I have a big problem with the word 'lie' here. Make an argument but don't just say 'no, it's a lie'

- throw_m239339 6y agoI don't have a problem with the word I used. These situations are not equivalent at all, why bring that here when it's has absolutely nothing to do with topic at hand? in a dubious attempt at whataboutism? I stand by what I said.
- martyvis 6y agoA lie is something said intended to deceive. I don't k see how you would know that?
- PTOB 6y agoI understand the misuse you're against here. "To lie" means to knowingly speak or write a falsehood. However, any reader knows he isn't claiming the speaker is a liar. He's claiming the statement is false, whether the author knows it at all. It's imprecise, but still legible.
