What if someone You have been friends with and close-to for a long time keeps lying on-line about things THEY supposedly did-- when they know that they had nothing or very little to do with it, and do not even know the details of most of the projects.
It was all you- or someone you know/are close to that did these things. Their only contribution was from a GIFT to you, and now they are taking credit for what you decided to do with that gift… repeatedly and on several different Websites.
You still have every text, message and email between you , but now they are saying things that never happened.
Already talked to them about it in a round-about and gentle way–but it did no good, they still got offended. Took a while for them to get over it- but they went right back to the same actions as before.
I do NOT want to publicly embarrass them, as it would cause a LOT of drama, not only for them- but the people they are ‘‘working with’’ on other projects…and it could end the friendship.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO??
It sounds like not doing anything about it and or not causing said drama and problems is enabling them.
If the friendship is important to me I would want to speak from my heart with my friend. Ask them directly why they feel the need to embellish their role and tell them it’s not a good look.
Darkness can not exist when light shines upon it. Wishing you and your friends friendship well. Many blessings and much love
Personally, I would call them out. It may end a friendship but I won’t keep dishonest people around me. If they are so willing to lie, were they really your friend? Life is too short to be around people you cannot trust. Just my opinion. 
I have to agree with Doug, friends don’t use/f**k over their friends. If they are doing that to you, then they are not your friend, just somebody using your friendship for their own personal gain.
When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Over the years I’ve learned that you can’t change people. I would acknowledge and accept this person has this characteristic and decide how much of that I’m willing to tolerate in my life; it’s usually none. Other than that, I wouldn’t do anything. Is that enabling? Eh… maybe, but I don’t find it to be my responsibility to police other adult’s personalities or try and force them to be someone they aren’t… but I can sure as hell keep them out of my life.
Regarding confrontation… I always ask myself “what is the goal… what would I hope to accomplish by confrontation?” Teach them a lesson? it wont stick. An apology? Would you believe them? I usually decide to let it ride and move on.
Warning… I only have like 2 close friends… 
and have been called cynical many times (its logical dammit! lol)
Clearly this person is not the friend you thought them to be. And clearly their actions don’t change so sooner or later they will expose themselves for the fraud they are. So no matter what you do anyone that interacts with that person will figure it out. The attempt to talk to them about it the first time, was you attempting to salvage the friendship. If you are worried about the people working with that person now, letting them know may not change a thing they may still rock with them. At that point if they get taken advantage of or used it’s on them.
Cut them off and let them talk all the shit they want and know that anyone who believes them is a fool who deserves what they get.
As a person that had to deal with a ton of folks I really did know, on various job sites all across the USA, some into Canada, I found out really quickly, *to be direct, in conversation, with EVERYONE".
From the top down. I really worked hard to never speak DOWN to anyone either.
As the decision maker, you always offend someone, and I accepted that.
However that is on them to work out.
Personally I would not confront them if it was going to cause a lot of drama or strife. BUT I certainly would not play their game and just agree that what they are saying is true. I would tell my version of the events and let it alone. I also would stop considering that person as a friend as friends do not take credit for what YOU do………
Troll the entire community so everyone else can see how weed growers actually act.
The weed scene is the choice cover for the most lazy of all scumbags.
Shame they don’t allow dislikes here…… 
If you don’t like it here please feel free to leave!
He’ll be banned, again, soon enough.
I would 100% call them out, the ensuing drama for those associated with them is a serious bummer but I doubt they’ll stop otherwise no matter what you say to them in private. Just my 2 cents.
He is entitled to his/her opinion no matter how lame it is ………… but posting to just disrupt is screwed up. The best action is to ignore them!
Boron boy has had his fill of fun for today.
Hi @Lady.Zandra63, if they are taking advantage of you, ask how are they worthy of your trust or friendship?
As far as them taking credit for something, proof is in the pudding, possession is 9/10ths of the law, yada yada.
the truth is like a lion it needs no defense. if someone is doing harm in any way financial or to a reputation it must be stopped most here are not really into dirty laundry. but even Jesus went right to the source to flip a table couple months ago there was a thread with a lot of people saying they wish they knew no one knew as no one said a thing

Bothered you enough to ask, it will just keep bothering you. Clear the air.
