I know of a poster on this board who led members to believe that he was being deployed for active military duty, and then sat back laughing and jacking off while people offered their thoughts and prayers for his safety. He was actually going off to play games. Why would such a person not get his ass kicked off the site and permanently banned? I think that behavior is disgusting, and little different (just in a smaller microcosm) from the behavior of a fake veteran. After all, he pretended to be a serviceman in order to get the benefits of sympathy and kindness, seasoned with the sick pleasure of manipulating people.
