I’ve been accused of lying here, something I hotly denied when I took it to the pit and subjected my sworn adversary to steel-trap logic. I’ve been accused of disingenuousness - which I didn’t mind because I was doing that ironically and intentionally.

(Those who have a problem with the substance are welcome to comment in the other thread.)
I admit that the term disingenuous is commonly used in politics as a euphemism for lying. But it also has a milder meaning.
