Do you ever get the feeling some people on these boards are full of crap? (They aren't who they say they are.)
Who and why?

Yep. I agree with you. I'm one of the folks that is full of it. I constantly dissemble regarding my income and gender. I do that because I feel that revealing my paltry income will get me excluded from the conversation and I wish to avoid talking pretty like XX types are supposed to.
Being able to talk about money is important to me and very difficult for me to do with folks that I know in real life. We're probably all less deceptive and defensive here than we are in our real-life money conversations.
I refuse to nominate any other BSers. That won't go anywhere good. But "why" is still on the table and could lead to interesting posts.

While I have not really misrepresented myself, I do find it interesting that sometimes the mental image people have of me here is not how I really am. On more than one occasion, I've had posters express surprise that I'm male.
So sometimes it's not necessarily that people are "full of it" but that we each form a mental image of someone that may or may not be accurate.

Some people here presume to KNOW what your opinions must be on every subject. Once you are branded a conservative, liberal, Dem, Repo, or any other "brand", people talk to you as if you always come their perceived notion of what those labels mean. After awhile, you get sick of trying to explain your more nuanced opinion .

I suspect a couple may be, but I don't care and I certainly wouldn't say I thought they were...how do I know for sure? The only person I DID know for sure was lying their ass off I confronted offline in a PM...and then she went away, so what good did that do?

The reality is that everyone here on board is an obese middle age, unemployed male living in their parents basement sitting in a t shirt and whitey tighties scratching their hairy armpits while posting!

I figure it is not an inconsequential amount. My wife buys the super duper TP, which feels great, but each rolls lasts about three good sessions. And our water bills have been crazy high because we got assessments to replace all of the sewers in town, so any reduction in water also saves something.

I confess. I am not an actual lion. And my name isn't really Danny.
I'm just an ordinary mortal human female.

They are waxed, like pretty much everything else on my body.

I admit, her threads were premium entertainment. Even if they were a bunch of crap.

Why does it matter if someone is 'full of crap' or 'making stuff up'? In theory, it's not like they are attempting to force you to accept their way of thinking or to do the made up stuff they've done. If they are making stuff up - when you discover the 'lie' isn't it kinda fun - a bit like a harmless prank or joke that's been played on you? Well, I guess as long as you didn't send them money or take life changing action (that went bad) based on their advice. But, then if you are taking financial advice (or life advice) from someone on line and NOT being a bit skeptical or questioning it... well, then I think you've got bigger problems.
FWIW: at a holiday party with a wide group of friends - there seemed to be alot of discussion of 'people lying' - is this some sort of pop culture thing that's being talked about in the media? It was brought up that 'reality' shows are lies (who didn't know this??) and that pop singers use 'auto tune' and 'lipsync' at concerts (again, how do you not know this?) and that advertisements are filled with lies!!! (again, how do you not know this??) and ::gasp:: that the 'healthy' Chipotle foods have just as many calories as bad for you fast foods! The HORROR!!
I pointed out that maybe it wasn't so much about 'lies' as simple deception or simply letting people make assumptions based on incomplete information. I thought the conversation would be more interesting if we picked apart what 'lying' actually was... rather than pointing out all the deceptions and manipulations we're all subject too by the media.
