Someone who posts false things. Makes up stories.

Not all bad IMO, some are very funny and done in a jokey way for entertainment.

But some post 'true life' things such as loosing a baby, domestic violence ecty... for attention.

Why is this in 'relationships'? Have you started seeing a man who is 3 foot tall, portly, covered in hair, barefoot and who lives under a bridge?

Creature that lives under a bridge and demands tithes from people crossing. Eats billy goats

and stirring up arguments - they usually look for some sort of trouble or are deliberately provocative for other reasons?

I think some thin of themselves as starting 'lively debate' and some are just melodramatic or attention-seekers.

No harm though. Can be quite funny though when the penny doesn't drop for a few pages.
