"Admin Moderator, I am asking for a ruling here. Regarding the repetition of a proven lie; I argue that such is not the type of conduct befitting a member of Free Republic, and ought to be grounds for dismissal. What say you?"

If repeating proven lies was a firing offense on FR there wouldn't be any birthers on this forum. How about asking for a ruling about calling other freepers idiots, like you've been doing?

Besides, your supposed "proven lie", isn't. It's the truth. Nothing you've dished up proves otherwise.

People may occasionally repeat something which is false, but that is not the same thing as lying. LYING is intentionally repeating something which is known to be false. If someone is demonstrated to be LYING, then they ought to suffer sanction for it. Making a mistake does not rise to that level of intent.

The Truth is always an appropriate defense. I can demonstrate on a preponderance of the evidence that anyone to whom I have referred as an idiot, most likely meets the vernacular definition of same.

To demonstrate my willingness to be diplomatic, I will agree to stop referring to people on your side as Idiots, (and the like) if they will stop saying ignorant sh*t. Deal? :)

You must not have read my response clearly, else you have a comprehension problem. I did not say he was a liar. I said if he repeated that accusation after I have shown him proof that it is not true, I will thereafter call him a liar. As of the moment, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

We all make mistakes.
