Does it bother you when people make false claims of injustice?

Let's say, for example, a rather shrill, immature emotional wreck of a person, whose prolific postings in Politics are only matched by his blockings, were to claim he was the victim of anti-gay violence.

Would the fact that you've never heard him mention this before in all his previous postings give you just a little pause?

If his real-world personality were anything like his Y!A personality, could you see * other * reasons why he might get his rear kicked?

You would think other homosexuals would find such claims cheapen the real occurrences.

I'd think he'd be ashamed, but perhaps he doesn't posses the capacity for shame.

@Kid - Yep. The problem is you only get one refute and you are blocked.

He's just a troll blowing off steam, but it does bring up an interesting idea of "reverse bullying."

Where a kid will verbally abuse or torment another kid until his victim lashes out, and then the verbal abuse will claim *he* was the victim of bulying.

If the verbal abuse claims to be gay, then his victim will be demonized and ostracized by the school and the teachers., and likely charged with a crime.

I've seen it happen.

It doesn't bother me per-se, he's obviously a liar and in all likelihood not a teacher like he has claimed in the past but the fun comes from refuting him in the context of the question he asks.

No, not really.
