I'd say when you question anothers discretion you may be at odds with honesty. I don't see the questioning as lying but poor judgement. Politeness for discretion's sake is automatically a form of lying. It may be a lie of ommission or a lie of false agreement or a lie mis-representing you true feelings. That is not to say that such discretion based politeness should always be condemned. All have a style and a comfort zone of honesty, politeness and discretion. To me there is a wide range that I consider acceptable. My statement "You comments could qualify an attempt to restrict free speech." I did not say that they would restrict someones free speech. But in fact your comments do restrict someones free speech. As I believe you are honest your expression of your thoughts mean your thoughts restrict your free speech. Your discretion and politeness restrict what you say freely.
