Your situation was a complete anomaly though. People like to throw around the term "pathological liar" when referring to someone who's obviously aware that they're being a shitty person. Shadowshrek wasn't like that. He actually had no idea that he was lying, because his psychology of lying ran that deep - he had effectively convinced himself that he didn't do anything wrong. Meaning he stole your shit, but he could've passed a polygraph if interrogated about it - I have absolutely no doubts about this. I tried hard to get people to understand what was going on, but when you're dealing with someone who is actually, legitimately pathologically lying, there's almost nothing you can do.

So it's not really fair to take something like Shadowshrek into account as if that's a normal thing that's going to happen if you ask for transfers. That was you being struck by lightning.
