Labia took over – believe it or not a hell of a lot of people would disagree vehemently with him on that one!

As for my own posts – the vast majority of them are true, some are true with embellishments to make them (hopefully) read better, some are the experiences of people I know, and some of them are clearly straight out my own deranged head. Either way, people seem to enjoy them so until I’ve outstayed my welcome, I’m gonna be here for a while longer (sorry and all that).

As above though, I’d be very disappointed if any of frankspencer’s stories were outright fabrications…
