lying I post what comes into my mind at that particular time, i am just honest. when i joined mn that was part of it's charm people were honest and could post what they wanted as there were no monitors.
now it seems to be harder to do that which isn't helpful imo for free speech like it or not. I would rather know what people were thinking. mn is self regulating but in the old days it was done on thread not through reporting which educated posters and kept everything open.
I have sent sooty a pm (i am going off that bear and i really used to like him!)
