If someone tells you they're an astronaut when they know you know they're not, they've lied openly.
It's lyin'. Covered that over there. Go read it.
And: if you believe I've been naughty, provide a citation or two.
I haven't lied in any way. But, again, if you believe I have, provide evidence.
Put up or shut up (or not...I can leave you to vent alone).
You do that all the time. Ignoring for instance when I draw the distinction between the moral status of truths and lies by pointing to one that does need excuses and one that doesn't, you took half the point and said you had already made the same point. So, yeah, hypocrisy. You did do hypocrisy and it's weird that you are fighting that one so hard.
But like I said, that just made hypocrisy the next thing in line for this treatment. There's lots of stuff that is bad but which your impoverished little theory cannot account for. Today I am asing you to account for the wrongness of a simple lack of reciprocity... applying lenient standards to yourself and tougher ones to other people. You shouldn't need to refactor it as something else to make the case.
