Yeah people certainly throw that word around these days like its a fad. I've been called fake and I'm far from it... Easy to say words when you don't know what to say

Shhhh v_v
Some people need to grow a bit more just to believe you

You and I see fake as something quite different. I feel when someone spouts something so totally spurious as to be [i][b]almost [/b][/i] laughable, but they want you to claim to believe what they're saying, they are either fools or fakes.

Like dumbing down so they could understand

It won't take much here to be called fake. I think we should start worrying less and in stead just appreciate the positive connection we have here, and besides that give a rats hat about what others might think or perceive. We won't be able to ever make everyone satisfied.

Blow up dolls are fake. Humans are real. Dislike of a person or an aspect about that person doesn't mean she or he is fake; it means you dislike that person or an aspect about her or him.

We can not satisfy everyone. And there's always the paranoid bastards too. Everyone's fake ra ra ra.

It's happened to me often. Or you and glitter are the same people you have the sane ip address blah blah blah. Or Gangstress is a man. How am I a man?! Lol

I agree with @Serenitree. There is a big difference between being multi-faceted and pretending to be something that we are not.

Admittedly, sometimes that pretence is sub-conscious and could be driven by a simple desire for acceptance or whatever. I can accept that and would try to reassure that person that it's unnecessary. However, somebody who is willfully putting on an act........sorry. I have no time for those types of people.

On the subject of people being multi-faceted, I think that there are varying degrees and yes, it can be extremely frustrating when we don't know where a person stands on anything or on how to basically deal with them. But, isn't it boring to be with flat, one-dimensional people lol.

People can be fake on the forum as much as they want, it's easy to ignore. It's when they try and pm you and are not real with you that bothers me.

Troll -disagreed with me and didn't back down even when I insulted their intellect and/or morality

Fake -agreed with my opinion on something before disagreeing with my opinion on something else

Liberal -beyond help

Republican or conservative-beyond help racist
