Yeah, some stories do progress with a speed that sets off red flags.
I also agree with AR in that posts should be viewed as true unless something obliously indicates a work of fiction. Not sure why some one would post a ficticous story on a message board. Maybe just for attention and to kill some time. IDK.
That people going through emotional apocalypse in real life, Faced with the most brutal circumstances imaginable are so sensitive, and get so much pain from anonmous comments or suggestions on the internet...
That they run away. Dispite knowing that what they are leaving quite possibly has the collective wisdom and experience to help them. (this really appies to random DS's that stop here.)
In all cases these comments are meaningless when compared to what's going on in their real life...
I don't want to accuse anyone specific of anything, but some of the troll threads are known not just by their similar (strange) phrases, but also by the quickness by which many things happen that should really take weeks if not months.
This.
I knew there was something fishy with that thread when he used the exact same phrase as clairebear but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Other users began to get suspicious and i guess he bailed. If he's genuine, i wish him the best.
First of all I would like to say that I posted on another forum and although some of the posters there were very helpful, others made fun of me and accused of being a troll, I should have known better once I had lurked there for awhile looking for advice and if your story doesn't follow some posters script they will accuse of being a troll. Anyways I hope to find some help here, the long and sort of it is that my wife of 17 years started a pen pal relationship with an inmate for the last 6 months, this guy has a life sentence, I confronted her yesterday after confirming that she is indeed having an EA, she wants a divorce and is willing to give up kids custody.
He posted this. I don't remember anyone making fun of him. The troll remarks were only questioning not accusing. Unless something happened after I went to bed.
Hope things work out for him. His family was definitely in it.
Cases like his are not unheard of. There have been stories in the media where wives have left their husbands and children for dangerous criminals serving time.
No they're not. That's why I cited the Richard Ramirez case here in California.

What really boggles the mind is the lack of willingness on the part of legislatures to ban any type of pen pal socializing by these sociopaths with the outside world.

do WS's admit affairs right away after proof and then want to run away to their AP? Sure happens more often than I'd like to see (the run away part)
do BS's want divorce right away after discovery of an affair? Not most but we have certainly seen it here plenty of times.
do prisoners con women from prison? it's been known to happen, hopefully it isn't very common but it certainly has happened before and will happen again.
so nothing was outrageously abnormal. It was a salacious story and truly tragic and I feared for him. It was indeed weird to see that "Piss of sh!t" phrase but it was by no means definite proof.
Was it worth mentioning? probably, most posters would have explained themselves. Now did inagony overact to being questioned about it? I'm sure to a certain extent but again he is the one in severe trauma so I dont begrudge his decision to move onto another board.
