Nonsense. The Internet may offer its own challenges of verification, but we mainly rely on other people's words about themselves everywhere we go. As I said, apart from close friendship or family connection, we are pretty much in the same boat with all of our casual acquaintances as we are on the threads. In any event, no one in his right mind calls someone a liar without particular grounds of suspicion. Noting that they could lie is not sufficient, and I take umbrage whenever someone suggests that because he or she is not in a position to verify my story, that means it is reasonable to entertain the notion that I am lying. Society cannot function on the basis of that sort of distrust, and it is a perfect example of demeaning others in order to shield yourself from responsibility in this medium.....
