Bill -

I have a question for you. Having a hard time figuring out where you stand on an issue.

Message 22958058

In this post, you defended Solon for calling someone a moron. (In all caps, bold, with exclamation points.)

You said: "Anybody who now "knows" something because of a post by an anonymous poster on the Internet deserves to be ridiculed as a non thinking human. Solon described him accurately."

Now, in this post,

Message 21799813

you call Eleutheria to task for calling someone who lied a "liar". You said:

"'Liar' is a pejorative term.
It is unbecoming of anyone who fashions themselves as a mature and reasoned debater to use such a personal, emotional and inflammatory term."

My question for you is how is it that Solon's actions were OK with you, but Eleutheria's weren't?

- Allen
