No, no one should believe anything you say just because you advocate for yourself. Bad people or dishonest ppl or misdirected ppl (not saying you are any of..) don't normally speak badly about themselves. I would venture that in the vast numbering cases, if someone comes here and bad mouths a poster (which, by the way, is not allowed and if you've been here since 2001, you should surely known that...??) that would normally be due to an agenda, a personal agenda. So you give more reason to not believe, than to.
