I guess I've been playing a lot of devils advocate recently so I'll just drop this for some context: Personally I don't really care about Espio, he should be banned for posting under the influence which is against the rules of pretty much every forum except this one. But the amount of pretentious judgmental bullstuff going on here is ridiculous.
Yes, you are assuming. I have experienced plenty, I have online friends who drink and have talked to my dad on several occasions when he had been pretty wasted over the phone, and over text too. Again, stop assuming.
When I said "experience" I meant having been drunk yourself. Your dad and your friends are not Espio. The situations you are talking about did not reflect Espio's. This is not an assumption, this is a logical deduction. You don't know what you're talking about because you do not have experience with drunk texting.
How do you reckon you're going to explain to me the difference between someone who's faking drunk texting and someone who is actually drunk texting when I have had personal experience with drunk texting and your only experience is your internet friends and your adult father? Everyone has a different personality when they are drunk, and drunk texting differs from person to person and is influenced HIGHLY by this drunk personality, as well as experience with alcohol, age, ect.
There wasn't any proof to anything that espio did, it's really easy to 'act' wasted on the internet. You realize 80 percent of people in OP's thread that he linked were calling espio a bullstuffter right?
80% of the people in that thread were also expressing their irrational terror of having alcohol anywhere near their circulation system. I somehow doubt these people know what the forget they are talking about. 80% of the people in that thread were stuffting on Espio because they know he has a bad rep and they figure they can get away with stuffting on someone for a daily e-peen stroke. Just because 80% of people are wrong does not give you the right to be wrong as well. I don't know if you've noticed but 80% of the people on this forum have a tenancy to be loving stupid. Try not to fit in with them.
I don't see how the burden of proof is on Espio in this situation. You're the one making the claim. Espio doesn't need to prove stuff to you, and if you're gonna sit there and bitch him out, it's your job to back up the claim you're making. If it's so easy to act wasted on the internet, why are you
so sure he's lying?
