Liar's Poker

When a person tell a lot of lies they are always in a vulnerable position. They have to hope and pray that someone who knows what really happened doesn't come along and blow down their whole house of cards with one inconvenient truth.

From one of the administrators at susan-boyle.com: 


The person concerned was offered the opportunity to retract and countered with an accusation that we had reported one our members to Scotland Yard for Stalking Susan, and assertion which again simply beggars belief.


This sentence is technically true. However, the person who made the statement knows very well that she did in fact attempt to get the authorities and Sony's security branch to investigate a fellow fan. She sent an email to certain individuals falsely accusing the fan in question of buying information about Susan Boyle and spreading damaging rumors about her and her family. Ironically, in so doing the administrator who sent the email was herself spreading false and defamatory rumors about the individual she targeted. Psychologists call that projection. Others might call it pure malice.  



From the email:

It will be difficult for us to substantiate much more - but a PI may have more luck.

....IF she is the [fan] who is alleged to
be buying information, and IF these stories are being circulated by her
then perhaps an eye needs to be kept upon her.
-- I sent this from my 3 mobile --


So she was telling the truth, after a fashion. She did not send Scotland Yard after another fan. She merely attempted to get Sony to send a private investigator after the fan, based on rumors, false statements and outright defamation, with a view towards harassing her. 

The administrators at SBFII often accuse others of committing libel, yet here they were doing the same themselves. They have started numerous rumors about Susan Boyle, as well. As mentioned in a previous post, one moderator claimed to have a copy of Miss Boyle's medical records and disclosed the alleged contents to other people. The old phrase “It takes one to know one,” comes to mind.  



Fans who think that this incident and others are unimportant should think again. If they did this to one member of that website, they could as easily do it to any other. All they need are a bunch of baseless allegations and a grudge in order to go after other fans. You could be in their good graces today, yet find yourself subjected this sort of attack tomorrow. You might want to watch your backs.
