Do you lie on the internet?

I often see the phrase "everyone lies on Mumsnet / the internet", but personally I don't! I might alter the odd tiny detail (to make something easier to explain or less likely to be outing), but nothing that changes the sense of what I'm saying.

Of course I know there are trolls, but AIBU to think most posters are genuine?

Please vote for yourself (not what you think other people do).
YANBU I'm as honest as the day is long
YABU making up stuff is half the fun of posting anonymously

The only thing I lie about is my name - I have a abusive ex who is still tracking me after 15 years, so it's a security thing for me. I keep my real name off the internet.

Of course not! Everything is true that I post. Why would I lie?
(Or am I lying?)
Nobody will post a truthful answer, surely?

Only someone who lies would look at it that way
