Sarge, your comments disappoint me. First off, Mattwings has criminal issues (George I didn't use Probs). Second, you have tried to switch this to a pre-employment issue. If I recall you, or maybe it was EOS, have said, polygraphs are okay for sex offenders but not for pre-employment. You guys are so selective. I have said numerous times that I feel this site does more harm than good. Yes I believe some people start looking for information about polygraphs before their exam. However, if someone that has nothing to hide unfortunately visits this site, they get psyched up and believe they must try to use CM's to pass. That examinee is then disqualified for employment or in a criminal case - it gives ammo to the prosecuation. Sarge, if you really are a Sarge, you must know that if someone attempts to cheat or manipulate an exam, you would question thier character. BTW Sarge, have you ever taken statement analysis classes. If so, re-read Mattwings statements.
Sorry to disappoint. I'll try to keep up from now on.
Your written statement indicates that you believe anyone who researches the polygraph does so with the intent to cheat. I think that was the only reasonable interpretation. I asked you about that since it seems presumptuous and unfair.

How polite of you, to question my veracity and condescend to me in the same sentence. As far as I know, no one said they were attempting to cheat or manipulate an exam. I asked why you automatically seem to assume that just because someone researches the polygraph.
BTW, you should take great care if you use statement analysis on items like text messages and Internet forum posts. But you already know that, don't you?
