I agree with you, Burning Feather. And after watching her defend it, talk about it, etc... sooo easily (that is, lie so smoothly), it does make you question many things she's said. Yes, I recognize this is the internet. People lie all the time. But this just makes me shake me head in disappointment again. And regarding the post up there^ that said "Maybe that picture is how Scrappower sees herself." - Really? I can't get on board with that kind of thinking. Sorry. and to whoever said lyingliar is a coward - yes. If you're going to say it, own it. Doing it that way makes everyone suspect. Back in January when Scrappower made her announcement that she was going to take a break, a new poster showed up the next day with the exact same "voice" and very similar details as Scrappower and several of us noticed and said so. Even her denial was the same as Scrappower's today. Then in a strange "coincidence", when Scrappower returned, that new poster was never heard from again. So, I think the issue with her goes farther than just wanting a better visual photo to present because of her illness. And I don't see glee from anyone here. I see surprise and shock and maybe a little validation on some past gut instincts. Holy hell! was my first reaction to what unfolded here. plus, the person who I have always assumed to be the alter ego was online earlier, but after the closing of the account.

I'm really sorry about scrappower; I liked her a lot. I'm sorry I'm not posting a pic of me. I feel very ugly right now between the moon face from the prednisone and the wheelchair I avoid photos at all costs. That cartoon version of me in my avatar was pretty accurate about a year ago. When/if I look like that again I'll post a pic. You all are very beautiful and it's so nice to see your faces!

The most puzzling thing to me is that scrappower has been around a very long time and seen a lot of stuff go down with the Peas, so there is just no way she couldn't know that someone here would recognize that photo. It strikes me as a purposeful self-destruct.

But why would you even WANT to take the time to do that? Unless you're someone who just wants to be bitchy and right. So you're pretty much convicting the person who shared the truth and giving the person who lied a free pass?
Bullshit.
LOL....that's the way of the world in the land of 2 Peas. Now had it been Skybar, the opinions would have been very different, but Scrappower comes down on the "correct" side of many socio-political issues, so she'll be given a pass. In fact, Skybar would have been excoriated for "lying". We all know that Scrappower will be back. I don't know why she did such a stupid thing as to post a picture that was so easily verifiable as "not her". But again, she WILL be back.

I don't think it's fair of you to drag the name of another member into this debate. You could have drawn on your own experiences and things you have said and done to make your point, after all.

It strikes me as a purposeful self-destruct. Absolutely. You basically just proved my point that basically she is really a terrorist in disguise basically about to carry out her/his mission and this was basically the big hairflipping, middle finger salute to the peas. Basically.

I feel bad that SP is in a position in life where she feels she must lie to us for whatever reason, but I agree I think she did need to be called out on it. It puts into question pretty much everything she has said.
I also feel bad that I outed myself as so dang gullible. Maybe my initial mental image of SP was accurate after all. That's why I mentioned it, I totally did NOT picture her like that in the slightest. In fact, I thought she'd even said she was older and near retirement age.

I know this board has a diverse group of women, not all I like or agree with, but I respect your diversity in views. Scrappower on the other hand always came off as a total weirdo, seems like this board always has one or two people who are just addicted to posting here all day long. This munchausen photo post of hers destroys any credibility she had. She was not required to post a photo of herself, sorry this is really weird to do. Freebird - I also thought she was much older and didn't think that photo could be her.

I always liked scrapower - but am I the only one who thought her entire persona was a complete facade?
When she posted that photo I just assumed it wasn't her because I've always thought she was an alter ego who created a compleyely new person - I'm the only one who thought that???

I vaguely remember ScrapPower being older than me. I'm not about to hunt down whatever thread we talked about our age but I know she wasn't 41. I've got this song stuck in my head now after reading this thread:
Will the real ScrapPower please stand up?

Who really cares if someone posted a fake photo of themselves? Perhaps she is incredibly insecure about who she is and wanted to give a different impression of herself. Is it really that big of a deal? I don't get the glee in outing her. I have to say that I agree. Every single one of us is somebody else online, even if only through omission. We don't share the parts of ourselves we don't want others to see. The picture I posted is definitely me, but I chose a flattering one, taken in a good light, where my hair looked nice (and I have to say my RL hair rarely looks that nice in our humidity). Someone who wanted to could go through my FB albums and find a much less flattering photo and say, "Wow, Merge looks really different here." I posted a photo that shows how I see myself at my best. Maybe that picture is how Scrappower sees herself. It's not quite the same, but was it really worth outing her for it? What did that accomplish? I agree with Merge Left... Kindness is always a better way... perhaps the kind thing would have been to send her a PM and give her the opportunity to take it down and maybe apologize. Its not a big deal and I hope that the R-Peas can handle this situation in a kindler and gentler way than the old Pea site. Its been a year isn't this the first "hair flip?"

wow, this thread took a strange turn. I admit when I saw the picture I was surprised that was scrappower, that lady looked much more at peace than the image I had of scrappower in my head. Im not a long time pea so maybe Im missing something but I dont understand the need to post a photo and lie.

Lucy, great picture of you and Herbie. Yes, switch to Photobucket. It is so easy to post a picture from that site. I post a picture to FB (usually locking it, so only I can see it) and copy it from there to here. ah didn't think to try that! Thanks

I guess I just am having a hard time with her just slinking away like that. SP was never known to shy away from standing up for herself. You don't agree with her? Too bad, so sad. She was never afraid to take an unpopular opinion. As far as I am concerned, no biggie on the picture. No harm, no foul. That is, unless you are over invested in the lives of people on a message board. I am actually Hillary Clinton. Hi Hillary! I wil probably vote for you On a more serious note, I agree that SP wasn't a shrinking violet and I'm surprised that a) she posted the fake pic and b) defended it. Doesn't seem to be her style at all. And now I know why this thread is 9 pages! I figured I was just lazy in sharing a picture

Thanks One hint about using FB...I copy the properties of the photo that pops up on my wall. If you click on the picture to enlarge it and use that one to copy and paste over here...it's way too big over here.

Where is Trollie? Has she posted a picture? I want to see what that trollop really looks like. what?!?!? you mean Trollie doesn't really look like her avatar?? <--- this was taken last summer on Maui; we were getting ready to go to the Old Lahaina Luau... I don't have very many photos of myself that I like-- it's not often that I'm in the pictures instead of taking them, and plus, I usually blink when the shutter clicks!

I'm less concerned with spreadsheet keepers than with those who lie. Spreadsheet keepers only have as much information as you put out there. So true. I just don't get the point of the lying and adding the fabricated story to the picture. I really am curious what the point is? Heck, I guess I'm too trusting...

I think if the first attempt to "out " the photo was done privately it might have had a different outcome.
I think Lyingliar is a coward and should have handled it differently.
I think Burning Feather handled it with class giving her an out.
