  • I saw that right as I hit the post button. One bad drawback is that you can't edit that part of your questions.

  • When I tried, it will only give me the option to edit the description part. What am I missing?

  • Oh....ok, I see now. It's the 'rename' option. I just went and played around with it and just saw that. I've never noticed it before. Thanks. :)

    Generally speaking, I call them out on it.  I can't stand to have my time wasted on BS.

  • I do both, depending on the conversation I'm having. Most times I just given them the Spock eyebrow and allow them to carry on.

    I don't bother to contradict them. They won't appreciate it and I don't like to start arguments.

  • Usually I ask questions that are hard to answer by sticking with their bull and see what they do.

  • Yeah, when they lie and bull, they have to think to answer.  Then ask them to repeat it again.

    The latter. I wouldn't want to embarrass them.
