A pertinent question for current events; when do you stop trusting someone's word? What merit is reputation, versus personal experience?

Reputation, like, doesn't mean jack. I mean, for all you know, people are just being lame and spreading lies about someone, you know?

...Then again, someone could totally have a bad rep because they're actually an asshole. So I like, don't know? You've totally got to know someone before you can be sure.

But would you avoid someone with a bad reputation? Or risk seeing if it's based on lies or fact?

It like, totally depends what that reputation's for. If like, the whole world says they're gonna like, I don't know, cut my head off, keep it as a trophy, desecrate the body and dump it in a river or something? Yeah, totally not touching that. But if like, people say other sorts of stuff, and they don't seem bad to me from the beginning, I'd totally want to figure out what's going on there.

And what if they have the people who defend them fooled, and do end up as evil as their reputation generally claims?

Voice ttly_polska March 15 2009, 04:35:05 UTC

Then you like, don't trust them anymore! Duh!

Voice heir_of_fire March 15 2009, 04:53:19 UTC

And in the opposite case?
