I suspect that it depends on the venue.
'Places' like this tend to have lots of regulars....
Lies tend to become apparent in regular use... Truth is rarely a complete story, 'cos that's not the way our lives are. Your story is complete when you are dead....
Lies, on the other hand, tend to tell a completed story. People tend to be pretty sensitive to falsehoods.
I think the liars tend to flourish more in the ephemeral venues.
