It is fascinating, but it's also incredibly sad. Especially when it's Munchausen by Proxy for real, not just internet stories.
Yeah. In the Warrior Eli case there's lots of people who have cancer themselves who wasted time and energy dealing with her. A lot of people were very emotionally vulnerable when they met and befriended Eli.
But I don't recall anyone saying anything until after he "died."
Well, not here, no. Because he was here.
It would have to be huge for me to think it worth it to disrupt the community because of suspicions that may or may not play out, and for which I don't have proof. I totally understand avoiding that sort of confrontation.

What the wise woman said.
Well, also, we were had previously had a very contentious episode with a community member who suspected a new community member was someone (perhaps the only person) we ever banned. The person with suspicions ended up leaving on a very bad note, and later it turned out he was correct. I can't imagine anyone bringing it up after that.
Also, we know the story wasn't that it was a were-monkey, just a regular monkey. right? Which seems ridiculous, but not as impossible as a were-monkey.
In non-were monkey news, the building management of my office park has starting bringing in food trucks twice a week. Today's was Thai food, and it was really good, but now I want to eat all the Thai food in the world, even though I just finished lunch.

The joke was the he had been turned into a were-monkey, after being bitten by a regular one.
Hmm, Ben&Jerry's just tweeted that it's National Chocolate Ice Cream Day.

Yes- I was just afraid that the people who weren't around thought the joke part was what we believed!

No, I got that, but I always thought the monkey bite was code for something.
