OP: mfbarnes is a pathological liar who got his jollies from making crap up on the internet. And when I say he made crap up, I mean he made EVERYTHING up. He lied about his family's lineage on the history board, his garage shop on the outdoor board, his RV on the automotive board, etc. (he might have even claimed to be SidelineAg). He ripped off pics he found on Google to support his stories.
Anyway, after a few of his bigger whoppers were outed (somebody found his workshop pics in an article, his RV pics on some blog, that sort of thing), the Outdoor board went full NSA on his ass. And, since the dumbass used the same login name for everything, he was very easy to trace across the web. There were truly some astonishing lies. He'd claimed to be the S&C coach for the Cowboys, made up a fake oil magazine cover for his consulting service, and even had a fake thesis hosted on some website that he'd ripped off from an OU PhD student (he deleted + replaced the author's name, the names of the professors, the school's name, and the names of the family members in the dedication, and a few other things). He photoshopped his head onto some power lifter's body, photoshopped his head onto the body of some big whigs posing with RC Slocum, and a few others. In a bitter twist, the only true things that they found out about him were things he'd never divulged. Mainly, that his consulting company had lost a half million dollar lawsuit to Exxon and that he had a few criminal convictions on his record.

Somebody already brought that up so I didn't feel the need to cover it again.
I think he likes sagggy hangers too, but I might be getting him confused with somebody else on this board.
Sagggy hangers....now that's gonna be a good sock name
