In post 815 D makes reference to an assertion made by P in a previous post. Although never addressing the actual facts of P's argument, D attempts to falsify it by calling him a liar and added that he was arrogant and delusional. D also makes a potentially erroneous assumption that P claims to be God.

So calling a liar a liar is a lie? And the "erroneous assumption" is a logical conclusion.

There was obviously someone on the thread that recognized this abuse, outside the posting rules of FR and logical debate. In post 854 the Mod recognized and made note of the fallacious posts.

As I pointed out before, the AM yelled at D because they don;t like the term "Liar." Nowhere in the AM's post does he say that D is lying. Now that I know the AM doesn't like calling people liars, I ask you what term can be used to describe your complete misrepresentation of the AM's post? It ain't honest, I'll tell you that.

Later in a noble act of contrition D makes a concession (later clarified as not applicable) in 1029 that she may have been a bit accusatory.

*sigh* "a bit accusatory" is not a lie nor a logical fallacy. It also has been clarified in another post in terms of its general reference.

And finally, someone else must have passed along another abuse complaint since another Mod appears to recognize the adhominem had exceeded acceptable limits and issues a global smack down in 1059.

Again, a general admonition and no evidence of any logical fallacy or lie.

I'm sure you are aware that adhominem attacks are a logical fallacy. I know that D is aware of this fact since I've posted this to her on numerous occasions, and as documented in the first Mod slap down.

Well, you need to learn what a logical fallacy is. If I call you a jerk, that is just an insult. If I say your arguments are invalid because you are a jerk, that is ad hominem.

I see the insults (and appreciate them). The contention that the original poster is a liar is just that -- it is backed up in logic and argumentation. The other stuff is probably a certain amount of insult from frustration.

Sadly for you, neither is a logical fallacy and you have yet to meet my challenge. 1,300 posts and all you can come up with is some insults as examples of Evo's lying/LFs?

I can come up with specific CRIDer lies in the first couple of hundred.
