Calling someone a liar in the Pit is just a common greeting. The only interactions I see moderated regularly are bigotry (racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, etc.), physical threats or wishing someone harm (even a non-specific meme like “die in a fire”), and really REALLY blatant trolling or doxxing. Personal attacks, accusations of lying and trolling, calling someone a racist, those things aren’t just okay, they’re why the Pit is here really. Someone is being a lying racist shithead but not egregiously enough for moderator action, call them out on it here. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > @Riemann, so anyway, who are you calling a liar? It’s probably the least original person one could imagine, since there’s a 400-post Pit thread dedicated to him lying. But it was amusing that even when the facts _did_ strongly support his point in the Musk thread, Sam Stone still just could help but throw in a couple of unnecessary “errors”. It just seems to be compulsive with him. ---

Oh. Him. Our resident old fart, a man so propagandized that he couldn’t help but bring politics into the ‘journalism is bad’ thread (post 25). A man so pitiful he whines about how he is being treated, yet still comes back for more abuse. Must be lonely where he lives. Me, I like hanging out with people who like me (hi!). Perhaps Sam doesn’t have that option in real life either, and electronic rejection is more than likely less painful than in-person rejection. Still, it’s weird behavior. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > I just don’t think I ever had the urge to specifically call someone a liar before, and it suddenly occurred to me that there might be an exception for that. I think the Pit is the only place that you CAN do that. Same goes for calling someone racist. Or, you know, what everyone else already said. 😞 ---

**slicedalone** seems like fun. Currently in P&E, arguing that it doesn’t matter if Trump serves any time in jail. It’s everyone else involved, you see, that should bear the consequences of his incompetence. ---

He claims to be a “leftie”, but he sure spends a lot of time worrying about what the right wing thinks. ---

He isn’t scared about what they think-he is concerned that they might not like what is going on. Instead of giving his own opinion, he will report on the supposed opinions of the right. ---
