No, no-one appointed me as an adjudiactor, but then again, no-one appointed you as a agitator - we are what we are.
As I have pointed out - telling an untruth and lying are not the same thing, hence my post.
If you accused me of shop-lifting, and you believed it to be true, then it would be truth as you see it, and therefore you are not lying. If the fact is proved otherwise, then you would be wrong in your assertion, which still does not negate the fact that you believed your statement to be true.
The important distinction is not the veracity of the statement, but the poter's belief in its veracity - if mike believed his post to be true, he is not lying, although he may indeed be telling an untruth. It is a fine difference, but a difference none the less.
If I do choose to set myself up as an Answerbank adjudicator - which of course I do not, it is for the Ed to take issue over it - as has been done over your agitating.
I have not been castigated on the site by the Ed., youhave, which makes your taking of the moral high ground in this instance rather hypocritical - but I shall take it as the standard wind-up of an agitator, and move on.
