- twic 9y agoThis always reminds me of the rule that in parliament, MPs cannot accuse each other of lying [1]. People do it, we all know they do it, and it's a genuine problem that they do it - but we're not allowed to talk about it!

- kbenson 9y agoThe solution there is the same as here. Point out how people are wrong, and if egregiously so, make it obvious that is the case. Replying "The article mentions this exact case and explains it" Is sufficient.
- marak830 9y agoIs it accuse people of lying or present proof that they are either wrong, or knowing lying? Otherwise I could just had me and a few friends constantly telling everyone that anything I don't like, is lying.
