But if you're 14, tellling somebody over the internet that you may be arguing/debating with that you're 30 (in their minds) brings instant credentials..

I guess. It's the internet and 2012 tho, everybody has the same resources. Unless your like really old and got to watch Wilt play live or some shit.

HA I actually lied in this thread about my age. I'm still 37 for another month. Is it really lying when you were just wrong?

Anyways, I think there's a difference between arguing with people, online flame wars etc, and stalking people and stealing their identity and other stuff GOAT does which is why he started this thread.

This.

I have never even considered the possibility of posters lying about their age. What would be the benefit?

I'm just trying to look at it from the perspective of a young kid. For the most part, i'd say everybody on ISH is close to the same age

I officially became old this year.

Of course, but that type of behavior is only acceptable for teenagers in my opinion. After that, you are, as you stated, just an asshole.
