For instance, you might say a deity, religious authority, author, sect or group lies. But if you say another Freeper is a liar or has told a lie, then that is making it personal.
Because there are so many other word choices ("false" "wrong" "error" "misinformed", etc.) - there is NO justification whatsoever for using that word in reference to another Freeper, personally. It attributes motive, the intent to deceive - it is mind reading and therefore inflammatory.
I understand what you’re saying. I also understand the limitations of what you’re saying. Essentially it boils down to this:
People are allowed to lie here.
People, however, are not allowed to note that someone has lied here.
People are allowed to make inflammatory lying statements.
People, however, are not allowed to note that inflammatory lying statements have been made here.
People can call statements “false” or “erroneous” but not “lies” or perhaps even “dishonest”. This applies to statements such as this (please note the section in caps):
“The RCC says the priest is greater than the rest of us, more holy, closer to God, and THEREFORE ENTITLED TO WHATEVER PLEASURABLE LARKS HE MIGHT FEEL THE NEED TO EXPERIENCE.”
I understand the rules. I also understand how Protestant anti-Catholics routinely lie and hide behind the rules here. It’s what they do and it’s what the rules here, sadly, foster. But I do understand.
