[Mad Dawg]

The term "lie" was directed to the establishment religious authority, attributing motives to it or them not the Freeper.

The post concluded:

Try another lie.

Rithup to that, the permitted restriction to characterization of one's opponent's religious authorities as liars is preserved. But "try another lie," poisons the well and characterizes the poster as lying.

"Try another lie" did not change the ownership of the alleged lie, which was previously claimed in the same post. It therefore does not characterize the poster as lying.

It does however "poison the well" - but posters should always remember that lurkers weigh such behavior against the one pouring the poison, not the one he is trying to administer it to.

It always backfires.

Or as some say, posters only use spitwads when they have no ammunition.
