"I want to have a discussion. You want to "challenge" me. I have "inappropriate perceptions." You "accurately label a person." You have a "plethora of factual information.""

I must disagree. We have been having a discussion. Perhaps
it is more of a debate. I have challenged what I see are
inaccuracies, false assumptions, misperceptions & false
assertions by providing "plethora of factual information."
to prove my points. That is fair game in a discussion.

If you disagree, please point to each specific instance &
state your case. It is, after all, an ongoing discussion.

If I use "plethora of factual information" to prove
someone lied, is calling them a liar an inappropriate or
inaccurate label? If I can factually establish that
someone not only lied more than once, but that they did so
for purely partisan reasons regarding an issue pertinent
to the war in Iraq; Is it not accurate to call that person
treacherous?

Since, in these instances, these people showed utter
contempt for the truth publically, what is an appropriate
"label" to use? Or are labels worse than the acts that
caused these accurate labels to be applied?
