I repeat rsgbb is a talented writer and I understand that you like her or his stories. But they are purely fiction.

It sounds like you were new in this forum, but you are not… You have never noticed these inconsistencies in other stories? People usually want to hide their identity, so if they share stories, they change places, names of people, their age and background. If they share more stories, they forget which little lies they used before and next stories are inconsistent. Serous question: You have never noticed it before? Next thing is that if the story should be readable, you usually must time to time simplify, change something so people who do not know the context and have not been there can get in from few sentences. And some details you can just forget over the years. For me, it does not mean that such stories are fiction. But if you insist on 100% truthfulness of all stories, I guess some 90 % of people who shared anything should stop writing or move to Fiction section. This kind of story purism kills discussion in every forum. Everyone will think twice before sharing anything and we miss out on a lot of experiences which would be normally shared.
