one of my friends had a discussion and I answered it. I asked a question and they told me the answer. Today their was another discussion on the same subject and I asked a similar question and they provided me with a different answer. Now I think they were lieing about the whole discussion and I am angry because it was something serious. Why lie come on! Do you think I should delete this person as my friend? Has this happened to you ? To prey on kind people is a crappy thing to do just for some bucks.

Wasn't me, was it?
I would first confront the person and ask what is up with the different answers, then if their explanation is not satisfactory, then you could delete them.

No it was not you! If I confront them they might just lie again.

Yes, they might, and at that point you could delete them. But perhaps there was a reason for the lie, so an explanation may put the situation to rest.

Hi honey, relax! The world is full of liars, so why get worked up when you meet one on Mylot? :) If he/she bothers you so much, give him/her a piece of your mind through PM, and just delete him/her. As for liars, I am yet to meet a truthful person.
Cheers and happy mylotting

I am over it now. It just made me upset because they played on my emotions. How someone can say they are having surgery on their pancreas and then when asked how it went be told they got a wort removed is beyond me. I just do not like being lied to. You are right I guess everyone stretches the truth a bit.

to me it seems there are a lot of people who use the internet to work out their fantasies, a lot of people who lie on air. I think its the nature of the medium. It is by and large annonymous. BUT....ask yourself why you felt the need to ask the same question twice? If you had suspicions about the advice given, maybe you should have rased them with the person initially?

they told me the were having surgery on there pancreas and then when I asked how the surgery went , they told me oh it was a simple surgery to get a wort removed. I was upset because I told them my prayers and heart go out to them. It just was not nice!

I understand that the same person gave two different answers for the same question?
Well it really depends a lot on the question. WHile most times people will have the same response, sometimes they don't. If it's an opinion question, people can change their minds, reach a different opinion after discussing it or seeing other people's opinions, or even think differently depending on their mood.
If it's a concrete question there is less of a chance of changing one's mind, unless something has been learned since the first response that makes the person think differently or know differently.
It might even happen that after answering, the person thinks a bit more about it and reaches another conclusion, another opinion. This is something normal.
If the person has a strong opinion about the issue, there is less of a chance to change opinion. But if the issue is not something that strong in the person's view, the response can be different because her/his opinion was not very sure from the beginning - the person might be divided from start and when the same question is posted again give a different answer.
It is not necessarily lying. People often don't even realize that they are not completely sure themselves.
I understand that being important for you, this change of answer might upset you but most people in here are honestly giving their opinions and views, and sometimes will have a different answer for the same thing, it is not that uncommon. Sure some people in here are in this site just with the idea of making money, sure some are even capable of writing anything just to make a cent or two, but that doesn't mean that someone that gave a different response to the same question is in that category or lying, not necessarily.

LOL you got me there :)
Maybe it was the surgeon who changed his mind, after checking the pancreas he might have thought that it was easier to remove the wart :)
I guess that's why I never really take things too seriously in here - as a rule, of course, I've had my days :) =.
Still I don't know if I would delete this person from my list of friends. I have a good sense of humor and this one turns out to be a bit funny - moral of the story never lie, you might not remember what you said at a later time :).
I guess this person might be feeling a bit embarrassed as well, that should be punishment enough. But that's me. As I said I don't take things too seriously here.
I know a lot of people do - and that's fine too - and if it bothers you enough that you will have trouble relating to this person in the future, then I suppose deleting is the solution.

This person said they were having surgery on their pancreas and when they came back to mylot I asked how the surgery went and the they told me it was no big deal they just got a wort removed. I do agree about changing your mind on an opinion but how do you say you are having a major surgery and then tell someone you got a wort removed?

maybe not because they might have a valid reason why they did it.Maybe they are so occupied and they are answering you with a different one.I hope things will work out between you and your friend here.But i sure hope that it wasn't me because i also have an operation.

No it was not you! I am not going to put who on here because that would be just as bad as the lie they told. Not nice. Good luck with your health to!

No over reaction here. You can not possible have surgery on your pancreas and then be ask how it went and be told you got a wort removed.

lol lol... well, I guess you are very right! That is crazy... I was not sure of the comments at first, but now I understand why you are aggitated... look... some people are pathological liars.... I guess we are just supposed to turn and look the other way bc unfortunately there is not a lot we can do to make them change their ways. But it is still beyond me why some people would lie about things like that...

I don't think it's anything to really get upset about. Different if it was an offline friend but if it's just someone on your friends list on myLot then I think you have to recognise that sometimes people are not entirely honest online. Of course I don't know what the topic under discussion was but I just don't think it really matters that much. If it really bothers you though then I would just delete them from your friends list. That might be the best thing to do anyway as you probably won't believe anything else they say in the future!

well thats totaly your choice,wrre you friends with each other, like friend you talked to everyday?.... or just a firend who happen to be on your frineds list?.... yes it is morally wrong to come on here and lie just to make money. but people do it. ive never seen a mylot rule stating do not lie. but i may have missed that to. its not that important to me because i do not lie....
but if the just a friend on mylot that just happend to be on ur firends. i wouldnt worry about it. but thats me...
now on the other hand if that was a firend wich you talk to everyday on mymlot or in other places. i would feel lied to yes. thats not a good feeling..

i can't stand to be lied to about anything.i wouldn't call her a friend if she lied to me.if she'd lie for bucks she'd lie about anything.

I am a very honest person, and I don't like for people to lie to me. Just don't tell me anything if you have to lie. But it stands to reason, on a forum like Mylot and you are someone's friend, they will sooner or later find out when you lie. I've always said it is better to be honest than to lie. You never have to tell another lie to back up the last one you told, IF you are honest.
Give the person a chance to tell you the truth. Then if you aren't satisfied, do whatever you feel is necessary to make you feel better. But I would confront the person with the two things you know this person said and find out what is going on. A major surgery is nothing to tease about. I would be afraid something worse might happen to me or someone I love.

Thats right don't tell me if your gonna lie! Some people just don't care. How someone can say they are having surgery on their panaceas and then when you ask how it went they tell you they got a wort removed is a big difference to me. That is a awful thing to lie about.

:( POOR person,he/she must has HUGE life pressure.You can't imagine the person lies even on the internet,where nobody acturally knows him/her.
honeydew,you might sent the person some pity,because he/she has lost your trust,it is much more valuable than some bucks.

Things are never black and white. Sometimes people change their mind. It happens. Or maybe they had a moment of a truth but next time it was not so easy to be honest.
You should not give up on somebody just because they made a mistake. You do not know they reasons unless you ask. Who knows, maybe then you will hear your truth... :)
All the best

You will find if you stay in mylot that some people do make up stories they know that hit home close to peoples hearts and or nerves to get responses they don't care if they are lies or not they just want people to hit and give responses. If one of your "friends" on your list lied can give them another chance or deleted. Treat it the same way you would if they were you friend in real.

before deleting that person I would ask about it. there may a perfectly legit reasone why they sappeared to lie. you said it was a friend and in the fairness of the friendship,I'd say thaT as a friend you owe it to him to at least hear an explanation.

honeydew82174 could it be that two different posters
thought differently about the same subject and thats'
why you were given a different answer to your similar
question? I do not know of the two discussions of which
you speak so cannot treat this fairly myself.

yes they just for some bucks, they don't know the true things or people thoughts, few memebers doing in this way, they are giving post discussions with some creative way, so they may done these mistakes without knowledge, you should have remind them for these activities.

It sounds as though they were just posting anything to get money. The fact that they didnt even realize that it was you they were talking to or that they had already given advice tells you that they are just on here to post and post and post some more. Not really paying attention to what they are writing or whom they are writing it to. I would tell this person what happened before you delete them as friends. They are probably doing it to other people not just you. They need to know that you realized what they are doing. Maybe the can change.
