According to the site, it appears you edited that post around the exact same time you posted this:

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...c-discussion-thread.93173/page-42#post-858867

You realize you just accused someone on this forum of Photoshopping? That's a SERIOUS accusation.

Given that you're potentially hurting the reputation of a long-time forum member, I'd hope the Mods would go back and see whether she really photoshopped your post to make you look bad or whether you changed your post and lied to make her look bad.

Whomever is wrong should be called out.

AND IF IT WERE MY FORUM, I'D BAN SOMEONE FOR LYING TO TRY TO DESTROY ANOTHER MEMBER'S REPUTATION.

I think the punishment should be worse. If someone is trying to make a joke, they should be executed.

Photoshopped. I never said that.
Now now, @Rivoli. There's no need to be a bad sport. Although I had to crop and enlarge portions of your post so it would fit, you and I both know that I did NOT edit your post. C'mon now, own up to what you said. You're quite eager to ridicule people like @Gillman for his posts. Surely you can take some good-natured ribbing yourself, right? (Original unformatted screen capture attached.)

Did you tell the truth when you accused Chickenhawk of Photoshopping your post?

Just curious: Do you think I member should be banned if proven that they lied and slandered another member?
No, I think anyone making jokes should actually be guillotined.

Sigh, the life of a troll.

I was one when I was a teenager, usually the person doesn't have much going on in their life(from personal) experience. A sad sight to see *shakes head*

What made me chuckle was that you got busted with your hand in the cookie jar. We are laughing at you not with you.

This does beg the question, though, if you weren't trying to accuse me of lying, why did you modify your March 12 post?

Because it was funny. Originally I was going to edit it to “NOTHING TO SEE HERE” but settled on NOTHINGBURGER.

He wasn't taking any cookies. He was just counting them to make sure they were all there.

You lied to protect yourself, and in the process risked hurting the reputation of a long-time member on this forum.

You only admitted it when you were caught.

Again, not my forum, but if it were, you'd be gone.

On record, I still vehemently deny the charges against me as fake news.

To be fair, I think he was joking when he edited his post.

And in typical @Rivoli fashion, the joke wasn't very good.

His "you photoshopped this" was tongue-in-cheek.

An extremely fragile ego at play, much intellect but afraid to use it in real life because of a fear to fail because that would put the fragile ego at risk of getting broken.

Alas, I don't believe you, but just for the record, I have no wish to see you banned. Your temporary humiliation is satisfaction enough.

About the virus, I was vexed to see you ridiculing @GIlman and @loop101 for their thoughts on the virus situation, and thought, "Hmmm...glass houses, and stones and all that. Let's look at what @Rivoli has said during this ever-evolving situation..."

If I get banned this thread will turn into an echochamber.

It needs to have some flair.

I’m not a troll tho. I see my self more as a comedian with some pointed policy views.

Apart from all the negatives, there seems to be some positive from this lockdown, the crime rate has dropped, fewer accidents, less pollution, no mass shooting, people are learning new skills, people are uniting in ways unimaginable, more savings, new business ideas, seems like the world is heeling. What other positive you've experienced so far?

Perhaps in NY. However, in rural America where I am, there seems to be more theft and break-ins.

@Kak your meme sucks. It is not just America going down that path, the ENTIRE F*ckING WORLD is using this as an excuse to essentially try out some martial law. Low key in some places, flat out happening in other places. The whole world is on board with this. The. Entire. World. Let that sink in for a second.

100% of the world is currently over reaching and taking extreme measures to grant its government extra power. Not just a little power, a whole shit ton of power.

A popular way to spend Easter for a lot of Aussies is to go camping on the mighty Murray River. Police will be patrolling the river bank looking to fine anyone caught doing that this weekend. If I’m in a tent on the river miles from anyone how am I endangering others, wether I have the virus or not? It’s madness.
A police officer pulled up at a construction site last week threatening a mate and his fellow workers with being fined for not practicing social distancing. There is NO law about this, construction workers are deemed essential and they have only been advised to keep distance from one another where safe to do so. Again, it’s madness. I’m not sure if that particular officer was just being an a$$hole or if he was directed from above to drive around making these threats, but I have a friend on the force who confirmed for us that he hasn’t heard anything about it.
