One last thing--you seem to be missing the point about "subjective characterization." An "outright lie" means that someone willfully said something he knew to be a falsehood in order to deceive people. Saying that someone "poisoned" someone else, whatever you think of the terminology, is not an "outright lie." It is someone's interpretation. I could say that Awareness slandered my father, and he might say that's an "outright lie" because he thinks he's right. Yet, that doesn't mean it so. I could also say that Awareness told an "outright lie" when he said he knew my father in Detroit. But, again, that doesn't make it an accurate use of the phrase.

And, I'm not making a comment about "poisoning" because it's not even relevant to my point. Saying, "Note that he chose not deny that awareness was accused of poisoning" is a red herring. I didn't deny it because I wasn't there, not because I want to make a "classic LC rationalization."

Please be more careful.
