My stories have always been true and unexaggerated
with the exception of the one about Rocky, my prize fighting whelk.

However, I don't give a crap if other people's stories are true or not as long as they are entertaining. Having said that, I rarely post stories any more because I can't be arsed wading through Spanky's posts which are essentially one laboured joke that is invariably the same every week, and all the other barely-literate the "good times", "nuff said", "cue this", "I'll post more later" bollocks. In other words, it stopped being entertaining for me.

But who gives a crap? It's the Internet.

So I have no intention to slag people off if their stories aren't true (because, as you say, who cares?) but I don't see why we can't offer criticism at all, especially for the stuff that isn't "finely crafted". Criticism is by far the most entertaining stuff to read.
