If lieing includes distorting the truth by omission, deliberately using
pejorative terms to leave unfavorable impressions of situations and people,
and in general playing fast and loose with the truth as it suits your whim,
then I give you no apology, and in fact you owe one.
If lieing is strictly defined as directly asserting something counterfactual
to be true, and nothing else, then you have my apology as I am too lazy to
go sifting through all of your posts to catch you out. Reserving the right
to do so later, of course.
So I apologise for calling you a liar and not backing it up with cites of
direct assertions of strict counterfact. You're still a chump, though.
<snip rebludgeons>
These have all been addressed to my satisfaction. If not to yours, tough.
