I still think there's a huge difference between "I'm too weak and pasty to be honest with people and I have nothing to offer so I'll make myself look or feel better by making shit up" and being tactful and respectful.
The former are the people who cheated at Monopoly as kids, like winning by cheating is anything close to actual winning.
The latter are the people who don't walk up and say "DAMN you are one ugly bitch."
Of course, I'm a known liar-hater. Always hating on the liars.
