I don’t believe the post in question “asserted dishonesty and malicious intent”. I don’t think it was a comment either way on her dishonesty nor intent. Here, so everyone can read it again:

Which part of that do you think “asserted dishonesty”? Please be specific.

Which part was a commentary on her “intent”, malicious or otherwise? Again, please be specific.
