Does it get any sillier than this?

Quote from 377OHMS:

I think Lucrum originally pointed out that some of the stuff RCG was saying was made up.

The turning point for me was a thread about firearms. RCG said that he routinely made pistol target shots at over 100 yards. Then he said that it was common knowledge that rifles become more accurate with range. Both statements are so outrageously wrong that I became convinced that he was just lying. There have also been claims that he served in the military as some kind of commando but never made it into the sandbox. Then he changed that story and said that he had indeed been "in-country". At the same time a P&R participant who is a decorated combat veteran was PM'ing me saying that RCG was making it all up.

I circled back to some posts between RCG and Lucrum where RCG claimed he had taken flight training and then claimed he had not taken any flight training. He oscillated between the two positions a few times before growing silent on that subject.

Then there was a really weird episode where RCG was saying that I was some kind of combat veteran even though I repeatedly stated that I was a wrench in the USAF and served *after* the Vietnam war and never saw any action. He kept going on about my home which is sitting in a rather defensive position on a rocky butte. It was strange and made me uncomfortable.

Now he has been busted making fabricated journal entries by people who are equipped to assess FX trading claims and the thread has been moved to Chit Chat. I guess that pretty well expresses what the mods think.

The guy is a pathological liar and about the only thing he has said that I believe is that he is a night nurse in a hospital. The man does not possess the capacity for shame and he'll likely just continue on like before. Any normal person would leave at this point or perhaps start out fresh with a new account.

He said he had taken flying lessons then later claimed he never said that.
As usual I quoted his post but even that won't get him to admit anything.
He claimed while in the Army he was in "harms way" only to later admit he was not. Personally I doubt he was ever in the army. He's listed three distinctly different places in ATL where his parents supposedly live.
Either he doesn't know, they're not living or he's an orphan.
What would be so bad about just admitting any of that I don't know.
He tried to tell us a .22 is the same thing as a 5.56mm nato round.
He made some comment about pistols getting more accurate with distance.
Personally I doubt he's ever held a firearm.
The list goes on and on and on. Truth is I've forgotten more of it than i can remember. I doubt seriously he's even a nurse.

You're being too hard on the guy. Anyone can make a few mistakes. Pistols do get more accurate with distance. You just say, yep, that's what I was aiming at. A .22 is the same thing as a 5.56 Nato round. They're both bullets, aren't they? In harms way while in the Army? Anyone in the chow line could say that. Now don't you feel foolish?:p

Are you sure he didn't mean .223 was the same as the 5.56? They're not, but I can understand how someone who isn't very familiar with rifles might mistake it as they look essentially identical.

I can't remember exactly, but there was some mistake made in the size of the round he was referring to.

We were not exclusively discussing the caliber when he made the claim (at least that's my recollection).

The really outrageous part was how he tried to spin and lie his way out his mistake, not that he made a mistake.
We all make mistakes ,except 99cent will go to extra-ordinary and herculean efforts to appear otherwise instead of fessing up and admitting them.

Just in case anyone wants to know everything about the 5.56 and .223 cartridges and interchangeability.
