::::Blissy, it is common for people to be in error. It is uncommon for people to be ''intentionally deceptive''. The word "lie" is normally used to refer to an ''intentional deception'', as opposed to a simple misconception. Please do not apply the term "lie" to a falsehood unless you are prepared to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the person knowingly and intentionally propagated a substantive falsehood for the intended purpose of misleading or deceiving others. It is lamentable that many such errors go uncorrected in the venue where they initially appear. I struggle with this same problem myself, so I know how it feels to observe a false characterization in a venue where I am powerless to post a correction, challenge, or rebuttal. Let us not repeat that kind of ''tsuris'' here. —[[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 07:45, 12 October 2008 (PDT)

:::::Okay 2 things that I would like: 1) Don't call me Blissy - it is Blissyu2, or you can call me Adrian if you hate putting in the "u2" in there. That is a joke based on my allergies and my sneezing 15-20 times per day, every day, for the past 25 years. Blissy means nothing, and I find it really annoying. 2) I would like it if you, Alison, and everyone else who has debated about my right to prove that someone is lying about me instead focussed on fixing up the lie. Sorry, but if someone has lied about me, damaged my real name and my reputation, initiated dozens of other smears about me, then I *DO* have a right to prove them wrong. Furthermore, I *DO* have a right to call them a liar. As I said, if and when Proabviouc removes his statements and adds in a public apology on that page to say that he was mistaken, with a reasonable explanation why, then I will accept that. Alternatively, if he is prepared to try to prove, in a court of law, that what he has said about me is true, then we can go through that route. Rather than trying to "debate" about my right to call him a liar for, uh, lying about me, why don't you instead try to use that energy to get him to get rid of those awful, false, hurtful statements that he made that look true in a believable-looking document? Huh? [[User:Blissyu2|Blissyu2]] 08:28, 12 October 2008 (PDT)
