It's just that there is conflicting stuff on the boards, with one thread saying she was, and another thread having a "rl friend" of hers saying the thread last night was pulled due to the abusive nature of it.

So would just be useful to know one way or the other..

the rl 'friend' lives 200 miles away and is an internet friend.....not someone who sees each other regularly....could be the same poster for all we know with multiple names...who knows

Hello.

Here is what Justine posted last night (on a thread that was subsquently deleted)

"We do like to work on the assumption that posters are telling the truth and, after a lot of digging, we can't find anything tangible to confirm that Rarebird is anything other than genuine.

"Of course you can never be sure of any poster's real identity but we would rather err on the side of being occasionally taken in than on the side of being sceptical of genuine posters.

"If you take a different view then it's best not to get involved in threads such as these."
