Not naming names or quoting quotes... but I'd like to have a chat about how the above post could be corrected to pass muster.
I plucked the post above from a thread about lifting a permaban on a particular former poster here. I'll grant that the non-banned poster can't 'grok' the mind of the banned poster, so he really can't say definitively that he lied. Maybe the tragedy in Nice doesn't make his personal top-five list, IDK.
OTOH, calling the banned poster a 'scumbag' is an opinion. This is exactly the same as me going around calling other posters 'odious'. So, I guess I got two Qs:
1) Would backing off the accusation of lying, and qualifying this as "seems to be lying" instead, pass muster?
2) Can I still call
zan nen odious here in Baja?
