while characters such as Patrish Pete, admitted to having exaggerated aspects of their personalities, even with these contradictions, my view remains constant to when these avatars were first introduced. Just as with the other profiles’ belief in Jericho despite an inherent lack of authenticity, I also accept given information online without the need for any extra questioning or contemplation.
