Can I flat out call a poster a liar in the Pit?

It’s a trap.

Third time’s a charm.

You can in any forum, but if caught the mods may not be nice to you.

Totally allowed. The list of things you can’t call other posters in the Pit is very limited:

No hate speech*
No death threats or wishing harm.
None of the terms listed on the “banned words” list.

Anything else is fair game. And if you’re talking about someone who’s not a poster at all, the only restriction is “No hate speech.”

I thought it was forbidden to tell another poster to “Go fuck yourself”, which doesn’t seem to fall under any of the restrictions you mention here.

The whole Pit should be shut down. It allows people to be mean and that is wrong and satanic.

Satan is my master. He has always been. He tells me what to do. He buys my Metallica records for me.

I’ve not seen anything specifically against it in the rules, but everyone’s been so fuckin’ touchy-feely lately…

In fact I want to Pit someone who joined recently specifically for being a liar.

You can even tell him or her they are a big, FAT liar. But, you can’t tell them their pants are on fire. There has to be a line somewhere…

Well, obviously, that would violate the board rule against wishing harm on another poster.

What if the pants on fire were specifically stated as being stuntman asbestos fire pants?

Yeah, when I started an “Ask The Guy Who Wears Asbestos Pants Anything” thread, I got suspendered.

What? You don’t already have them all? You fail at Satanry.

Surely, if their pants are on fire and you alert them to the danger, that’s the precise opposite of wishing harm?
