Laura, thanks again, however I disagree, and must disagree.
Let me put it as simply as I can:
As per Dictionary.com a lie (noun) is defined as:
1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood
2. something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture
3. an inaccurate or false statement.
4. the charge or accusation of lying
:
I apologized for making a false statement. That covers definition #3 and definition #4 does not apply. I also note that general usage is to use the first definitions of words.
My last line above was the reason I had used lie(1) in the previous post.
What I said was that I admitted to lie(3) = an inaccurate or false statement. Which is the definition
you applied in
your message above:
By definition, [color:"red"]the false statements you made[/color] about the purpose of this forum and the purpose of Russ' posts are, in fact, lies.
lie(3) is not the same as lie(1) because there is no intent and to equate one with the other is the logical fallacy of equivocation.
Yet, you ignore the fact that the other part of definition #1 includes a "falsehood" (which by its own definition #1 is a false statement; a lie) and there is no intent attached.
This is another logical fallacy, here the "all A is B" fallacy:

Where B represents falsehoods, and A the falsehoods with intent.
B is not the same as A
lie(3) is not the same as lie(1)
Honestly, I simply find it quite ridiculous and a waste of my time that you are quibbling over half parts of definitions.
Then don't.
Don't waste my time with logical fallacies and implications that are not true either. You are now trying to imply intent, and the only way you can do that is to make arguments based on logical fallacies, as shown above.
You accused me of lie(3), not of lie(1), and I apologized for lie(3).
Enjoy
