No Worries,
I really can't fathom why anyone would make up this kind of stuff other than some personality disorder. While I admit that I enjoy the attention, it's more of a camaraderie with good decent people that I enjoy the most. But don't worry yourself too much, that impostor will get what he deserves.
Anyway, I just want you all to know that I am doing fine. I just had my knee x-rayed and there is no real damage. I still have a ball bearing in the soft tissue, where it will stay for a while but there is no infection. My ear drum is still full of fluid but I will probably regain most of my hearing. I am lucky though, I will go home one day.
Anyway, I want to wish every FReeper a Merry Christmas,
Love and God bless,
Martywake

It is best to "disbelieve" the stories because the people writing them could get in trouble with their superiors. I believe that has happened in the past. That's not always the case but better safe than sorry.

There's nothing wrong with a little "plausible deniability" among friends.

Thanks for the writeup. It was wonderful and thank you for being there. I just listened to a sermon that was a diary account of a chaplain in Iraq. Good stuff.
