"You two still good friends?"

I still like Jim as a person. He is one of the most
intelligent people I have ever met. Unfortunately, we had a
differing of opinions a few months ago.

Jim tried to pass off a bunch of discredited liberal
propaganda as fact (FWIW, he is moderately conservative in
his personal politics, but he hates all politicians). I don't
buy BS from anyone, so I called him on it. All I did was say
that I knew what he said was known to be discredited (by the
9/11 Commission I believe) & it was not true.

Well, Jim doesn't like to be told he is wrong about anything.
He went into a rant that repeated the line, "Are you calling
me a liar?" I insisted that I was challenging the factual
accuracy of his assertions, but I was not calling him a lair.

We both refused to back down. Jim took it very personally.

We haven't talked since then.
