I expect that most of us speak the truth but maybe not the whole truth. I feel safe knowing that in this particular forum where I participate, there are not so many posters, so even if I am misunderstood, it wouldn't do much harm. Is that being sincere?

I agree, indeed she may be on of very few sincere poster on here! Not saying there are not others! 😉

I think there's more of a need for honesty rather than sincerity, or is that just another word for the same thing?

Some posters tend to shroud honesty behind cynicism and negativity. Others focus on one-upmanship or self aggrandizement.

Googling the two words, I came across the following: "...The difference, I think, is that you can be honest without being sincere, but it’ll be harder to be sincere without being honest..."

Is that right? I can't feel the difference myself.

Whether you like him or not, VR seems to be a sincere poster.

Perhaps. How could you be honest without being sincere?

Andy we seem to have an issue on our memories of certain events of the past.

Perhaps we should just leave them there rather than dance around in a circle about them getting ourselves no where.

Sincere to me is meaning to do good, to be genuine, not dishonest. Honest is also genuine but maybe without the element of meaning well. Would that be a possible interpretation?

Yes, I like it. Maybe both are important on an Internet forum.
