to call her out on this?

Someone I know has recently made some serious life changes. I can't really go in to details as it will out her and me, as some of you will know her story. Suffice it to say her life is now completely different to what it was six months ago. That's not my problem (and before anyone suggests otherwise, I'm neither jealous of her life nor unhappy with my own). In fact, some of the changes I would have positively encouraged!

My problem is that she's told a web of lies about how the changes came about. There are several different versions of each story she tells, all designed to get the reaction she wants from the people she's telling. She blogs, and recently her blogs have been a bit OTT. She's giving off all these wonderful highly moral stances and claims to be trying to educate people, but in reality she isn't giving everyone the full details. One of the big things that's bugging me is the fact she's deliberately disguising how long her 'life changes' have been going on for. She making it sound like it's been a long drawn-out and considered process, but in reality it's been 6 months. Opinions on what she's doing would change drastically if people knew the genuine time frame.

WIBU to call her out on it?

Does the same as the Chitty Chitty bang bang aficionado above me :)

What's happening here?

I don't get the Joe references, but I do think if it's about a blogger on here, that's a bit rubbish. The blog posts that get highlighted are thought provoking and consciousness raising. For example the one at the moment, which talks about the British drinking culture, can only be a good thing,.,
