Depending on how much of a big deal you made of it back in the day, I'd either ignore it and explain at need (IC or OOC, as appropriate) that you didn't know what the hell you were talking about back then, or ...

... maybe lampshade it?

"Yeah, I was kinda insecure back then. I mean, I'd just gotten my pilot's license, right? And I was really just a kid, so ... I wanted to impress you all. And so ... yeah, I lied a lot. Made a bunch of stuff up. It was immature, and I'm not proud of it, but there it is."

People tend to respect those who own up to their mistakes. Aria, forum warrior that she was, went out of her way to weaponize that technique (it's hard to build up much of an advantage against someone who wins back 3/4ths of a point for every point you score).

For the record, I have no recollection of what you might have said or done back in the day.
