That makes sense, of course. Its an interesting take on why someone would lie. I like it. But whether someone is lying or not seems irrelevant. The poster would know they're lying to themselves (unless they're delusional). I suppose it wouldn't be helpful to confirm someones delusion, but in that case putting a 'if you aren't lying' sort of disclaimer probably won't dissuade them.
Granted, I have no experience in this forum and am not intending to be offensive. Just more understanding.
