Let me use another example. Its justified to call John Edwards a liar. He has demostrated that he's a liar. There are times where name callng is justified.
Now, the question is, is it ever justifed to call a person a name here on your forum?
You have claimed its not, so I will abide by that, even though I respectiviely dissagree with that opinioin.


You need to study the law more closely, Ed. If you call someone a liar on a public forum and you do not have hard evidence to back you up, it can be considered libel and you have now opened yourself up to a lawsuit. Sure, most people won't take it that far. But the fact remains that some people take their reputation very seriously and they now have the legal right to sue you if they wish. Some people take slander and libel very seriously. You may think you are right, and you may feel you have the right to call them whatever you want. Just remember that they also have the right to retaliate with legal action.

Besides, why not simply show your evidence that proves someone is a liar and let the evidence speak for itself?

That's true Dorian. I think that was a good idea. I'd forgotten about the prayer threads being hijacked. That wasn't cool.

Geez Ed. Just stop being passive aggressive. You've already called me a liar mulitiple times. Obvious implications on this thread are just like naming my name. Whoopty Do. I don't care. Not a single person believes that I'm actually a liar because EdTwo says so. You have no evidence of anything, period. Seriously, if there is anything else you would like to insinuate about me just send me a private message because I'm pretty sure everyone else is sick of it. If not, you have three other options 1) shut up, 2) get over it, or 3) leave the board. You are no victim my friend. You are just as bad, if not worse, than any other member on this board. I'm going to make a conscious effort to speak to you as politely as possible when direct communication is absolutely necessary so why don't you extend that same courtesy to others as well instead of making excuses for your past bad behavior?
"Besides, why not simply show your evidence that proves someone is a liar and let the evidence speak for itself?"

Ahhh...Because a liar will continue to lie in the face of whatever the evidence is.They will not admit the evidence proves them wrong. They rather save their reputation, than to admit theyre. lying,

Oh, I see. So literally calling them a liar in front of everyone solves that problem, right? Since no one but you is intelligent enough to see that the evidence you have provided proves that person to be lying, you must literally call them a liar so that everyone else will understand and see your point? I'm afraid I disagree with you, Ed.

By the way, a member of our forum recently accused me of believing that rape victims, children who are sexually abused or bullied, and battered wives are all at fault for their horrible experiences. Because of how I handled a situation on this board, I am now being accused of being an insesitive, unsympathetic monster. I didn't sign up for this when I created this site.


Someone actually compared to their 'treatment' here with rape and sexual abuse? I'd like them to say that directly to a victim of child abuse and/or rape.

You and me both, Bob.
