Calling another Freeper a liar is a form of "making it personal" because it attributes to him the intent to deceive.

Words such as "false" "wrong" "error" "misleading" do not attribute motive and therefore are not "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I appreciate your concern, but my word choice was deliberate.

Intent is revealed through posting history. Continually misrepresenting facts and withholding truth is lying.

Theological discussion is open to interpretation, documented historical acts are not. Posting half-truths with the intent to invoke an emotional response rather than rational though is dishonest, and it is continually practiced on these threads.
