Great post Joe, and I just love the verbal tennis between you and Duffis!
I started thinking about liars on the site and my first reaction was "well I'm not bothered cos it dosen't affect anyone else". Then I thought "No.....hang on a minute!".
The reason for that quick change of heart is that a lot of people spend a considerable amount of time reading posts, thinking about the message, and then doing their very best to repond to the best of their ability.........the motive? To help others and to help ourselves.
Is it a waste of time if the person we are responding to is deceiving themselves?
No it is not, because I'm not bothered if they deceive me or others.......the effort and time spent will hopefully benefit the many other people who read posts and who are honest. The messages don't only reach those who they are addressed to.
The only person hurt is the one deceiving themselves.
Anyway, got to go....................can't see the dog and can hear running water.
