Attitude is everything man... take it from a guy witha bad one most of the time
You have no choive on here but to take the op for his word. What would the difference be if he used an account that had fake stats. You never know the truth and can only hope you are NOT being lied to, then offer the safest advise possible.
If YOU feel so strongly that the op in ANY thread is being dishonest then just move on and don't say a word. I have had to leave several threads that I felt the op was being dishonest about stats and such. It happens.
