    Pretty much accept things posters say.....unless it's that they have incredible amounts of money.........or have sex 10 times a daily every day of the year and need more and that men/women (or both) just can't get enough of them or vice versa.

    The thing that takes the least amount of time and causes the most trouble is sex. - John Barrymore

    Sex is the most fun two people can have without smiling. -?

    I am a total rube. I usually believe everyone.

    There have only been one or two times here where I didn't trust the person. But usually when people are pouring their hearts out, I sort of assume they must be at a breaking point and just need to get it all out to someone...even if that someone is a blank post box. That's the way I am sometimes.

    I guess I am stupid. But I just figure, I have no reason to lie to anyone, especially none of you--and why should they? False assumption, maybe. But oh well.

    i usually belive people. I have had some bizzare experiences in/around the org, so i don't quickly discount others.

    This has been my first experience on the internet - the people on this site seem to be sincere and genuine.

    At first, I was Terrified to Communicate, and still feel v. awkward with PMs and personal contact. It's more challenging without being able to see the faces and eyes, the body language.

    But on the whole it's like 'real' life - take everything with a grain of salt and give people the benefit of the doubt. IMHO, it takes time to establish trust.

    I tend to take people at face value unless given a reason to be suspicious. Perhaps if they indicated that Knorr was the president of the dubs or some such drivel.

    I generally give ppl the benefit of the doubt unless something is said or done that makes me go "hmmm". If I'm not sure about someone I'll generally keep my distance until I get to know them better.

    I will think the best of people...and too many times it's come back to haunt me. But it's the way I am...

    Although, if it seems to good to be true...it generally is too good to be true.

    I still have a BS alert system that works from time to time.
