True - but they are individuals. They are not "the forum." More often then not 99% of these claims are quickly challenged.
Do me a favor (this applies to everyone who posts on here) go in your bathroom, look in the mirror. That guy looking back at you - He is "the Forum" as much as anyone else.
I'm going with the Otter defense, "The issue is not whether a few posters take liberties with the truth........... they do. But you cant hold a whole Forum responsible for the postings of a few sick, perverted individuals......."
Hell - I'll just let Otter tell it:
