How honest are you when you post?

I'm honest here and I'm honest in my real life. I refuse to be a liar. I haven't been here too long but from what I've seen it appears that most people are honest here. I was on Answerbag before I came here and it's funny, when I first signed on to AB this question was one of the first that came up and my answer was "why wound anyone lie on a site like this?" I was very naive (dumb). Some people lie every where they go and I think that's a horrible way to live a life. Big waste.

What is the point of participation of honesty is avoided? I post my picture, I use an amalgamation of my name, I post honestly. There are some discussions I will avoid. But there is no hidden agenda. This approach has at times gotten me in trouble in other boards. I believe though that the "truth sets you free". Why bother if you are simply establishing a strawman persona or coming to poke a bear? This would mean that you would have to keep up with the lies you tell so that you are consistent in your style and in your postings. Far easier to simply be forthright and honest in both style and information. So to answer the question, I am always as perfectly honest as I am able to be.

I am usually honest here and otherwise. When I feel that I cannot let it go, I avoid that discussion. I do not respond it at all. That solves my dilemma. Thanks.

I tell the truth when i post. If it's a sore topic for me i tend to avoid it unless i think what i have to offer could help someone else. I would like to think that people are honest on here but you never know...i guess even if they aren't they can create a discussion from it..but at the same time what is there really to lie about...not knowing who you are talking to can sometimes allow you to say things you wouldn't normally say or feel

I am very honest on my response here, so what if I express my feelings on a wrong grammar what matters is that I am given a chance here to puor my heart out.

I know I am honest in my posting and replies here and online in general. IMO online in forums like this and support groups etc is the ideal place for totaly honesty, no one knows you , and if they judge you for your honest opinion so what, its not like your going to bump into everyone on the street and even so people can choose to be totaly anonymus there fore totaly themselves.

i also do think about this issue of honesty when it comes to our posting a discussion here onmylot,,it sometmes surprise me when people say they put out more than 50 posts a day,i ask myself how true most of those posts are but well in my case i always write about what i go through or what i find interesting when i read other books,or when i come across informtaion i think might be useful and i try to be as sincere as i can when responding

i am honest when posting i think it is easy to say thing you wouldnt say to people in person and you dont feel like any one is judging you! i think this is a good place to get your feelings out and the only way to do that is to be honest!

I always be honest when I post . And I just chose the discussion which is interesting with me .

I am honest when I post. There isn't any reason not to be honest. I would rather be honest and tell the truth. when you lie it seems like it can come back and bite you on the back side. I feel that most people on here are honest. what would be the gain of not telling the truth.

Well, until now , i have been 100% honest, but it is still my first day here.

i think im an honest poster.. i give an honest opinion and i try to make interesting honest post.. some times that makes me unpopular but oh well

I am always an honest poster. I don't see the point of lying. we all are hear to share our opinions and that's what we all should do, whether other people may agree or not. I always try to post on discussions that I am interested in so there is no reason to try to make up something that may sound good.

For me i only post on discussion that i have an idea or wherein i can share what i know and what interests me the most. We don't really know for sure who is honest or not but it is nice to read to the post of people who share the same problems, interests and ideas as you.

I always am honest with my posts. I have no reason not to be. I think most people here are honest. Just like the rest of life, there are always those that will lie.

My responses are usually based on my personal experiences so all of them are honests responses. I usually assume that everyone else tells the truth too.

i just try to help others if i have had similar issues and overcame it. i have noticed from reading other people's discussions that the best advice tends to be from internet people than from people you know in real life. i also go on style.com discussion and everyone has very good advice for others too. i wonder if all these people give such good advice in real life with people they know or just on the internet with strangers. i know that i have advised many internet strangers with advice that helped them, in different areas and sites. it is interesting that you cant find people like that in real life. if you want advice, you have to go on the internet to chat with strangers. i think my stuff i wrote were honest.i probably wrote more than i should on the internet. God only knows who is reading all this. but oh well, we are doing to help one another out in the hopes that we all will have better lives in our areas and help one another move on in our lives...

well it's up to the other posters if they're honest or not on their posts. as for me, all that i post here were really true and that was based on my personal experience or from a family or a friend

I am honest when I post here. I am hoping others are honest too. I like that you said you are honest. I hope you continue to do so too. I know I will continue to be honest when ever I do any posting.

I think I am an honest poster and honest responder. I don't post a thing or a situation that I could not relate or I haven't experienced it yet. I feel awkward about it. I only respond to a discussion if it was already happened to me.
