My original post was meant for you and okstate, who did call her a liar. But I removed their name. You said reneged, which some might consider a lie, since it implies going back on your word. I acknowledge my error, but stand by my opinion of your judgemental attitude and lack of logic.

You are flogging this girl who you don't even know with personal insults and assigning assumed motives to her choices. It's obnoxious and illogical.

I imputed no motives to her at all.

A. She agreed to the edits the school made.

B. When she took the stage, she didn't honor the edits.

She may have lied. She may have just changed her mind. I don't know and never suggested I did.

What we do know for sure is that her behavior inexorably reneges on point A.

Of course I'm judgmental - she promised to give one speech and then showed disrespect when she decided to give a different speech. That's wrong. She didn't honor her word. I'm judgmental about that, of course.

And that's not illogical at all.

The only personal insult I have flogged on her is that I think she didn't honor her promise. Her status as an obnoxious pest stems from that conduct.

Like I said, I wouldn't have made the edits the school made. Based on what I have read, I don't find those comments problematic at all.

And for the record, reneges means "To fail to carry out a promise or commitment." It doesn't necessarily mean someone lied or was dishonest at all.

I consider telling your school's administration "Okay, I'll fix my speech to fit within the guidelines for commencement" and then not doing that and giving the original speech to be a lie.
