No, calling someone a liar is making an assumption about their intentions, which, in most cases, you do not know.

Sure, when you hear false statements from a public figure all the time, like Trump for example, you can eventually have enough data to conclude that he is a liar. Do you have that kind of data on the commenter you replied to? No? Well, then it is more appropriate to assume they are mistaken. At least in English, calling someone a liar is very, very aggressive.

Hey man, believe whatever you want and discuss however you please.

I disagree with what you're saying and stand by my previous assertions.

Have a nice day.

No, you're obviously a liar.

Anyway, you being a silly dickhead aside, I corrected my post because it turns out that you were at least correct about the context of the elections. It's a good thing I'm more interested in getting clear and contextually correct information out there or you being such a shit head might've caused me to dig my heels in deeper, which literally would be counter to your purported intent (though I suspect you just want to be right and yell at people, and don't give a shit at all about much beyond that). Have a shit day. :)

Yeah. Your personal attacks make you seem very credible and reasonable.

I'm sorry you're so angry that I called you out for lying. Maybe in the future you shouldn't lie so you don't get called out on it.

Yea, certainly seems like you have no sincere interest in this issue but are just another buzzard. Gross.
