but there's no need to call someone a liar or claim that they're lying...

Especially when the person is not lying and you could easily satisfy yourself that such an accusation is in fact, incorrect.

Re: "Hey, listen, I enjoy a heated debate on the topics, but there's no need...."

Right!

But I *did* ask very politely for a clarification about a DOZEN TIMES or so first.

It was only after multiple polite and straight-forward requests were dodged/ignored that I then suggested that the claimed 'refuting post' might not have existed (since it had never been produced despite multiple polite requests)--- and yes, that started the regrettable and unfortunate spat of impugning someone's veracity, and which I of course much regret....

Then the much requested explanation was finally produced and, guess what? All the hullabaloo was much a'do about nothing because his mysterious 'missing' post, in fact, never denied the simple fact that I had originally stated, and which had been called "in error".

(Actually the finally produced post confirmed my statement by saying that State-issued certificates of birth are "prima facie evidence"). It merely added that even "prima facie evidence can be "challenged"....

Which is something that I had NEVER denied and never would deny because that is TRUE too!

So... all this hot-and-bothered and for what?

NEITHER of us disagrees with the basic statement made by the other, and there never was any factual "error" on either side.

(Ah, the joys of Web posting! <GGG>)
