I've had somewhat of a problem on other sites based around one hobby or thing where I have entered into issues coming from a place of knowing and having firsthand experience in things many only think they know. I had a top secret clearance in nuclear missile systems and went on to work with an array of civilian defense contractors with different systems they were working on. I'd enter in with a "this is what I saw firsthand" only to have someone call bullshit, whereby a dozen loyal Gerbils jump in with a lynch mob mentality.

On a gun oriented site someone asked an open thread of what was your favorite car you've ever had, I mentioned a small segment of the true favorites which included a Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB Spyder (convertible), a Jaguar XJS factory homologated race car with a 4-speed manual transmission that was faster than the Ferrari GTB, and a really high personal favorites pair of muscle cars which were a Stage 1 Buick and a Hurst Olds 442 W-30. Someone called the BS meter and two dozen guys jumped in with the bull shit call. I went out front and took a picture of my Audi S8 and an Infinity Q45 to post as proof of some nice vehicles that were sitting out front and I became a showoff.

I entered into the fray where the topic was what 17HMR rifle was best and I offered some observations based on over ten higher end models I had. Someone called BS and said they didn't even think I had any guns or do any shooting because I was a left wing liberal (not), someone else said yeah, let's see proof. I laid out eight or nine rifles in a real pretty row, and posted the picture with a list of what each rifle and scope was, I also posted pictures of targets shot with different rifles showing accuracy. Now I was a showoff once again even though I had responded to someone saying I was a liar.

I have fun sharing some pretty wild things I've done, and yes I have done an abnormally high number of crazy things. But if you think about it the kind of person who does one type of thing is the same type person who will do a bunch of other different crazy things as well.

So yeah, I tend to hold back simply because as experiences are shared people tend to start thinking one thing compounded with others starts to sound unbelievable. To put some things in a believable perspective it takes other chronological events that either poses context or just really stretches belief.

Funny story, someone on that right wingnut oriented gun site asked how many people members had been to bed with. I responded with a "heck, it must be about 450 because when I met my first wife she wanted to know and I made a list that came up to 190 up to then, and I had way more during the 11 years I was married to her." Someone called BS, a dozen Gerbils piped in, and I explained to them that my first wife was a stone fox of a waitress who worked two higher end restaurants that had a vast array of very cute and very wild women who we partied with continually. This was in my wild days, I dealt in certain substances, so loose and easy women were always around, and a good time was had by all. There were a couple of memorable nights where I had played with as many as five or seven different women. My wife would come home from work with another woman or two for the specific purpose of getting them laid, ya gotta love that.
