Situations like this are what caused me to begin posting on FCF, NFCF and now AFF. I began hearing things that were being posted regarding my church and pastor that had absolutely no fact. I began lurking just to say what was being said - that was probably my biggest mistake. People were taking things way out of context and spinning it any way they wanted to - Well, needless to say, I "lost it" one day, quit lurking, joined the forum and said my piece.
The title of this thread says it all - people don't mind stating fiction as fact and perceptions as truth - especially if it stirs the pot.
LOL!! That is pretty much the same way I started posting, I was scared because I had never been a part of a forum before, but one day I got irritated enough to jump in.
