Mac.... Are you calling me a liar? I admitted I made a mistake...A mistake is not the same thing, as a lie. Is it?
Chill, Druid. The reply addressed Cael's conclusion and Steve's complaint about it. It offered no opinion whatsoever on your innate truthfulness. If you must know, I think you're (at worst) an inept, imprecise, emotion-driven debater, and (at best) someone desperately trying to clarify an apparently very individualistic mysticism in what may be an inappropriate venue.

Did you lie? I don't think you did so on purpose. I think you probably used "studies have shown" (or whatever it was) as a vaguely supportive rhetorical device without thinking about it first. The result was a phrase which was a lie, regardless of your intentions. An object lesson...one which, I might add, many of us have also learned the hard way...ensued, you stood down, and the incident was closed until Steve reopened it.
