Don't feel yourself bad, I know you wren't lying, but it is better this way.

Hey, I consider myself an idiot for believing it as much as I did, and I was merely hoping there'd be even just a blurry picture of some figure that might be a big lizard. IMO, we all need a swift kick in the rear like this every once in a while to keep us in check, to remind us to think twice before we fall head-over-heels in love with an idea or a story. In order to "Deny Ignorance," we need to be reminded that said ignorance starts with us sometimes.
humbled_one, my hat is off to you. If you do get banned--which although I hate to see it, they do have a valid "case" against you if you will (rule #1 no less!)--you have at least one member here who will remember this lesson.

Not having followed this thread (really hadn't bothered as the title was off putting enough) I would say that those who were sucked in get what they deserve.
If you are so gullible to accept this so easily then you are doomed in life to be a sucker for every pitch you hear. Nothing can help you in that case, either banning the hoaxer, or pointing it out as a fraud.
On one hand I would have no compunction at banning the hoaxer on the basis of outright lies and adding nothing to the board. But on the other hand, being the forum it is in, MOST stuff here I consider to be fabrications of one kind or another. As a result its caveat emptor, let the reader beware.

If the mods will allow certain members to lie, how will we know when anyone is telling the truth here?

and I came across this picture that made me wonder if this person is telling a story or manifesting something else that other people have written about.

We have no reason to believe anything that anyone says on here, and banning someone because they admitted to lying will just make others think twice before they admit it.

Ksnazdnzon, You sound mad because you have been wabting to do this and have not. I seriously doubt others will do this and actually i have a feeling they already are, have you not read some of the stories on here? Just because they say they are "telling the truth" does not mean they are, you know?
Zedd, in no way am i calling others idiots. I am simply saying people need to relax a bit and demand more proof before stating stories are facts to back up claims. i myself have said i think there may be some truth in the "reptilian" thing, but i will not make claims of "facts" about "reptilians" unless i have proof or someone else has it any can show it to the masses...
Also i did not post the "hooded lizard" , i posted the Geiko insurance lizard, so i don't know what that person was talking bout...

Ok people, we went back last night and got a pic of this thing, this is all to much and we are really freaking out. This reptilian thing we saw talked!!! I can't write much right now as about 15 minutes ago i heard my doorbell ring and two men in suits and sunglasses were at my door!!! I did not answer the door and they left. They looked like gov't. officials or something. My friend has the camera/pic and i am meeting him soon and we are going to post it, this is all to crazy and is blowing our minds, wait till you see this thing, we only got one pic as we took it and ran out of there as fast as we could. alright i am out of here, but i will post the pic later tonight...
