I keep seeing this a lot, people write something or other then state "TRUTH" or "FACT".....
Is this something that is now considered normal and if it is stated, that it is accurate? I find it fascinating that someone thinks they can post up a load of rubbish, then just put "fact/truth" and somehow we all go, oh yes of course that must be true then.....

Most people are idiots. Fact.
Nailed it. 
From a message to an old friend today regarding the linkedin populace;
It is similar to the 'answer if your a genius' type questions.
95% of people answer incorrectly on a professional networking site without any consideration of the possibility that someone critical to their career may notice that they are actually stupid.
That same 95% has not bothered to check the previous 5 answers (different to theirs) and wonder; "how did they get that? Am I maybe wrong?".
Those questions don't identify genius, but they do accurately pinpoint stupidity and laziness.

And the other 5% post grumbles about how that sort of post is inappropriate for a "professional" site without noticing that LinkedIn has a "report post" function.From a message to an old friend today regarding the linkedin populace;

I've never had any luck with that actually working, even when supplying reliable proofs that the post is a complete fake or an out and out lie.Though to be fair, a person who launched an abusive, foul language ridden personal attack on me did have their profile killed, and posts redacted from the thread.
A truly vile creature, who behaved as though she had forgotten she was on linkedin, not t
tter.ETA
I wasn't the one to report it as I felt it was more damaging to her, and the idiot she was supporting, than anything I could say in reply.
