Anything that could be construed as accusing another poster of lying should be avoided. It’s one of the basic rules of Great Debates - that one cannot accuse another poster of lying. Changing the wording to get around this rule is not an act designed to endear you to your moderators.

In the post in question, your first use of ‘libel’ (or any of its variants) is allowable. You’re referring to people off-board.

Subsequent uses, such as:

You are specifically referring to another poster as a liar. This is forbidden. I elected to mod note that instead of warning you because - as I said in the thread - it took some time to get the decision right and I think it’s bad to hammer someone after the discussion has moved on.

Okay, that I understand. Do not attack the poster. Thank you for the clarification.

Is the exact language allowed in Great Debates? I had the understanding that syllogism insults were prohibited in Great Debates.

I also now see the alert triangle. Thank you to who pointed that out.
