[net.motss] Caught in a lie

   I want to thank a lot of the people who sent me personal mail regarding
the Drugs and Rape and Men in Lies Postings I put up. Catching a person in
a lie can be good therapy; in my case it was. Danny boy claimed that my
roomate called him in response to a message he left for me. Now! number one,
my roomate doesn't have his number nor does he want it. My roomate was a 
little upset at D's claim and felt that the boy was trying to stir up some
trouble between roomie and me. He knows that my roomate and I get along quite
well and in some ways I have a feeling he's jealous. He has been a constant
source of tension between his two roomates as one of them told me; always in
and causing trouble.
   He called asking me to meet him. I asked about the phone incident and he
claimed that my roomate was lieing and playing headgames. Well, when I asked
him what time the supposed call came in, the time I was quoted coincided with
the same time my roomate and I were out together. I asked him, "are you sure
that's the time?" When he affirmed the time I told him, "that's funny because
he and I were together all night. It would have been impossible for him to have
called". Talk about a man scrambling around for an excuse. I left telling him
that when he was able to behave honestly, then I'de talk.
   A bar aquaintance of his also pulled me aside and told me much more. It
made it easier for me to just cut my losses and walk away. Someone on the net
mentioned that sooner or later the lies catch up with the perpetrator; in this
case they did. As far s the rape case goes, nobody really believes him; the
story keeps changing. Geeee! I guess the cosmic question I ask myself is, "why
do liars attach themselves to honest people?"
